CHAPTER 2
System and Smartphone Requirements
To synchronize wirelessly, users must have Exchange Server 2003 and the Treo™
650 smartphone by palmOne.
Exchange server requirements
Exchange Server 2003 has mobile capabilities built in and uses Exchange Server
ActiveSync technology for synchronizing with client applications. See
“Typical
Exchange ActiveSync server implementation” for more information about typical
Exchange server setup.
To use Exchange ActiveSync technology with the Treo 650 smartphone, the email
server must be Exchange Server 2003 mailbox server with Outlook Mobile access
enabled. While not required, the following options are recommended:
■
Front-end Exchange Server (Outlook Web Access) and/or a proxy server, such
as MS Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA) in conjunction with your
Exchange server
■
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption
■
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
NOTE
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) doesn’t have to be configured in all situations, but
using SSL is highly recommended. While access to Exchange Server 2003 email and
calendar information is possible without SSL, allowing non-secure access to
information is not recommended.
Treo 650 smartphone requirements
The Treo 650 smartphone comes with the VersaMail
®
3.0 and Calendar
applications preinstalled. If users want to synchronize other information, such as
Contacts, with the Treo 650 smartphone, they need to install the Palm
®
Desktop
software and choose to synchronize with either Palm Desktop or Microsoft
Outlook.
NOTE
Outlook is Windows only, but Palm Desktop software works on Windows and
Mac computers.
CAUTION
Earlier versions of the desktop software don’t work with the Treo 650
smartphone.
