Device registration and activation is a required step for a messaging based synchronization environment. These two steps are dependent actions that make the device and the user that is associated with it, part of the Unwired Platform mobility system.
Device registration begins with the registration notice and device template you create once and then reuse in Sybase Control Center. The registration notifies users that they must identify themselves by pairing the user identity and device identity. The device template then sets up the device and makes it compatible for Unwired Platform messaging use. You can use as many templates as you required.
Once the registration notification is received, the user submits the information back to Unwired Server. This action creates a registration slot that gets occupied by the device upon device activation.
Once the device is activated, the process then opens the communication channel used to relay messages and events to the device. A user can create subscriptions which are then associated with the registered device.
