OneBridge Client
Overview
OneBridge Client Software
The OneBridge Client Software is a program that runs on the mobile device, making synchronization possible between
OneBridge Sync Server and the client (the mobile device). Once the client software has been installed and configured, the end
user synchronizes their mobile device by tapping the client Connect icon. This action establishes a connection with OneBridge
Sync Server and initiates the synchronization.
Live Connect
Live Connect provides an always-on experience by delivering information as it becomes available. The bidirectional model of
Live Connect updates both the device and the server of any changes based on events (new, modified, deleted). Live Connect
also includes a notification interface to update the user on the status of the delivery of information.
Desktop Connector
Desktop Connector is a program that runs on a networked PC (running Windows NT/2000 or Windows 95/98/Me/XP), providing
an efficient communication link between the mobile device and the OneBridge Sync Server. For some devices and hardware
configurations, Desktop Connector is the only means of synchronizing the device with OneBridge Sync Server. For other
configurations, Desktop Connector provides simpler setup than the alternatives (e.g., RAS) and/or eliminates the need for other
desktop synchronization software (ActiveSync, HotSync, Nokia PC suite).
Client Deployment Wizard
The Client Deployment Wizard is a utility that enables administrators to create and distribute preconfigured installation
applications for the OneBridge Client software. The wizard presents a step-by-step procedure for creating custom installation
applications ready for distribution to end users.
Notes Client Setup Wizard
The Notes Client Setup Wizard is a special tool to help Domino administrators automatically configure users' Notes Clients and
databases for use with OneBridge Sync Server. This tool can be used to create customized setup programs that can be emailed
to the end users. All that is required of the end user is to launch the installation, and all of the necessary configuration will then
be done automatically at the user's workstation.
The Notes Client Setup Wizard is installed with the Client Deployment Wizard. Notes user's will be prompted to run this wizard
at the end of creating a client install. The Notes Client Setup Wizard may also be run independently by opening the
xcssetup.nsf file from the OneBridge Sync Server CD-ROM or from the Client Deployment Wizard installation directory.
Manual Client Software Installation
A default client software file, setup.exe, is provided on the product CD to allow the administrator to install the client software
manually. No custom installation application is required.
CAUTION End users must not use the desktop synchronization software (ActiveSync, HotSync, Nokia PC suite) that came with
their mobile device when using OneBridge Sync Server to synchronize. Only one synchronization application should be used to
manage each PIM application. All PIM applications managed though OneBridge should be disabled on desktop PCs where
synchronization software is used. If the mobile device is synchronized to OneBridge Sync Server and to the desktop PC,
multiple entries may appear, or data may not be synchronized to both the server and desktop.
