HOW TO INTEGRATE THE PHONE WITH WORK

HOW TO INTEGRATE THE PHONE WITH WORK

iPhone connects to Microsoft Exchange right out of the box. It supports Cisco IPSec VPN and WPA2 Enterprise with 802.1X authentication. And it makes quick work of configuration and enterprise-wide deployment. This is how easily iPhone fits into your enterprise environment.

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support.

If your office uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or 2007, iPhone 2.0 software allows you to wirelessly push company email, calendar events, and contacts to iPhone over a 128-bit encrypted SSL connection. With secure push email and over-the-air contacts and calendar features, users can stay up to date wherever they go. And thanks to the iPhone Multi-Touch display, they’ll find it easier to perform common tasks such as accepting meeting invitations and finding contacts in the company directory or Global Address List (GAL). IT administrators can securely manage any iPhone that contains confidential company information using remote wipe and enforced security and password policies. These device configuration and remote management capabilities allow IT departments to quickly and seamlessly deploy iPhone throughout their companies.

Enterprise-grade networking.

iPhone 2.0 software supports Cisco IPSec VPN to ensure the highest level of IP-based encryption for transmission of sensitive company information. Employees can authenticate via password, two-factor token, or digital certificate. iPhone also supports WPA2 Enterprise with 802.1X authentication — the standard for Wi-Fi network protection. These features help provide safe access to company information on iPhone.

I am a Businessman.. Is iphone for me??

I am a Businessman.. Is iphone for me??

The answer is yes and here are a few reasons:

  • Best email Service- a viewing experience unlike any other mobile device. Its rich HTML format means email looks and acts like email on your computer. With support for Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG, and now iWork, attachments can be viewed.
  • Safety and security: If in case you lose your iPhone the probability of someone else accessing the data is zero.
  • An up to the minute calendar: With its Multi-Touch interface, no other mobile calendar application is as intuitive or simple to use. Tap to accept or decline a meeting invitation. Tap again to see who’s attending, check scheduling conflicts, review the agenda, or add alerts. Color coding makes calendar entries easy to organize and view at a glance
  • More powerful contacts: Finding contacts on iPhone is as simple as scrolling through your contact list or using the search feature. Add or change a contact and it updates everywhere automatically. But what really makes Contacts ideal for business is its seamless integration with features such as Maps, Safari, and SMS
  • Desktop-class web browsing: iPhone uses Safari — the most advanced browser on a mobile device — and displays the web the way it was designed to be seen. With support for web standards, SSL, and Cisco IPSec VPN, iPhone delivers secure access to corporate intranets so users can access their company’s resources wherever they are.

Virtual Private Network VPN

iPhone and Virtual Private Networks

(VPN)

Secure access to private corporate networks is available on iPhone using the most

popular industry-standard VPN protocols. IPhone 2.0 software supports Cisco IPSec,

L2TP over IPSec and PPTP. If your organization supports one of these protocols, no

additional network configuration or third-party applications are required to connect

iPhone to your VPN

VPN Setup

• Because iPhone integrates with most existing VPN networks, minimal configuration

should be necessary to enable iPhone access to your network. The best way to prepare

for deployment is to ensure iPhone is compatible with your company’s existing VPN

protocols and authentication methods.

• Ensure compatibility of existing standards with your VPN concentrators. It’s also a

good idea to review the authentication path to your RADIUS or VPN authentication

server to ensure standards supported on iPhone are enabled within your existing

implementation.

• If you plan to use certificate-based authentication, ensure you have your public key

infrastructure configured to support device and user-based certificates with the corresponding key distribution process.

• Verify certificate format and authentication server compatibility. iPhone supports

PKCS1 (.cer,.crt, .der) and PKCS12 (.p12, .pfx).

• Check with your solution providers to confirm that your software and equipment

are up to date with the latest security patches and firmware.

Setup IMAP with iphone

iPhone and IMAP

With support for the IMAP mail protocol, iPhone can integrate with just about any mail server environment. If the server supports IMAP and is configured to require user authentication and SSL, iPhone provides a highly secure, standards-based approach to email deployment. In a typical deployment, iPhone establishes direct access to an IMAP-enabled server over port 993 and access to SMTP servers over port 587. These servers can be located within a DMZ sub network, behind a corporate firewall, or both. With SSL, iPhone supports 128-bit encryption and X.509 root certificates issued by the major certificate authorities. iPhone also supports strong authentication methods,

including industry-standard MD5 Challenge-Response and NTLMv2.

IMAP Network Setup

The IT or network administrator will need to complete these key steps to enable direct access from iPhone to an IMAP-enabled mail solution:

• Open port 993 to allow email to be received through the firewall. The proxy server must be set to IMAP over SSL. SSL ensures that mail is securely encrypted during wireless transmission.

• As a best practice and for additional security protection, install a digital certificate on the server from a trusted certificate authority (CA) such as VeriSign. Installing a certificate from a CA is an important step in ensuring that your proxy server is a trusted entity within your corporate infrastructure.

• Port 587, 465, or 25 must be opened to allow email to be sent from iPhone. iPhone automatically checks for port 587, then 465, and then 25. Port 587 is the most reliable secure port, because it requires user authentication. Port 25 is considered the least secure because it’s been around the longest and is subject to more attacks by hackers.

It’s also the port that some ISPs block by default to prevent spam

Iphone in Business

Iphone in Business

What makes iPhone a great business phone? Simple its the same features that make it a revolutionary mobile device. With iPhone 2.0 software, iPhone does even more for your enterprise. It supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, delivering push email, calendar, and contacts. In addition to it IPhone gives mobile users secure access to corporate resources with Cisco IPSec VPN and wireless network services with WPA2 Enterprise and 802.1X authentication.

Best email.

Email on iPhone offers a viewing experience unlike any other mobile device. Its rich HTML format means email looks and acts like email on your computer. With support for Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG, and now iWork, attachments can be viewed exactly as they were designed to be. Users can even zoom in on important information with the tap of a finger. And now that iPhone has built-in support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, users get all the benefits of push email.

Precise calendar.

With its Multi-Touch interface, no other mobile calendar application is as intuitive or simple to use. Tap to accept or decline a meeting invitation. Tap again to see who’s attending, check scheduling conflicts, review the agenda, or add alerts. Color coding makes calendar entries easy to organize and view at a glance. And push calendar and integrated support for time zones means users can stay up to date no matter where their business takes them

Contact Assembly.

Finding contacts on iPhone is as simple as scrolling through your contact list or using the search feature. Add or change a contact and it updates everywhere automatically. But what really makes Contacts ideal for business is its seamless integration with features such as Maps, Safari, and SMS. Find customer offices using Maps with GPS. Get directions and call directly from map listings to confirm. Add vCards received via email. Look up contacts faster with search support for companywide Global Address Lists (GAL).

Exchange ActiveSync Setup

Exchange ActiveSync Setup

Network configuration

• Check to ensure port 443 is open on the firewall. (Note: If your company allows

Outlook Web Access, port 443 is most likely already open on your firewall.)

• On the Front-End Server, verify that a server certificate is installed and enable SSL for the Exchange ActiveSync virtual directory (require basic SSL authentication).

• On the Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server, verify that a server

certificate is installed and update the public DNS to properly resolve incoming

connections.

• On the ISA Server, create a Web listener as well as an Exchange Web client access

publishing rule according to Microsoft documentation. This is a necessary step in enabling Exchange ActiveSync.

• For all firewalls and network appliances, set the Idle Session Timeout to 30 minutes (check your Microsoft Exchange documentation for alternative heartbeat and timeout intervals).

Exchange account setup

Exchange ActiveSync features are enabled by default for all mobile devices at the

organizational level on Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007.

• Enable Exchange ActiveSync for specific users/groups using the Active Directory

service. (For Exchange Server 2007, this is done in the Exchange Management Console under Recipient Configuration.)

• Configure mobile features, policies, and device security settings using the Exchange

System Manager. (For Exchange Server 2007, these features and settings are confi gured

in the Exchange Management Console.)

• If you are on Exchange Server 2003, download and install the Microsoft Exchange

ActiveSync Mobile Administration Web Tool, which is necessary for remote wipe.

(For Exchange Server 2007, remote wipe can be initiated from Outlook Web Access

or the Exchange Management Console.)

Device configuration for your server and iPhone

Device configuration for your server and iPhone

Deploying iPhone across an enterprise is easy with iPhone 2.0 software. Corporate passcode policies and settings can be set via Configuration Profiles created and distributed by your IT administrator. In addition, Configuration Profiles can be used to remotely configure your company’s VPN, email, and wireless network settings, making each iPhone secure and ready for business. Configuration Profiles can also be used to install certificates on iPhone for authentication to Cisco IPSec VPN servers, 802.1X-based wireless networks, Exchange servers, and other corporate services. For users, installing a Configuration Profile is as easy as tapping a secure web link or receiving an email with the Configuration Profile attached.

Configuration Profiles can be created easily using iPhone Configuration Utility, a stand-alone application for the desktop. This application can be downloaded from the apple support website.

Basic usage of iphone

BASIC HOW TO OF iPhone

Getting your contacts, calendars, music, videos, and photos onto iPhone is simple. You do it all on your Mac or PC using iTunes.

1. Download iTunes.

Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.itunes.com/uk/download.

2. Connect to your computer.

Connect iPhone to the USB port in your Mac or PC using the included cable.

3. Sync.

When iPhone is connected, iTunes opens and guides you through the next steps.Select what you’d like to sync in each of the tabs, then click Apply in the lower right corner. For tips on syncing, visit www.apple.com/

Button basics.

Double-click the Home button to go to phone Favorites. Double-click in sleep mode to bring up iPod controls.

SMS in Iphone

SMS on iPhone

SMS is one feature that the designers and programmers of iPhone did not pay much attention to. The common features are neglected and even the advance features fail to carry the phone to safety on comparative analysis. Lets see what we can and more importantly what we cant do with our messaging on iPhone.

One of the major drawbacks for iPhone is with the SMS facility and features. Even on an ordinary mobile it’s a simple process to forward the SMS but hats a basic functionality that iPhone doesn’t have. It tries a neat cover up act with a chat-style view and an intelligent Multi-Touch keyboard that predicts and suggests words as you type (dictionary), iPhone texts are smarter than any Smartphone. SMS messages appear on your iPhone as an ongoing chat, so it’s easy to pick up a conversation where you left off. You can scroll through conversations with a flick, or scroll to the top and tap the Call button to talk live. Another compensative feature is that you can text with speed and accuracy on the predictive Multi-Touch keyboard. As you type, iPhone suggests corrections. It also features a built-in dictionary and even learns words you use often. Iphone Saves time by sending an SMS message to more than one person at the same time, enabling you to add as many recipients as you want.

In Short, go for the bling but it sure lacks the thing!!!

IPhone Accelerometer Technology

I Phone Accelerometer Technology

I Phone is a breakthrough in mobile Industry. Besides boosting of other state-of- art technologies like 3G, GPS mapping and HTML coded, desktop level web and email support, I phone carves a niche in mobile universe using the accelerometer technology that senses motion and adjusts the screen in such a way that you get the best possible view. Consider an example, if you were holding a phone vertically and viewing a webpage, the screen had a vertical view, right? Now, when you rotate the phone, using the accelerometer technology, the phone detects the movement and consequently changes the display to fit the screen. This makes viewing and browsing websites a far superior experience than it previously was. The device inside iPhone makes use of three components: a silicon mass, a set of silicon springs, and an electrical current. The springs measure the position of the silicon mass using the electrical current. Rotating an iPhone causes a fluctuation in the electrical current passing through the silicon springs. The accelerometer registers these fluctuations and tells iPhone to adjust the display accordingly. This technology adds to the gaming edge that the I phone provides as many more gaming application like golf, Planks and Call of Duty become far more real.

To summarize, Accelerometer technology gives an edge to Apple I Phone through enhancing customer experience by improving the appearance and enhancing the quality of web exposure, it gives an edge to video playback and also makes gaming more real.

The intelligent iPhone keyboard with built-in dictionary predicts and suggests words as you type, making it fast and easy to write email. Receive and respond to work email fast on iPhone. New support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync gives you push email that arrives automatically.

Comparison of Apple I PHONE and Google Phone

Comparison of Apple I PHONE and Google Phone

The I Phone and Google phone excel in the basics. There are some problems though. The iPhone does not allow SMS forwarding in its handset. Also you need to join an exclusive Apple Club in which you cannot use Bluetooth to share files with other mobile brands. Frankly, that’s a bit annoying. Android (the name of Google’s software) though, has rectified these mistakes. In Addition, Androids design is open for all developers to experiment where as the iPhone is still a proprietary product. This makes Android more democratic. Both are business class gadgets. They both provide you with all you need to drive smoothly on the road to success.
