Basic Configuration

The configuration settings that you will usually need to know include the APN (Access Point Name) that is used for connecting to GPRS/EDGE/UMTS. You may also need to know the IP address of a WAP proxy/gateway.

Configuring (Most) SonyEricsson Phones

In most SonyEricsson phones, the IM Client configuration can be found under the My Friends application on the mobile phone, under the menu option More/Accounts. The available configuration settings are:

Username - This setting should contain the name of the user account defined to the nAXIS IMP Server

Domain - This setting should be left blank.

Password - This setting should contain the password of the user account defined on the nAXIS IMP Server

Server - This setting should contain the HTTP URL for connecting to the nAXIS IMP Sever. For example, http://smoogle.com.pk:8083.

Internet Profile - This setting points to an existing internet profile configured on the mobile phone. use an appropriate profile that will facilitate connectivity to the HTTP URL of the nAXIS IMP Server.

Auto-Login - Set to yes if you want IM client to automatically startup and connect to the IM server when the mobile phone is powered on.

Allow Connection - This setting allow you to pecify weather the IM Client can be used when connected to any network, or if it should be used when connected to your home network operator. Specify home network in most cases to avoid unexpected, and often exorbiant, data roaming charges.

Some sonyericsson phones will have additional settings, such as Check Interval which specifies an interval in seconds for polling the IMP Server. Refer tp the documentation for your mobile phone for more information.

Configuring (Most) Nokia Series 60 Phones

For Nokia Series 60 (Symbian) phone, IM settings can be configured under the Chat or Presence applications. Select options and then settings to access the server settings configuration for the IM client
The server settings include the following settings.

Server Name - This is descriptive name for the server which is used only within the IM client for display purposes.

Access Point in Use - This specifies the internet access point (setting profile) that should be used for IM client connections. Use an appropriate profile that will facilitate connectivity to the HTTP URL of the nAXIS IMP server.

Web Address - This setting should contain the HTTP URL for connecting to the nAXIS IMP Server. for example, http://smoogle.com.pk:8083.

User ID - This setting should contain the name of the user account defined to the nAXIS IMP Server

Password - This setting should contain the password of the user account defined on the nAXIS IMP Server

Configuring (Most) Nokia Series 40 Phones

For Nokia Series 40 phone, IM settings can be configured under the selecting messages from the main menu. then select chat and connect.Settings

For these devices, it is difficult to select an existing configuration setting that is used by the mobile phone browser, and adapt it for use by IM Client. You may need to manually copy the settings that are used by the WAP browser on the phone by writing them on paper, and reentering them into th IM client settings.

When you edit the active caht and presence settings, the following settings are included:

Chat an dpresence service name - This is a descriptive name for the server which is used only within the IM Client for display purposes.

Homepage - This setting should contain the HTTP URL for connecting to the nAXIS IMP Server. for example, http://smoogle.com.pk:8083.

User ID - This setting should contain the name of the user account defined to the nAXIS IMP Server

Password - This setting should contain the password of the user account defined on the nAXIS IMP Server

Connection Settings - This opens another menu to define IP connectivity settings.

Setting's Name - This setting specifies whether or not connctions will be routed through a proxy. Enable this setting if you will be connecting to the nAXIS IMP Server vis proxy.

Primary Proxy & Secondary Proxy refer to the address(es) of the WAP or HTTP proxy server(s) through which you will be connecting. Enter the proxy information if required for your configurations.

Data Bearer specifies the data bearer thaht will be used for the connection (e.g GPRS, EDGE, UMTS)

Bearer Settings - This opens another menu to define settings specific to the selected Data Bearer, Typical settings on the sub menu include an APN and settings for username and password if they are required for connecting to the APN.

Configuring (Most) Motorola Phones (V80)

The IM Client on the Motorola V80 is not as sophisticated as the clients on the nokia and SonyEricsson phones. It is definately a first generation effort and is likely to improve the future phones. Once consideration to be aware of with the Motorola V80 is that it uses a text based version of the IM protocol to communicate with the nAXIS IMP Server. this results in considerable overhead, with typical transaction, including polling transactions, transmitting ten times as much data. This phone should definately only be used an IM client in envoirments where you have unlimited GPRS data subscription plan.

The configuration settings for the IM client can be found under the IM option of the main menu. Select offline settings, and ISP Setings to access the configuration settings.

GPRS APN - This specifies tha APN on the GPRS network that should be used for establishing IP connectivity for the IM client.

User Name - This setting should contain the name of the user account defined to the nAXIS IMP Server

Password - This setting should contain the password of the user account defined on the nAXIS IMP Server

IM Server- Unlike other phones, where the IMP Server is specified as an HTTP URL, this setting is split among 3 separate configuration settings on the phone. this setting should contain the IP address or DNS host name of the IMP Server.

IM Port - This setting should contain the HTTP Port Number of the nAXIS IMP Server.

Post URL - This setting is ignored by the now IMP Server. It is recommended to leave this setting blank, or specify /.

Secure Login - This setting specifies whether or not the password for the account is ever transmitted in the clear. Both available settings are supported by the nAXIS IMP Server.
