    Installing Intellisync Mobile Suite Device Management 8.5 for Linux

    Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite 8.5.1.323

     

    Nokia has released version 8.5 of Intellisync Mobile Suite. This is a significant release of the software for two reasons: firstly the solution has been ported to run on a Linux-based server rather than Microsoft Windows Server-based, and secondly because it also now comprises another Nokia server product: Nokia’s OMA DM solution for the E-Series range of handsets.

    This additional functionality means that supported devices can be remotely provisioned with settings over the air via SMS using the SyncML protocol.

    It is important to note that this release includes the Device Management module of the Intellisync Mobile Suite ONLY: wireless email, file sync and data sync modules are not included.

     

    Prerequisites

     

    • Root privileges to the Linux server on which Intellisync is to be installed
    • Port 443 (HTTPS) open for access to external hosts ans1.nokia.com and ans2.nokia.com for OMA DM provisioning and push
    • Port 80 (HTTP) open for web access and synchronisation requests
    • Port 3102 open for synchronisation requests
    • Port 25 open for SendMail (required for SMS Push)
