Use Sybase Control Center to trigger the registration and device activation process, which allows messaging mobile business objects (MBOs) to handle messages belonging to different data sources.
Note: When using a Windows Mobile emulator to register a device in Sybase Control Center, the device ID changes each time you reinstall the device. Before reinstalling, you must delete the original device from Unwired Server. Then, reregister the device. Otherwise, the device log shows a Wrong Device for Code error when the device attempts to connect after registration. This problem occurs only with Windows Mobile emulator devices.
- In the left navigation pane, click the Device Users node.
- In the right administration pane, click the Devices tab.
- Click Register to register a new device, or Reregister to update the device used of an existing device user.
- In the Register Device or the Reregister Device dialog:
- For new device registrations only, type the name of the user that will activate and register the device. For reregistrations or clones, the same name is used and cannot be changed.
- Select the name of the template for initial device registration. If you have not created any templates, only Default appears in the list.
The template you choose supplies initial values in the subsequent device activation fields.
- Change the default activation field values for the template you have chosen. If you are using the default template, you must provide the server name, which is empty.
These values are available in the General tab of the Cluster node.
- Server name – the DNS name or IP address of the primary Unwired Server, such as "myserver.mycompany.com". If using Relay Server, the server name is the IP address or fully qualified name of the Relay Server host.
- Port – the port used for messaging connections between the device and Unwired Server. If using Relay Server, this is the Relay Server port. Default: 5001.
- Farm ID – a string associated with the Relay Server farm ID. Can contain only letters A – Z (uppercase or lowercase), numbers 0 – 9, or a combination of both. Default: 0.
Note: If the device uses Relay Server to connect to Unwired Server, the farm ID should be the name of the Unwired Server farm configured in the Relay Server for messaging-based synchronization applications. If the device connects to Unwired Server directly, the farm ID should be 0.
- Activation code length – the number of characters in the activation code. If you are reregistering or cloning a device, this value cannot be changed.
- Activation expiration – the number of hours the activation code is valid.
- (Optional) Select the check box adjacent to Activation Code to enter the code sent to the user in the activation e-mail. This value can contain letters A – Z (uppercase or lowercase), numbers 0 – 9, or a combination of both. Acceptable range: 1 to 10 characters.
If the activation code is automatically generated, the code for the device can be retrieved from the Connections group of the Device Properties dialog
- Click OK.
