Please log in for more thread options This link:

has more information on how to set up the Exchange end, so that you are
ready for the AKU2.0 devices.
Don't forget, for AKU2.0 and Push e-mail: Your Front End Server will need to
be running Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 - you do NOT need to upgrade all the
Back-end servers.
Also: Your ISA Server or other Firewall will need a timeout default of 1800
seconds (30 minutes) or so - the reason for this is that the Push Model
needs the SSL connection to stay open (but not using data) for >15 minutes.
Other than that, there is no other infrastructure set-up or on-going cost
required.
Before the AKU2.0 devices become available later this quarter:
- You can use Sync every 5 minutes. But if you don't get much e-mail it
will be setting up the sync connection many times without doing anything.
- You can make use of AUTD - Always Up To Date. This uses SMS messages to
send to the device telling it that there is new mail waiting, and the device
then does a Sync. If you receive lots of e-mail, this could be expensive on
SMS messages.
