Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite Components
Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite is built around a set of core technologies that provide a common structure and for all components presented through a single user interface. This framework extends your enterprise system to include a wide variety of devices and networks. Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite offers an intuitive user interface, an administrative console, a secure gateway for mobile communications, and a collection of shared services, such as user management, profiles, logging, and reporting. All Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite products include this basic infrastructure.

Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite Client
The Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite client application provides users with easy access to information available through your server. The client application runs on client computers and mobile devices. This is the only application an end user needs to stay connected while away from the office. The client has an easy-to-use user interface and serves as the user’s launch pad for delivery of all mobile information. After a synchronization session, the user sees a summary of the new information. The user can also view summary information for previous sessions.

Nokia Intellisync Mobile Gateway
The Nokia Intellisync Mobile Gateway handles communication, connection, security and encryption, and user authentication. The Mobile Gateway is the connection between the server and the outside world. Mobile Gateway is installed as part of the server installation. The client software contains the components required to connect to the server through the Mobile Gateway.

Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite Control
The Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite control, which is part of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), helps manage all Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite products and functions. The Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite control is referred to as the Admin Console. From the Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite control, you can complete many administrative tasks, including the following:
Managing users and groups
Managing settings and other variables specific to each Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite product
Managing profile settings
Configuring connectivity settings
Because the Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite control is a snap-in for MMC, you can integrate it with other MMC-compatible products. You can set up a custom console to include all your MMC-compatible products. The custom console becomes the central place where you manage users for all products. Microsoft SQL Server is an example of MMC-compatible products that you can add and manage from the Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite control. The Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite control is installed as part of the server installation.

Wireless Email
Wireless Email offers centralized email and personal information manager (PIM) synchronization capabilities for your users. Wireless Email allows users to synchronize email, contacts, memos, calendar, and to-do items among all their mobile devices, eliminating duplicate data entry.
This same data is accessible from any Internet-capable mobile phone and the Web browser on any computer connected to the Internet

Application Sync
Application Sync synchronizes and distributes relational data among client computers that are intermittently connected to a server. Application Sync supports data synchronization for multiple combinations of databases. Application Sync software is integrated with your company’s applications, enabling synchronization without changes to your application. Application Sync captures changes from every client user, stores the changes and forwards them to the users you specify in your data sharing rules. Because Application Sync sends only the changed data to specific users, you can reduce communication costs and security risks.

File Sync
Using File Sync, you can send files or content to mobile users and also collect files or content from users. File Sync is based on a publish-and-subscribe model. You can make files available to your users by creating packages called publications. These publications can remove directories, execute programs or scripts, copy files, delete files, move files, or rename files. You can also control who receives specific files by subscribing users to the files. File Sync can deliver documents of any file type, including Microsoft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and HTML pages. From the Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite control, you can create and associate packages with specific users, thereby creating a subscription. As part of the publication package, you can assign actions or create instruction scripts to run functions such as editing registry entries or launching programs. After you associate a user with a publication, the user automatically receives updates to any file in that publication.

Device Management
Device Management allows the system administrator to collect and manage asset and inventory information for client devices. You can schedule the collection of this asset information, as well as choose specific assets to include in those collections. Device Management also delivers software packages and updates to your client computers. Using the Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite control, you can set up publications for software
installation and maintenance. These publications can accomplish a variety of tasks:
Remove directories
Execute programs or scripts
Copy, delete, move, or rename files
Return client system information
Add or delete registry keys
You can require the client computer to receive these publications or send the publications upon request.
From the Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite control, you can track the versions of publications to ensure users receive the most recent software packages.
