How to hard reset a Nokia Symbian S60 handset

To hard reset a Nokia Symbian Series 60 handset, erasing ALL USER DATA and restoring the device to a factory default state, do the following:

The phone will now be reset.

Microsoft release OCS client for Java handsets

Microsoft have released a version of the Office Communicator Mobile client software for Java-based handsets.

The client can be downloaded from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1FEEAB9B-02FC-4...
(for Nokia S60 240X320 resolution)

or from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=DCB3AE06-ED5F-4...
(for Nokia S60 320x240 resolution)

Or alternatively by browsing to http://www.getcomo.com in the device browser.

The client is downloaded as a ZIP file containing 2 files:

Unzip the files and copy them to your Nokia handset. Then simply browse to where you saved them using the built-in File Manager and click on the Jar file to install it.

Once installed, the client will appear in the Installations folder:

Microsoft release Office Communicator client for Java handsets

Launching the client for the first time will display the license agreement which you will need to read and accept to continue:

Microsoft release Office Communicator client for Java handsets

You will then be prompted to enter in your username details (in the form 'DOMAIN\Username'), your password (your Active Directory password, ie the same password you use to log into your PC or access your email via OWA) and the address of the Office Communicator Server (OCS) box:

Microsoft release Office Communicator client for Java handsets

You will then be prompted to enter a PIN number, of your choosing and known only to you, that you will be prompted to enter each time you launch the client to prevent unauthorised access to the software should someone inadvertently (or purposefully) get their hands on your phone:

Microsoft release Office Communicator client for Java handsets

Now you're all set. When logging in you will be prompted to allow the software to use your network connection and specify the access point to use:

Microsoft release Office Communicator client for Java handsets Microsoft release Office Communicator client for Java handsets

After a few moments you will hopefully be logged in.

It is important to note that this version of the client only supports the IM functionality rather than full-blown video-conferencing, and should you wish to connect to your company's OCS server then it will either need to be publicly available (ie, Internet-facing), or you will need to have established a VPN connection to the LAN by some other means before being able to contact the internal address of the server.

Setting up Mail For Exchange on the Nokia E52

The Mail For Exchange client on the E52 is similar in terms of functionality and the setup procedure to the E75. To add a new email account to the phone, open the menu from the home screen and select Email:

Nokia E52

The following screen will be displayed:

Nokia E52

Select New, the email wizard will be displayed:

Nokia E52

Click Start, the wizard will require access to the Internet in order to be able to attempt to determine account settings automatically and you will be prompted to select an access point to use:

Nokia E52

Select the access point, you will be prompted to enter your email address:

Nokia E52

and password:

Nokia E52

you may also be prompted again to select an access point to allow the wizard to connect to the Internet:

Nokia E52

You will then be prompted to confirm what sort of email account you wish to configure:

Nokia E52

Select Mail For Exchange. You will then be prompted for your username (this will be your Windows username, the same that you use to log into your PC if you have one):

Nokia E52

You will then be prompted to enter a Domain:

Nokia E52

Again this will usually be the same information that you use to log into your PC: when logging into Windows you usually enter a username, password and also have a 'log into' field - it is the contents of this field that needs to be entered.
You will then be prompted to enter the address of the Exchange Server:

Nokia E52

This will be the same address used to access Outlook Web Access, or webmail, usually in the form 'mail.domain.com'. Once all of this information has been entered the wizard will be completed:

Nokia E52

The Mail For Exchange client will then launch and again prompt you to confirm that the application should have access to the Internet:

Nokia E52

You can stop this confirmation message from being displayed by selecting the option to 'Accept and set use access point to automatically'.
The contents of your email Inbox will now be downloaded automatically. By default only your email will be set to synchronise: contacts, calendar and tasks folders must be enabled manually.
Return to the Email menu and select Settings:

Nokia E52

Select Personal Information Manager:

Nokia E52

Select Applications:

Nokia E52

The following screen will be displayed:

Nokia E52

Contacts, Calendar and Tasks folders can be enabled for synchronisation as required:

Nokia E52 Nokia E52 Nokia E52

Once synchronisation has completed (depending on the amount of contacts, calendar and mail items you have to be synchronised this process can take up to a few minutes before information is available), you will be able to browse your email folders and subfolders:

Nokia E52 Nokia E52

To edit settings once the initial setup has completed, select the Settings option from the menu within the Email application:

Nokia E52

The Mailbox settings view allows you to edit your mail server and login details:

Nokia E52

The What to sync view allows you to specify how far back into the past you wish to synchronise - note that this setting will be applied to all folders, including subfolders, therefore don't be surprised if some folders appear empty even though there is mail in them:

Nokia E52

The When to sync view allows you to specify between which hours synchronisation will be push-based, and outside of those hours how synchronisation should be handled (ie manually or on a schedule):

Nokia E52

The Global Settings view allows you to define display options:

Nokia E52

The Exchange GAL (Global Address List), or company address book, can be accessed from the Email screen:

Nokia E52


Certificates

If your Exchange server uses a self-issued, or 'non root-trusted' SSL certificate, then the corresponding root certificate of the CA (Certification Authority) that issued the certificate to the Exchange server will need to be installed onto the E52 manually before the phone will be able to connect to the Exchange server.
If you don't know whether your Exchange server is using a self-issued certificate or not, one way to check is to browse to the server's webmail address (normally in the form 'https://mail.domain.com') - if you receive a warning before being presented with the login screen along the lines of 'the security certificate used by this web site cannot be verified, do you want to continue anyway?', then the server's certificate is not root-trusted.

To install the certificate onto the phone, it will need to be exported from the CA first in '.DER' format, read this article for more information - http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/configuring-exchange-2003-activesync-usi...

Once you have the certificate file, it can be copied onto the phone either by connecting it to a PC via USB, or by downloading it via the browser from a suitable web server. This process is detailed in my guide on setting up the E71 - http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/setting-mail-exchange-nokia-e71

Setting up Google Sync on the Nokia E71

Google’s Sync service allows you to backup the contents of your Contacts folder from your Symbian S60 handset to Google’s servers, where you can access the information from any web browser with a connection to the Internet.

The system uses the SyncML protocol, and therefore does not require that any additional software be installed on the handset – you can simply use the Sync client already present on the device.

You will need an account with Google, but registration is free: browse to http://m.google.com/sync from your PC.

Setting up a Symbian handset

(NOTE – the precise menu locations will vary between handsets, in this example I used the Nokia E71)

Select Menu → Tools → Sync:

Setting up Mail For Exchange on the Nokia E71

Nokia’s marketing around the ability of their mobile phones to support Server ActiveSync-based Push Email when used in conjunction with a Microsoft Exchange 2003 SP2 or Exchange 2007 Server (in exactly the same way as a Windows Mobile device) has not been extensive – but they can!

All you need is the Nokia Mail for Exchange software, which is now preinstalled on the newer Nokia E Series range of handsets and enables push-based bi-directional synchronisation of Email, Contacts, Calendar and Task folders.

The software can also be downloaded from the Nokia For Business web site: http://www.businesssoftware.nokia.com/mail_for_exchange_downloads.php

The setup procedure is similar to Windows Mobile, and the same pre-requisites apply. If the Exchange Server has a ‘root-trusted’ certificate on it, then ignore the next few paragraphs, but if like me you like to save a few pennies here and there then read on.

I have written elsewhere about how to use a ‘self-signed’ certificate on the Exchange Server, thus saving a couple of grand every few years, but doing so does require a bit or work on both the server and client-side.

Read here about how to configure Exchange 2003 SP2 to use a self-signed certificate.

If you are using a self-issued certificate on the Exchange Server, rather than a purchased, root-trusted certificate, then you will need to install the corresponding client certificate on the Nokia handset before you will be able to synchronise with the Exchange Server.
This involves saving a copy of the certificate to the handset. The easiest way to do this is to connect the handset to a PC with the Nokia PC Suite software installed on it.
PC Suite is included on the CD that comes in the sales package with the Nokia handset, or can be downloaded from the Nokia web site. Once installed, connect the Nokia handset to the PC. Windows will detect the new hardware automatically and install the phone as a modem and a USB storage device.

The Nokia phone will also be added as a drive in Windows Explorer:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Copy and paste the certificate to a folder on the phone.
Once copied to the phone, on the handset itself, press the Menu button and browse to Office → File Manager. Browse to the folder where the certificate was saved to and select it.
You will be prompted to save the certificate, select Save.

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

You will be warned that the certificate may be insecure, select Save.

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

The label of the certificate authority will be displayed, select OK.

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

You will then be prompted to specify what service the certificate is securing (Internet, VPN, etc). Select Internet.
The certificate will now be saved to the device.

To set up the connection to the Exchange Server, select the option to Set Up Email from the Home Screen:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Select the option to Start Email Setup:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

The Email Setup Wizard will launch, select Next:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

You will be warned that the handset will need to connect to the Internet as part of the setup procedure, select Yes:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Enter your full email address:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

What you see at this point will depend on which version of the E71 firmware you are running. If you are prompted to specify whether you're setting up a POP/IMAP account or a corporate account, select "corporate". You will then be prompted to install the Mail for Exchange client, after which the setup procedure will resume.

Enter your password for your email account:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Enter your username for your email account:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Again, what you see now may vary between firmware versions. If you were not prompted to install mail for Exchange earlier, you will be now, but you may first get an error message:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

DON’T PANIC!

You will now be prompted to specify whether your email account is indeed a POP or IMAP account, or whether it is a Mail For Exchange account:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Select Mail For Exchange. You will be prompted to enter further account setting information:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Enter the Domain information for your Exchange mailbox (your network administrator will be able to provide this information if you don’t know – as a useful hint, if you log into Outlook Web Access with a username of ‘blabla\username’, it is the ‘blabla’ that need to go in this field.

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Enter the address of the Exchange Server. Again, your network administrator will be able to provide this information if you don’t know. As a useful hint, if you use Outlook Web Access via a web address of ‘https://mail.domain.com/exchange’, it is the ‘mail.domain.com’ that needs to go in this field.

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

You will now be prompted to install Mail For Exchange, which is held in the Phone’s memory, but not installed by default:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

You will be prompted to confirm the installation of the software:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

You will also be warned that once Mail For Exchange is installed, you should no longer use PC Suite to synchronise with Outlook locally on your PC:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

The software will then be installed:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Once complete, you will be prompted to define further settings governing synchronisation:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Specify which mailbox folders you want synchronised, and specify the ‘peak hours’ during which you want mail pushed to the handset:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

A New folder will now be added to the default Inbox, alongside Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts, etc for ‘Mail for Exchange’. Any mail in the Exchange mailbox (within the interval you specified in the push settings), will now be pushed automatically to the handset:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Enjoy Push Email functionality from now on!

If you want to edit any of the Mail For Exchange settings, press the Menu button and select the MfE folder:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

The following options will be displayed:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Selecting Mail for Exchange will display the same settings screen that was displayed earlier in the setup process:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E71

Selecting Sync Mode alows you to edit the Peak Hours during which you want mail pushed to the handset:

Setting up POP3 email on the Nokia E71

With the release of Nokia's Email Messaging service (http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/nokia-email-service), the default selection on the Nokia E series range of phones when setting up a new consumer POP / IMAP-based email account that the wizard recognises is to use this service. If you want to set up the account manually using incoming and outgoing mail servers that you specify yourself, the procedure is as follows.

From the main menu open the Messaging folder. Select the Options menu and select Settings:

Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71

Select Email. Press the Options menu again and select New Mailbox:

Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71

The Nokia Email wizard will launch and warn you that a connection to the Internet will be required:

Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71 Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71

You will be prompted for your full email address and password:

Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71 Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71

The wizard will connect to the Internet to determine the correct mailbox server settings to use and verify that the supplied username and password are valid. On the next screen, you will be prompted whether or not you want to use the Nokia Messaging service:

Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71

Select No. The email account will be created in the Messaging folder rather than the Nokia Email client application:

Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71 Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71

Select the entry for the email account to edit its properties:

Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71

Verify that the incoming email server settings are correct as specified by your email provider - the Nokia wizard should have correctly populated the settings for a wide range of email providers. The outgoing email server settings will most likely need changing, however. Select Connection Settings --> Outgoing e-mail:

Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71

The default outgoing mail server settings for your email provider will be displayed:

Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71

Depending on the email provider, you may need to edit the Outgoing mail server with the details of the SMTP server provided by your cellular service provider:

Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71

For the UK operators, the settings are as follows:

  • Vodafone - send.vodafone.net
  • Orange - smtp.orange.net
  • O2 - smtp.o2.co.uk
  • Three - smtp-mbb.three.co.uk
  • T-Mobile - smtp.t-email.co.uk

Edit the Outgoing email server as required. Scroll down and set the Security (Ports) entry to Off

Set the Port to Default

Setting up POP email on the Nokia E71

You should now be able to send and receive email successfully.

Setting up the Nokia E71 as a remote extension of a SIP PBX

Before the Nokia E series handsets can be used as remote extensions, there are a number of pre-requisites that need to be satisfied on the server:

The SIPtrix server must have a ‘real world’, ‘routable’, ‘public’, or ‘Internet-facing’ IP address that is available from the Internet. Without this, no remote connectivity will be possible.
If the SIPtix server is behind a firewall, then UDP port 5060 should be allowed through to the server from the Internet, for SIP signalling traffic. The UDP port range 10000 to 20000 must also be allowed through for RTP traffic (the ‘media’ of the telephone conversation).

The SIPtrix server must also be ‘made aware’ of its own external IP address as well as the local network on which it sits:
Log into the admin interface for the server via the web interface and browse to Tools → Config Edit. Locate the ‘sip_nat.conf’ file and add the following lines:

nat=yes
externip=81.138.13.178
localnet=10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0

(you will need to substitute the above IP details for the configuration of your own external and internal network addressing scheme).

Once these pre-requisites have been satisfied, you must now create an extension on the system for the phone to register as.

Within the admin interface, add an extension in the correct number range (1xx would be suitable for remote extensions to identify them as such and separate them from the 2xx internal extensions).
Set the Outbound CID number to match that of the person’s desk extension.
Set the secret to password or something suitable.
Set the NAT field to ‘yes’
Disable voicemail.

Setting up the Nokia E71 as a remote extension of a SIP PBX

(Optional)
Create a ring group and add the person’s desk extension and the E series handset as members. Set the Inbound route for the person’s DDI to point to the ring group.
Set the ring strategy to ring all.

Submit and Apply the changes.

Now we are ready to configure the Nokia handset.

If the wireless access point the handset is connecting to is locked down by MAC address, then it will need to be configured to allow the handset to connect to it.

MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique hexadecimal address that is assigned to all networking equipment. To ascertain the MAC address of the Nokia handset, issue the following code on the handset keypad itself:

*#62209526#

The MAC address will be returned:

Setting up the Nokia E71 as a remote extension of a SIP PBX

On the handset, press the menu button. Select Tools and then Settings.
Select Connection
Select Access Points
Select Options and then New Access Point
Enter a name for the connection, the name of the wireless access point would be a sensible name to use
Set the Data Bearer to Wireless LAN

Return to the Connections menu and select SIP Settings
Select Options → New SIP Profile → Use default profile
Enter a name for the profile, again the name of the access point would be sensible.

Set Service Profile to IETF
Set Default Access to the Access Point you configured earlier
Set Public user name to sip:1xx@10.0.0.100 (where 1xx is the 3-digit extension, and the IP address is the internal IP address of the SIPtrix server)
Set Use compression to No
Set Registration to Always on
Set Use security to No

Select Proxy Server

Set Proxy server address to sip:81.138.13.178 (where the IP address is the external IP address of the SIPtrix server)
Set Realm to asterisk
Set User name to 1xx (where 1xx is the 3-digit extension)
Set Password to (the password you defined in the properties of the extension within the SIPtrix admin interface)
Set Allow loose routing to Yes
Set Transport type to UDP
Set Port to 5060

Select Registrar Server

Set Registrar server addr. to sip:asterisk
Set Realm to None
Set User name to None
Set Password to None
Set Transport type to UDP
Set Port to 5060

Return to the Connection menu
Select Internet tel. settings
Create a new profile
Enter a name for the profile, the name of the access point will do
Set the SIP profile to name of the profile you created earlier

Return to the Settings menu
Select Phone and then Call
Set Default call type to Internet Call

Return to the home screen
Power the handset off and on again.

When the handset powers back on, it will register with the wireless access point and then with the remote SIPtrix server. Any calls made from the handset will appear to the recipient as coming from the DDI of that user’s desk phone.

You will know if the handset is registered in Internet Call mode, as there will be an icon of a handset and a globe in the top right hand corner of the display:

ADDENDUM - if you are running firmware version 300.x.x or later on the E71, the instructions are slightly different.
To locate the firmware version on the E71 simply enter *#0000# on the keypad.
Later firmware versions cause the device to be detected as a USB Storage Device by both PC and Mac if the phone is set to 'Connect PC to Web' mode. Whilst this works fine on PCs, it does not on the Mac - the software stored on the virtual USB storage device being only intended for the Windows platform. Instead set the E71 to PC Suite mode - this will cause the phone to be recognised correctly as a modem.
To adjust the USB mode, browse to Menu --> Connectivity --> USB

Provided that your SIM card is enabled for GPRS / 3G Internet access with your provider, then you can use the Nokia E71 as a modem to connect to the Internet from your PC via the USB cable.

The necessary modem drivers for the phone are installed automatically as part of the Nokia PC Suite installation. If you have not installed PC from the CD in the sales package, DO NOT connect the phone via the USB cable until you have first installed the software. (Well, you can do, it's not the end of the world, but Windows may install the device as an 'Unknown Device' and not recognise it correctly until you manually remove the associated entries from the Windows Registry allowing Windows to re-detect it as a new device).

Once the software has been installed, you can then connect the Phone to the PC. The Phone will prompt you whether you want to connect in PC Suite mode or USB Storage mode. Select PC Suite mode.

Provided that the device is installed correctly, when connected it will appear as a modem in the Device Manager:

Using the Nokia E71 as a USB modem with Windows XP

Before you can connect to the Internet, you will first need to configure the GPRS/3G settings to use. To do this, open the Windows Control Panel and double click on the icon for Phone and Modem Options.

Click on the Modems tab, a list of available modems will be displayed:

Using the Nokia E71 as a USB modem with Windows XP

Select the Nokia modem from the list and click on the Properties button.

click on the Advanced tab, the following screen will be displayed:

T-Mobile - at+cgdcont=1,"IP","general.t-mobile.uk"

Three - at+cgdcont=1,"IP","three.co.uk"

So, for example, setting up a connection to Vodafone would require the following string:

Using the Nokia E71 with iSync on MacOS X

iSync does not support the E series natively, but there are free plugins that can be downloaded from the Nokia web site here:

http://europe.nokia.com/mac

or more specifically for the E71, here:

http://europe.nokia.com/A4299040

Download the DMG package and mount it, then run the PKG file inside. This will add the plugin for the E71 into the Library.

If iSync is running, it does not have to be closed to install the plugin, but you will have to close and re-open the application before you will be able to use it.

Within iSync , select the option to Add a Device (ensure that Bluetooth is enabled both on the Mac and on the E71). You will be prompted on the E71 to accept the Bluetooth connection and to enter a PIN code for the connection (this can be anything you like).

You will then be prompted to enter the same PIN code on the Mac. Once connected, the E71 will be listed:

Nokia E75

Setting up Mail For Exchange on the Nokia E75

The Mail for Exchange client on the Nokia E75 is much improved over previous versions, providing support for email subfolders, the ability to sort messages by size, date, sender, priority, etc as well as searching for contacts when composing new messages.

Setting up the Exchange Account

From the Home screen select the option to Set up e-mail:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

Or select the Email icon from the main menu. The Email setup wizard will launch:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

Enter your email address. NOTE - at this point if I entered my email address the wizard failed with an error of 'unable to continue'. I therefore opted for a fictitious email address:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

Normally the wizard should then prompt you to specify which type of email account you wish to configure:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

Select the option to create a Corporate account:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

Select the option to use Mail for Exchange:

Scroll down:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

Enter the name of the Exchange Server. If your server requires an SSL connection, leave the option for 'Secure Login' enabled. Again if you don't know the correct settings to use your network administrator will be able to tell you - or alternatively just try it as there are only two possible options!

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

Select what information you wish to synchronise: Email only, or Email and PIM folders (Contacts, Calendar, Tasks)

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

Specify how the initial synchronisation of data should be handled - if the phone is currently blank then select the option to Replace

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

The setup is now complete. The Mail for Exchange application will now connect to the Exchange server and download the contents of your mailbox based on the settings you defined.

NOTE - at this point, if your Exchange server uses a self-issued SSL certificate rather than a root-trusted one, then the connection may fail if you have not first copied the corresponding root certificate onto the device. For information on configuring Exchange 2003 with a self-issued certificate read this article - http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/configuring-exchange-2003-activesync-usi...

Provided that all went according to plan, you should now see the contents of your Exchange Inbox in the Messaging application on the phone:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

The first thing you notice is that the client has been re-worked quite extensively, being quite reminiscent (to my mind anyway) of the former Nokia Intellisync client for Symbian. A drop-down menu is available which allows you to toggle between frequently-used folders:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

Or view the entire folder structure of your mailbox:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia E75

Editing the settings of the email profile once the initial setup has been completed allows for further configuration:

Bootnote - if like me you have to specify a spurious email address in order to proceed through the wizard, once the setup has completed be sure to edit the email address to the correct one within the settings.

Setting up the Nokia E75 as a remote extension of a SIP PBX

The Nokia E75 has a SIP-based Voice over IP (VoIP) client built-in, meaning that the handset can make and receive calls over the Internet provided that the SIP PBX can be configured to support the device.

In this post I shall be using SIPtrix, the Asterisk-based Linux PBX server. There are a number of pre-requisites that need to be satisfied on the server:

The SIPtrix server must have a ‘real world’, ‘routable’, ‘public’, or ‘Internet-facing’ IP address that is available from the Internet. Without this, no remote connectivity will be possible.
If the SIPtix server is behind a firewall, then UDP port 5060 should be allowed through to the server from the Internet, for SIP signalling traffic. The UDP port range 10000 to 20000 must also be allowed through for RTP traffic (the ‘media’ of the telephone conversation).

The SIPtrix server must also be ‘made aware’ of its own external IP address as well as the local network on which it sits:
Log into the admin interface for the server via the web interface and browse to Tools → Config Edit. Locate the ‘sip_nat.conf’ file and add the following lines:

nat=yes
externip=81.138.13.178
localnet=10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0

(you will need to substitute the above IP details for the configuration of your own external and internal network addressing scheme).

Once these pre-requisites have been satisfied, you must now create an extension on the system for the phone to register as.

Within the admin interface, add an extension in the correct number range (1xx would be suitable for remote extensions to identify them as such and separate them from the 2xx internal extensions).
Set the Outbound CID number to match that of the person’s desk extension.
Set the secret to password or something suitable.
Set the NAT field to ‘yes’
Disable voicemail.

Setting up the Nokia E75 as a remote extension of a SIP PBX

(Optional)
Create a ring group and add the person’s desk extension and the E series handset as members. Set the Inbound route for the person’s DDI to point to the ring group.
Set the ring strategy to ring all.

Submit and Apply the changes.

Now we are ready to configure the Nokia handset.

If the wireless access point the handset is connecting to is locked down by MAC address, then it will need to be configured to allow the handset to connect to it.

MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique hexadecimal address that is assigned to all networking equipment. To ascertain the MAC address of the Nokia handset, issue the following code on the handset keypad itself:

*#62209526#

The MAC address will be returned.

To configure the SIP settings on the phone:

  • On the handset, press the menu button. Select Control Panel and then Settings.
  • Select Connection
  • Select Destinations
  • Select Access Point
  • Select the option to Automatically check for available access points
  • Select the desired wireless access point you wish to connect to
  • Complete the required security settings as required
  • Save the new access point to the Intranet Destination
  • Return to the Connections menu and select SIP Settings
  • Select Options → New SIP Profile → Use default profile
  • Enter a name for the profile
  • Set Service Profile to IETF
  • Set Default Destination to Intranet
  • Set Public user name to sip:1xx@10.0.0.100 (where 1xx is the 3-digit extension, and the IP address is the internal IP address of the SIPtrix server)
  • Set Use compression to No
  • Set Registration to Always on
  • Set Use security to No
  • Select Proxy Server
  • Set Proxy server address to sip:81.138.13.178 (where the IP address is the external IP address of the SIPtrix server)
  • Set Realm to asterisk
  • Set User name to 1xx (where 1xx is the 3-digit extension)
  • Set Password to (the password you defined in the properties of the extension within the SIPtrix admin interface)
  • Set Allow loose routing to Yes
  • Set Transport type to UDP
  • Set Port to 5060
  • Select Registrar Server
  • Set Registrar server addr. to sip:asterisk
  • Set Realm to None
  • Set User name to None
  • Set Password to None
  • Set Transport type to UDP
  • Set Port to 5060

Return to the Control Panel and select Net Settings
If you don't see a menu icon for Advanced VoIP settings, you will need to download an additional component from the Nokia Forum web site:

http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/105455c9-654b-427f-99c7-...

Registration is required for access to this web site.

This component is required to enable you to enable the "Internet Telephony" mode on the phone.
Once installed, you will see a new option in the Net Settings menu for Advanced VoIP Settings:

Setting up the Nokia E75 as a remote SIP extension

Select VoIP Services:

Setting up the Nokia E75 as a remote SIP extension

Select VoIP Settings --> Used SIP Profiles and enable the SIP Profile you created earlier.
Return to the Net Settings menu and select Provider sett.
Set Default Service to Yes.

Return to the home screen
Power the handset off and on again.

When the handset powers back on, it will register with the wireless access point and then with the remote SIPtrix server. You will know if the handset is registered in Internet Call mode, as there will be an icon of a handset and a globe in the top right hand corner of the display:

Setting up the Nokia E75 as a remote SIP extension

Any calls made from the handset will appear to the recipient as coming from the DDI of that user’s desk phone. When placing a call from the phone, you will have the option of placing a Net Call:

Nokia Enterprise Configuration Tool

The Nokia Configuration Tool is a free application available on the Nokia Business Software web site: http://www.businesssoftware.nokia.com/nokia_configuration_tool_downloads...

Nokia Configuration Tool

The tool, which requires that the Nokia PC Suite application be installed beforehand, allows the administrator to create XML-based template files defining such settings as:

Nokia Configuration Tool

Certificates can be installed onto devices via the tool as well as specific files and applications.
Individual templates can be created for a variety of supported Nokia phones, including:

Once saved, the template file can be deployed to any number of handsets via the PC Suite application via IR, Bluetooth or USB. The settings are then applied to the handset using the standard OMA-DM protocol.
Templates can be created by reading the configuration of a connected handset and editing that configuration.

Nokia Mail for Exchange 3.0

Nokia Mail for Exchange 3.0

Nokia have published an updated Mail for Exchange client to the OVI Store, freely available for download on compatible handsets.
To check whether your device is supported, view the Ovi web site - http://store.ovi.com/content/5919

The updated client can be downloaded quickly and easily by searching for Mail for Exchange in the device's built-in Ovi Store client application:

Nokia Mail for Exchange 3.0 Nokia Mail for Exchange 3.0

Nokia Mail for Exchange 3.0

On the E71 specifically, the updated client provides the ability to synchronise all mailbox folders, rather than just the Inbox, including Sent Items and subfolders of mailbox folders:

Nokia Mail for Exchange 3.0 Nokia Mail for Exchange 3.0

Folders must be 'subscribed to' before their contents will be downloaded:

Nokia Mail for Exchange 3.0

And global mail delivery settings still apply - therefore if you have selected to synchronise email back to 2 weeks in the past, only the last fortnight's worth of mail will be displayed in subscribed folders.

Nokia Messaging (Nokia Email Service)

Nokia Messaging is the new name for the Nokia Email Service which has been available in Beta stage for a while now.
The service essentially involves installing an email client application onto your Nokia phone which enables 'push-style' functionality on up to 10 POP or IMAP email accounts (such as GMail, Tiscali, Demon, etc).

"Under the hood", the email application uses the same engine that the now retired Intellisync solution used, so you also have advanced email synchronisation options including the ability to:

Supported phones currently include all of the Nokia E and N series as well as the Xpress Music phones.

The client application can be downloaded from the Nokia Messaging web site (https://netac4.vie.hosting.nokia.com/account/home.action) or is now preinstalled on most newer firmware revisions.

If the software is preinstalled on your device, when creating a new email account within Messaging --> Settings --> Email --> New Mailbox, you will have a option for the Nokia Email Service:

Nokia Email

The resulting wizard will simply ask you for your email address and password, then determine the correct settings to use automatically:

Nokia Email

The software will need a connection to the Internet to be able to download the correct settings to use. Once the set up is complete, your mailbox(es) can be accessed via the Nokia Email application, which is a separate application from the standard Nokia email client:

Nokia Email Nokia Email

Additional mailboxes can be added by selecting the option to Add Mailbox and repeating the same procedure.
For those of you who used the Intellisync product for the Symbian platform, the Settings screens will look familiar:

Nokia Email Nokia Email

Nokia Email Nokia Email

Indeed, once installed, the Nokia Email Service application is listed in the running programs as 'Intellisync':

Nokia Email

The Nokia Email service is free to try for a trial period - you will still be charged by your operator for the data involved in delivering emails to your phone. Once the trial period is finished and you wish to continue to use the service, you will need to pay for it. Watch this space for pricing information.

Nokia N97

Setting up Mail For Exchange on the Nokia N97

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

The N97 has the Nokia Mail For Exchange client built in, so there is no need to download it from the Nokia web site (indeed at the time of writing the N97 is not listed because of this).

The client is the same as that used by the E71, providing the ability to synchronise your Inbox, Contacts, Calendar and Tasks folders as well as setting your out of office status.

Prerequisites

If your Exchange server uses a self-issued SSL certificate rather than a 'root-trusted' certificate, then the root certificate of the CA (Certification Authority) that issued the certificate to the Exchange server will need to be installed on the Nokia N97 before the client will be able to connect to the Exchange server successfully.
For information on how to configure Exchange and export the certificate, read this article - http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/configuring-exchange-2003-activesync-usi.... Note, this guide applies to Exchange 2003 only.

Configuring the Exchange account on the N97

Launch the Messaging application from the main menu:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Open the Settings menu and select Email Settings:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

If no mailbox is defined, you will be prompted to create one automatically:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Select Yes. The Email Wizard will launch automatically:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Select Start. You will be prompted to sign up for a Nokia OVI email account:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Select the option to use your own email address and click OK:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Enter your email address and click OK:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Enter your password and click OK. The wizard will now attempt to determine the type of email account based on the email address entered. If it cannot determine the settings automatically, you will be prompted to define the account type:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Select Mail For Exchange and click Select:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Enter your username (the same username that you use to log into your Windows PC) and click OK:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Enter your Domain - this will be the same information that you use to log into your PC, if you don't know this information you will need to contact your network administrator. Click OK:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Enter the address of the email server - this is normally the same address that you use to access your webmail. Again, if you do not know this information, you will need to speak to your network administrator. Click OK:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

You will then be prompted to confirm the installation of the Mail For Exchange software. Select OK. The application will now be installed. Once complete, the client will automatically connect to the Exchange server and download your email messages:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

By default, only email is synchronised. You can now edit the MfE profile and optionally select Contacts, Calendar and Tasks folders.

NOTE - on my N97 the handset automatically configured two 'Internet' access points: one for my provider's Internet service and one for the WAP service. The WAP service was set as the default service and this caused the Mail for Exchange connection to the Exchange server to fail. I therefore had to set the Internet service as the default connection. It is not possible to do this within the MfE client, as this version of Symbian groups access points by 'Destination' rather than by specific access point. Instead, within the Settings menu browse to Settings --> Connectivity --> Destinations:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Select Internet:

Setting up Mail for Exchange on the Nokia N97

Select the access point, then browse to Options --> Organise --> Change Priority and move the re-order the access points as required so that the Internet access point is set to a higher priority than the WAP service.

Nokia Software Updater for Mac (Beta)

Nokia Software Updater for Mac (Beta)

On their Beta Labs web site, Nokia have posted a version of their phone software updater tool for Mac. Still in beta stage, the tool is free to download here - http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-software-updater-for-mac

The tool is only compatible with MacOS Snow Leopard (10.6) and only with the following phones currently:

Once installed the software does pretty much what it sounds like: it will check for, download and install new device software and applications onto your supported Nokia device. Windows users have long had this capability, but Mac users have either had to find a Windows machine to use, or download updates over the air.

Nokia Software Updater for Mac (Beta)

The software can be configured to automatically check for updates on a schedule:
