Best Practices

 <  Day Day Up  >  

The following are best practices from this chapter:

  • When evaluating the functions of mobile connectivity, download the emulators for Pocket PC, Smartphone, and Web-enabled mobile phone instead of buying physical devices.

  • When testing mobile connectivity, test connectivity internally to a network before testing it externally to minimize any firewall, router, or external communication challenges that might prevent successful communication with an Exchange 2003 server.

  • Always use SSL encryption when establishing connectivity between mobile devices and Exchange 2003.

  • If you have a choice, get the Pocket PC 2003 version of a device instead of the Pocket PC 2002 version to provide Exchange Server “initiated updates and communications with remote devices as opposed to relying on device-initiated downloads and synchronization.

  • Although Pocket PC devices store information in non-volatile memory, sometimes when a Pocket PC device's battery is completely drained and the device is left uncharged for a period of time, it loses information. Therefore, keep the device charged ”or at least make sure to synchronize the device to keep an active copy of all information up on Exchange.
