This section provides information about setting up a Symbian OS v6.0
mobile device for synchronization. The topics covered are:
Prerequisites
Before you can test synchronization on a Symbian OS V6.0 device, you
need a TCP/IP connection to the device. You can set up a TCP/IP
connection from a mobile device to a workstation running on a Win32 platform
by using m-Router Connect from Intuwave. You can find information about
obtaining a beta version of m-Router Connect from the Intuwave Web site
www.intuwave.com.
The m-Router Connect consists of two parts: m-Router Connect for the
workstation and m-Router Connect for the device. For the device to
connect to the workstation, m-Router Connect must be installed both on the
device and on the workstation.
Procedure
To use m-Router Connect to establish a connection between the mobile
device and the workstation:
- Install m-Router Connect on the device using the documentation that comes
with the device.
- Install m-Router Connect on the workstation.
- Configure m-Router Connect on the
workstation.
- Configure m-Router Connect on the device.
To finish your setup and configuration:
- Configure ISync.
- Test synchronization to ensure that the Sync Server is
running.

The steps listed below might vary depending on the version of m-Router that
you are using.
This task is part of the main task of Setting up and configuring a Symbian
OS V6.0 mobile device for synchronization. After you complete
these steps, return to Setting up and configuring a Symbian OS V6.0 mobile device for synchronization.
Procedure
To configure m-Router Connect on a workstation:
- Connect the Symbian OS V6.0 device to a COM port in the workstation
using a serial cable.
- Start mRouterDeluxe.exe on your workstation. A program icon
appears in the system tray of the desktop.
- Right-click the icon. The m-Router Overview window opens.
- In the m-Router Overview window, click the icon that represents the COM
port that your device connects to. If you connected properly and the
m-Router detects the connection, the icon is shown as a plug that has been
plugged into a socket.
- On the General page of the Properties of COM x window, select
serial port from the Mode list. x is
the port number.
- Select 115200 from the Baud list.

opens.
- Press Settings. The User Info window opens.
- Type the IP address or host name of the workstation in the Server
IP field.
- Type 8080 in the Port field. This is the
default port used by the application server of Sync Server.
- Type nurse1 in the User ID field. This is the sample user
created by the Create Sync Server Sample program.
- Optional: Select the Detailed Log check box to have ISync
register detailed logs during synchronization. Detailed logs are useful
in troubleshooting.
- Press Set Password. The Set Password window
opens.
- Type nurse1 in the Enter Password field. This is the sample
password set by the Create Sync Server Sample program.
