  Advanced screen

Step 2:

At the Network Setting field, choose the network type NotifyLinkuses when opening network connections.  The default is Auto Detect which automatically chooses an appropriate network setting based on available services. 

• Accept Auto Detect and prioritize the connection types from the Advanced… screen, OR
• Select a specific BIS-B type if Auto Detect Fails.

Hint:  If you intend to use Direct Push synchronization, you must use TCP network provisioning.  See more on Auto Detect functionality and requirements here.

From the Advanced… screen, you may also set your preference for the Automatic Radio Cycle.  If attempts to open a network connection consistently fail, the device will:

• Prompt you before it cycles the radio off and on (Prompt)
• Automatically cycle the radio (Yes)
• Display a dialog advising you to restart manually (No)

Prioritize Connection Types for Auto Detect:

On the Network Setting Advancedscreen, highlight the Auto Detect option, press the menu key, and select Edit.

Use the arrows to change the priority of the connection types used or move them into the Do Not Use area.

Select Save from the menu.

Step 3:

Under PIM Load, select the types of PIM items (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks) to synchronize. Choose whether you wish to:

• Replace Device Items – Deletes items currently on the device and replaces them with items synchronized from the server.
• Merge Items* – Merges the items that currently exist on the device and server together in both locations.
• Load without Merging*– Loads items from the server onto the device without sending existing items on the device to the server.
• Do Not Load– Prevents this item type from synchronizing.

*A note about Merging and Loading:  When items exist on both the server and device, choosing to Merge Items will result in duplicates on both the server and device.  Choosing to Load without Merging will result in duplicates on the device.

Step 4:  

Select Register from the menu to initiate the registration.

If you have chosen to replace any of the PIM items (Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks), a warning appears indicating that any items currently on the device will be deleted.

Before continuing, you may wish to backup important items that will be lost in this process.

When you are ready to proceed, select Yes.

You will see a security prompt which asks you to give the NotifyLinkapplication permission to run.

With any NotifyLink related security prompt, do the following:

1.  Check the box titled, Do not ask again.

2.  Select the Allow button.

Registration will fail if you deny this connection.
See Authentication Failure.

You will see the device Inbox once the registration is completed. The length of time for registration varies depending on the amount of data to be downloaded on first sync.

Check the top-left corner to verify that the correct time and date are showing along with the Username that you entered.

The Inbox will populate as the device completes its first synchronization cycle.

Your inbox will only populate from messages sent since you configured your password on the server. See instructions on configuring web client here: http://www.queensu.ca/its/email/NotifyLink/notifylinkwebclientconfiguration.html
