IBM DB2 Everyplace Sync Server Administration Guide Version 7 Release 2 Modification 1


Setting up the Symbian OS V6.0 device

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:

Configuring m-Router Connect on a PC

To configure m-Router Connect on a PC:

  1. Connect the Symbian OS V6.0 device to a COM port in the PC using a serial cable.
  2. Start m-Router Connect. A program icon appears in the system tray of the desktop.
  3. Right-click the icon. The m-Router Overview window opens.
  4. 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.
  5. On the Generalpage of the Properties of COM x window, select serial port from the Mode drop-down list. x is the port number.
  6. Select 115200 from the Baud drop-down list.

Configuring m-Router Connect on the device

To configure m-Router Connect on the device:

  1. Press the Extras button on the keyboard of the device. The Extras window opens.
  2. Select m-Router Connect from the list.
  3. Press Open. The m-Router Connect window opens.
  4. Press Configure. The Settings window opens.
  5. In the Settings window, select Cable.
  6. Press OK to exit the window.
  7. Press Close to exit m-Router Connect.

Configuring ISync

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:

  1. Press the Extras button on the keyboard of the device. The Extras window opens.
  2. Select Isync from the applications list.
  3. Press Open to start ISync. The ISync window opens.

  5. Type a unique identifier for the device in the Device ID field
  6. Type the IP address or hostname of the workstation in the ServerIP field.
  7. Type 8080 in the Port field. This is the default port used by the application server of Sync Server.
  8. Type nurse1 in the User ID field. This is the sample user created by the Create Sync Server Sample program.
  9. Optional: Select the Detailed Log check box if you want ISync to register detailed logs during synchronization. Detailed logs are useful in troubleshooting.
  10. Press Set Password. The Set Password window opens.
  11. Type nurse1 in the Enter Password field. This is the sample password set by the Create Sync Server Sample program.
  12. Optional: Tap Save password if you want ISync to remember the password.
