Messaging devices contain applications that send and receive data through messaging. An administrator must configure the device activation template properties for message-based synchronization (MBS) devices. Device activation requires user registration. Upon successful registration, the device is activated and set up with the template the administrator has selected.
Device registration pairs a user and a device once the user supplies the correct activation code. This information is stored in the messaging database, which contains extensive information about users and their corresponding mobile devices.
