5.1 Client Installation Options
You can install the device software for the users, or you can have the users install the client software themselves. Either way, you have several options available:
-
Installing from the mobile Web site
-
Installing over the air from the mobile Web site
-
Installing from a standalone installation you generate through the Intellisync Mobile Suite control
5.1.1 Installing from the Mobile Web Site
Users can install software on their devices through the mobile Web site created by the Intellisync installation program. To do this, users need the full server URL you entered during the server installation. Instructions for installing software from the mobile Web site are included in the appropriate Client User’s Guide. See Section 5.3, Manuals and References for the Client for information about editing and distributing these documents to your users.
5.1.2 Installing Over the Air from the Mobile Web Site
Over the air (OTA) installation enables users to download and install the Wireless Email client and Sync Client to a mobile device through a wireless connection. The user simply navigates to the installation URL, which can be sent through SMS, adds the server account, and downloads and installs the client.
The installation process is similar to the previous process, although you now have the option to install the client software over the air, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 5-1 Installing Software Over the Air
5.1.3 Installing from a Custom Installation Program
You can use the Client Install Deployment utility to generate a custom, stand-alone installation that allows users to install client software without using the mobile Web site.
The Client Install Deployment utility is available from the Intellisync Mobile Suite control. From the Intellisync Mobile Suite control, select , , then. For more information, see to the GroupWise Mobile Server 7 Administration Guide.
