With Device manager, you can manage settings, data,
and software on your device remotely.
You can connect to a server, and receive configuration
settings for your device. You may receive server profiles
and different configuration settings from your service
providers or company information management
department. Configuration settings may include
connection and other settings used by different
applications in your device. The available options may
vary.
The remote configuration connection is usually started
by the server when the device settings need to be
updated.
To create a new server profile, select Options >
Server profiles > Options > New server profile.
You may receive these settings from your service
provider in a configuration message. If not, define the
following:
•Server name — Enter a name for the configuration
server.
•Server ID — Enter the unique ID to identify the
configuration server.
•Server password — Enter a password to identify
your device to the server.
•Session mode — Select the preferred connection
type.
•Access point — Select the access point to use for
the connection, or create a new access point. You
can also choose to be asked for the access point
every time you start a connection. This setting is
available only if you have selected Internet as the
bearer type.
•Host address — Enter the web address of the
configuration server.
•Port — Enter the port number of the server.
•User name and Password — Enter your user ID and
password for the configuration server.
•Allow configuration — Select Yes to allow the
server to initiate a configuration session.
•Auto-accept all requests — Select Yes if you do
not want the server to ask for your confirmation
when it initiates a configuration session.
•Network authentication — Select whether to use
http authentication.
•Network user name and Network
password — Enter your user ID and password for
the http authentication. This setting is available
only if you have selected Network
authentication to be used.
To connect to the server and receive configuration
settings for your device, select Options > Start
configuration.
To view the configuration log of the selected profile,
select Options > View log.
To update the device software over the air, select
Options > Check for updates. The update does not
erase your settings. When you receive the update
package on your device, follow the instructions on the
display. Your device is restarted once the installation is
complete. Downloading software updates may involve
the transmission of large amounts of data (network
service). Make sure that the device battery has enough
power, or connect the charger before starting the
update.
