Antwort
The David.InfoCenter Pocket is a special version of the InfoCenter for the use on pocket computers running the operating system Windows Mobile 2003, Windows Mobile 5 and from David.zehn! with FeaturePack 04-Jun-2007 on Windows Mobile 6 (Professional and Classic version). For the installation, besides an appropriate pocket computer, a Windows workstation with Active Sync (as of version 3.7 u pto 4.5) is necessary. Additionally, it needs to be possible to connect the pocket computer to the workstation, for example with a docking station. The access to the David Server needs to be possible from this workstation.

Installation
Before starting the installation, please make sure that Active Sync as well as the David.InfoCenter PC have been installed on the workstation which is going to be used. The pocket computer needs to be online and connected to the workstation. Furthermore, please verify that you are logged in as the user whose personal archives are supposed to be transmitted to the pocket computer. Then start the David.InfoCenter at the workstation. A dialogue window opens and asks if the David.InfoCenter Pocket shall be installed. Confirm this dialog to start the installation routine. Alternatively, you can also start the installation procedure manually by executing the file SETUP.EXE from the directory »DAVID\CLIENTS\POCKETPC« at the David Server.

Please note that the use of the David.InfoCenter Pocket is only possible if the David WebBox is active. For the use of the WebBox, depending on the David version (system license), a license for the »Internet Access Module« or an Access PlusPack license needs to be entered into the license management in the David.Administrator (Win32 and Linux) resp. in the Service Layer (Novell). The use of David.InfoCenter Pocket is chargeable and requires registration with Tobit.Software. Billing occurs via Tobit.NET the customer forum of Tobit.Software. Further information for billing and a view of your personal account can be found in Tobit.NET at www.tobit.net.

In order to be able to work with the David.InfoCenter Pocket it is necessary to activate the Remote Access for your personal archives. If this has not been done already, the necessary data will be requested. In case of more than one David Servers in the network, a selective list enables you to choose the desired server. Finally, you have the possibility to define whether and with which key of the pocket computer a direct launch of the David.InfoCenter Pocket will be possible.

The domain which is entered in the David.Administrator under »Remote Access& Publishing -> Webbox -> Configure« on the »Domain« tab must also be entered in the David.InfoCenter Pocket.

Note about the use of the David.InfoCenter Pocket with David V8+
With David V8+ an Access Plus Pack is no longer necessary for the use of the David modules »Mail Access Servers«, »Discussion Server« and »WebBox«. These modules can be used without an additional license. Thus the use of the David.InfoCenter Pocket is possible without an additional license.
