Administrative Setup

To enable RSA SecurID protection on a user’s mobile phone, you must:

-Import the RSA SecurID Software Token records into the RSA ACE/Server database

-Create a record for the user in the ACE/Server database and assign one of the token records to the user

-Send the user the activation license that corresponds with the user’s token record serial number. The user must then correctly enter the activation license into the mobile phone.

To install and activate RSA SecurID on the Ericsson R380s Smartphone:

1.Import the RSA SecurID token records to the RSA ACE/Server database.

The Software Token files are on the token record diskette and have the extension .ASC. For instructions on how to import the token records, see the RSA ACE/Server documentation.

2.In the RSA ACE/Server database, create user records for each user, and assign each user an RSA SecurID Software Token.

3.In the RSA ACE/Server Data Administration application, list the user’s record to display the user’s assigned token serial number.

4.On the RSA SecurID Phone Activation Licenses diskette, locate the activation license file whose serial number matches the serial number associated with the user’s token record in the RSA ACE/Server. The activation license files have the extension .SAL.

5.Copy the activation license; paste it into a text file, and save the text file. The activation license is the string of characters that follows the colon. For example, in the activation license file

3314794:AJ6K452Y6N2HSCT3YE69EB2DHSRH2, the numbers 3314794 represent the serial number, and the characters AJ6K452Y6N2HSCT3YE69EB2DHSRH2 represent the activation license.

6.Distribute the activation license to the user.

7.Distribute the RSA SecurID for the Ericsson R380s Smartphone End-User’s Quick-Start Guide (r380user.pdf) to the user. Distribute the documentation to users when you distribute their activation licenses.

R380 specifications

The Ericsson R380, launched in 2000, stands as an iconic device in the annals of mobile telecommunications. Often celebrated as one of the first smartphones, the R380 was distinguished by its innovative design and features that laid the groundwork for future handheld devices.

One of the defining characteristics of the Ericsson R380 was its form factor. It featured a clamshell design, which provided a compact and portable solution for users. When closed, the device protected the screen and keypad, and upon opening, it revealed a large monochrome LCD display. This dual-display feature made it easy to use, and its robust construction ensured durability in everyday scenarios.

The R380 ran on the Symbian OS, which was a pioneer in mobile operating systems. This allowed the device to support a range of applications, something that was still emerging in the mobile market at the time. The operating system enabled users to manage contacts, calendar appointments, and tasks effectively, enhancing productivity and organization. The device also offered SMS and email functionalities, adhering to the growing demand for mobile communication.

In terms of connectivity, the Ericsson R380 was equipped with GSM technology, which was becoming the standard for mobile networks. It allowed users to enjoy clearer voice calls and better coverage compared to older technologies. Additionally, the phone supported GPRS, enabling users to access the internet and send data more efficiently, a significant leap forward for mobile users.

With a focus on personalization, the R380 allowed users to customize ringtones, wallpapers, and other settings to create a unique user experience. The phone's battery life was commendable for its time, providing extended usage between charges, which was crucial for mobile professionals.

Though it may seem basic by today’s standards, the Ericsson R380 represented a technological breakthrough in the early 2000s. Its integration of telephony and computing set the stage for the smartphones that would follow, showcasing a glimpse of the mobile future that consumers would come to expect. The legacy of the R380 continues to resonate, marking it as a pivotal player in the evolution of mobile technology.
