IBM DB2 Everyplace Sync Server Administration Guide Version 7 Release 2 Modification 1
Before you can test synchronization on a Symbian OS V6.0
device, you need a TCP/IP connection to the device. You can set up a
TCP/IP connection from a mobile device to a PC running on a Win32 platform by
using m-Router Connect from Intuwave. You can find information about
obtaining a beta version of m-Router Connect from the Intuwave Web site
http://www.intuwave.com.
The m-Router Connect consists of two parts: m-Router Connect for the
PC and m-Router Connect for the device. In order for the device to
connect to the PC, m-Router Connect must be installed both on the device and
on the PC.
To use m-Router Connect to establish a connection between the mobile
device and the PC:
- Install m-Router Connect on the device using the documentation that comes
with the device.
- Install m-Router Connect on the PC.
- Configure m-Router Connect on the PC.
- Configure m-Router Connect on the device.
To configure m-Router Connect on a PC:
- Connect the Symbian OS V6.0 device to a COM port in the PC using a
serial cable.
- Start m-Router Connect. A program icon appears in the system tray
of the desktop.
- Right-click the icon. The m-Router Overview window opens.
- In the m-Router Overview window, click the icon that represents the COM
port your device connects to. If you have connected properly and the
m-Router detects the connection, the icon is shown as a plug that has been
plugged into a socket.
- On the Generalpage of the Properties of COM x
window, select serial port from the Mode drop-down
list. x is the port number.
- Select 115200 from the Baud drop-down list.
To configure m-Router Connect on the device:
- Press the Extras button on the keyboard of the device.
The Extras window opens.
- Select m-Router Connect from the list.
- Press Open. The m-Router Connect window opens.
- Press Configure. The Settings window opens.
- In the Settings window, select Cable.
- Press OK to exit the window.
- Press Close to exit m-Router Connect.
The DB2 Everyplace Sync Server provides ISync, a sample
synchronization client application. You must configure ISync before its
first synchronization with the Sync Server. To configure ISync:
- Press the Extras button on the keyboard of the device.
The Extras window opens.
- Select Isync from the applications list.
- Press Open to start ISync. The ISync window
opens.
- Press Settings. The User Info window opens.
- Type a unique identifier for the device in the Device ID field
- Type the IP address or hostname of the workstation in the
ServerIP field.
- Type 8080 in the Port field. This is the
default port used by the application server of Sync Server.
- Type nurse1 in the User ID field. This is the sample user
created by the Create Sync Server Sample program.
- Optional: Select the Detailed Log check box if you want
ISync to register detailed logs during synchronization. Detailed logs
are useful in troubleshooting.
- Press Set Password. The Set Password window
opens.
- Type nurse1 in the Enter Password field. This is the sample
password set by the Create Sync Server Sample program.
- Optional: Tap Save password if you want ISync to remember
the password.
- Press OK. The Set Password window closes.
- In the User Info window, press OK to save the changes and
exit.

properties window.
- On the Symbian OS V6.0 device, press Extras.
- Select m-Router Connect and press Open. The
m-Router Connect window appears.
