High-speed data connections, whether for business or private purposes, are already taken for granted in today’s world. Mobile data access with notebooks or mobile telephones via hotspots (WLAN) or UMTS are already every day realities. An up-to-date and synchronised data inventory is indispensable in this area. This fact makes the Webland Xchange servers the centre of attention as central data storage for e-mails and PIM data (Personal Information Management- calendars, contacts, tasks). So that these data are available and up to date everywhere and at all times, they must be constantly synchronised with the central server and mobile end-devices and stationary computers (PC’s). These data can be subject to shared use and exchange in a team, company or even a family. To this end, the individual data categories (calendars, contacts, tasks, etc.) and/or the individual folders (sub-folders) are assigned specific access rights by the user so that only authorised persons have access. The solutions SmartSync® and Hosted-Xchange are optimally adapted for these needs so that your data are always up-to-date both on the mobile phone/smart phone, local PC’s/notebooks and on the internet and so that you can use them together with other persons. You can find more information about the services of Webland AG on the website: www.webland.ch. 4 SmartSync® SmartSync® Basics What is SmartSync® ? SmartSync® by Webland enables "over-the-air" (OTA) synchronisation of your mobile telephone with the central server. This provides you with constant access to your e-mails, calendar, contacts and tasks everywhere you go, even when you work "offline". Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync Protocol Webland SmartSync® is based on the Exchange Active Sync (EAS) data synchronisation protocol by Microsoft. This protocol was developed by Microsoft in order to synchronise mobile devices (e.g. mobile telephones) with a central server. The EAS protocol that we developed now allows real "over-the-air" synchronisation of iPhones and Windowsdriven mobile devices without needing to install any additional software. The EAS protocol has been used in the Microsoft environment thousands of times over for years now and is considered extremely reliable. Microsoft DirectPush SmartSync® by Webland includes the so-called DirectPush function by Microsoft. The DirectPush function allows automatic presentation of incoming e-mails on your mobile telephone. The mobile telephone maintains a connection with the Webland Xchange Server and it sends new incoming e-mails to your mobile in real time over the mobile network. The data traffic generated with active DirectPush can be kept very low so that marginal fees accumulate due to this function. Along with e-mail synchronisation, SmartSync® also has the ability to synchronise your events, tasks and contacts. If an employee has access to your event calendar, he can enter a new meeting and you will be informed in real time. Our solution Hosted-Xchange offers many additional options for joint use of event calendars, central administration of contacts, etc. You can find more information about this under Hosted-Xchange. Encrypted Data Transfer via SSL With SmartSync® you are always up-to-date wherever you may be. So that no unwanted third parties can surreptitiously intercept your data during data transfer, SmartSync® uses a secured connection via SSL (Secure Socket Layer). You can learn more about this in the chapter "Configuring Mobile Telephones". 5 SmartSync® Data Synchronisation with SmartSync® SmartSync® allows you to synchronise the following elements "over-the-air" automatically using your mobile telephone: ✔ E-Mails ✔ Event calendar ✔ Contacts ✔ Tasks ✔ Journals ✔ Notes Note that it is possible that your end-device does not support all synchronisation elements. Important Notice: Please keep in mind that additional costs can be incurred for data transfer, depending on the contract you concluded with your telecommunications provider. For additional information, contact your telecommunications provider. 6 SmartSync® Mobile Telephones Supported Mobile Telephones/Operating Systems SmartSync® by Webland can be used with many of the mobile telephones on the market. Basically, you need to make sure the device supports the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol. Many devices can also be retrofitted with ActiveSync Plug-Ins supplied by the manufacturer or third-party companies. If you are not certain whether your device supports ActiveSync, contact your mobile phone’s manufacturer. A (non-exhaustive) list of compatible end-devices appears below. iPhone & iPad All generations of the iPhone and iPad from Apple support Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Version 4.0 or higher of the software must be installed as a prerequisite, though. See also the "Function / Compatibility Overview". Windows Phone 7 & 7.5 Devices from manufacturers who use the Windows Phone 7 operating system generally support Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
