How to configure E71 with Sun Java Mobile Communications?

In my last post, I mentioned that I installed a fresh instance of Sun Java Mobile Communications Server (aka Synchronica Mobile Gateway).

Once the Communications Server is up, we need to configure our handsets. If you are using a Windows Mobile 5/6 or Palm 650/680/700p phones, then you're in luck!  It's fairly easy to download the pre-packaged software into your handsets. If you have a SMS gateway integrated, you can even use the Communications Server Admin module to push the software to your handsets.

Mine is Nokia E71. I'll need to configure it manually. 

1. Click on Tools -> Sync.
2. Click on Options -> New sync profile.
3. Key in a Sync profile name, say "Synchronia". Click OK
4. Click on Applications
4a. Click on Contacts. 

• Include in sync: Yes
  
• Remote database: Contacts
  
• Synchronization type: Both ways
  

4b. Click on Calendar

 

• Include in sync: Yes
  
• Remote database: Calendar
  
• Synchronization type: Both ways
  

5. Click on Connection settings

• Data bearer: Internet
  
• Access point: Always ask (my preference)
• Host address: http://1.2.3.4/sync/
  
• Port: 81 (change to your setting)
• User name: cheechong@mydomain.com (change to your setting)
• Password: *****  (change to your setting)
• Synchronization type: Both ways

The rest of the parameters do not need to bother.
