Many mobile devices can
take advantage of cellular
data networks.
As the user, you need to know how to enable and
disable this connectivity when necessary; otherwise,
additional data charges could be incurred.
All of the operating systems allow the enable/disable
function to be done from the settings area of the
operating system. Some mobile devices allow the
user to enable and disable cellular networks from
the Home screen. This varies by device and
manufacturer.

Bluetooth networking.
1) Enable Bluetooth.
2) Enable pairing.
3) Find device for pairing.
4) Enter the appropriate PIN code.
5) Test connectivity.
While there may be some differences in how you get to Bluetooth on
various mobile devices, the basic set up steps will remain the same.

– Email configuration.
» One advantage to mobile devices is the ability to send
and receive emails while on the go.
» As long as the user has an Internet connection, email is
possible.
– Configuration requirements
» SMTP is the protocol for sending emails.
» Know which protocol is necessary for receiving (i.e.,
POP3 or IMAP).
» Know the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the
email provider servers (the SMTP server and either the
POP3 or IMAP server).
» Know the proper ports and SSL settings to use; these will
be determined by the email provider.

Each operating system uses
its own method to
synchronize data. Refer to
the vendors for their specific
processes.
Any type of data can be synchronized across mobile
devices and their larger cousins.
Common types of data that gets synchronized
include: contacts, programs, email, photos, music
and videos.

– Synchronization.
» Provides protection against lost equipment by providing a
backup copy.
» Allows for the free movement of data and keeps it
current.
– Synchronization applications.
» Mobile device operating system providers have their own
apps for synchronization. One must be installed on the
PC. Follow the vendor’s instructions.
– Connection types for synchronization.
» Wireless or cellular: cloud synchronization.
» Wireless: synchronization across wireless networks.
» USB: wired synchronization.
» Bluetooth: not as common, but still an option for some.
» Infrared (IR): no longer a current method.

Many mobile devices are capable of using cellular networking. Many can
also connect to wireless networks. All should have Bluetooth connectivity
capabilities. Email configuration is dependent on the provider of the service.

for mobile.
Summary
Synchronizing data protects against loss of device and helps with the
movement of a data between sources. Almost any kind of data can be
synchronized. Each mobile device utilizes its own application to facilitate
the synchronization. It can occur in the cloud or over wireless, wired,
Bluetooth, or IR.
