IMPORTANT:
The default MSI package that ships with Steelhead Mobile is designed to be suitable for most network
environments. Typically, you can install and deploy Steelhead Mobile without modifying the default policies that ship
with the product. Consider deploying Steelhead Mobile to your Mobile Clients using the default policies provided, and
modifying them only if necessary.
Make sure you have enough memory on your Mobile Clients to run Steelhead Mobile.
Mobile Client
Data Store Size
. At least 1 GB of disk space is required for the data store. The default value
is 10 MB.
NOTE
: You only need this value if you choose not to use the default MSI package
(containing default acceleration and endpoint policies) that ships with Steelhead Mobile.
Typically, administrators deploy Steelhead Mobile using the default values provided with
the product and modify them after they have deployed Steelhead Mobile to their Mobile
Clients.
Maximum Log Size.
The default value is 5000 KB.
NOTE
: You only need this value if you choose not to use the default MSI package
(containing default acceleration and endpoint policies) that ships with Steelhead Mobile.
Maximum Number of Log Files
. The default value is 2.
NOTE
: You only need this value if you choose not to use the default MSI package
(containing default acceleration and endpoint policies) that ships with Steelhead Mobile.
VPN Port Number
. When you deploy Steelhead Mobile components, you need to ensure
that the VPN tunnel is not optimized. If the VPN tunnel uses TCP for transport, when you
configure the acceleration policy, add a pass-through rule for the VPN port number
connected to by the client. Depending on your deployment scenario, this rule might be the
first rule in the list.
For details about acceleration policies, see the
Steelhead Mobile Controller User’s Guide
.
VPNs that use IPSec as the transport protocol do not need a pass-through rule. This is
because IPSec is its own non-TCP/IP protocol and, by default, the Steelhead appliances do
not optimize it.
For detailed information about pass-through rules, see the
Steelhead Mobile Controller User’s
Guide
