Lotus Traveler for Nokia MANAGEMENT and REMOTE WIPE Step-By-Step instruction 

Many customers ask me, how to do REMOTE WIPE of stolen device in traveler, because all IT Security guys are very concerned about it.

In traveler 8.5, there is an additional database LotusTraveler.nsf located in root, which helps to manage remote devices.
In this View we see all the devices.


BTW, IT IS POSSIBLE to Lookup address book, don't know if it was in 8.0, but in 8.5, You can lookup, public address book,
that what many customers are asking. ;)

You can open record and see some valuable info like IMEI, if your phone is stolen you can block this IMEI and in this country nobody can use it,
may be only as alarm clock :D

I tested Traveler with my previous phone Nokia N80.

COOL, We can even wipe Storage card, and do HARD RESET, (kill address book).



This summer, I asked my blog readers to visit GOOGLE ADs banners, so I can buy Ducati Monster.
I have bought it, and when I ride it, on 185KM/h (115miles/h), lost my NOKIA E65, it jumped from my pocked (it Latvia we have special JUMPING NOKIA PHONES)  at that moment I was sorry, that I don't have option to do remote WIPE.



Ok, back to Traveler, We can remove Traveler, we can format Storage card, which is NICE, and also do HARD RESET. :)
Cool, Lotus People, You are Great!

It seems that not all devices supports this feature, but big companies has policy, which devices, to use, so for example,
if device does not support remote WIPE, you may not want to install Traveler on it :)

Vladislavs, this is VERY helpful, thanks for posting. I would point out that your very first screenshot doesn't show which view you're in because the left-side navigator is cut off.

Since you seem to have gotten pretty far down the road with Traveler (pun intended), I wonder did you have any issues with firewall ports? Any details on getting this configured on the server side would be helpful actually.

Oh, and I guess I should mention that I purchased a Nokia E71 unlocked here in that States and am trying to make it play nice with Traveler. I did get it working at one point and synced everything, but it stopped working and I'm not sure why.

My Traveler server is in my home office on a spare PC on a dynamic IP, and the mail server is hosted properly outside my office. Had some firewall and port config issues that I overcame at least in part. I can see the remote connection from the phone registering on the server but there is no syncing anymore :-(.

Well... Can't wait official release, of Domino 8.5 and Traveler 8.5. @Kevin, on What version You were testing? Beta 2? I think it will be fixed in final version. Traveler 8.0 had same problems, but after all fixpacks it worked fine.

I'm running the latest code drop from the private design partner beta, which also happens to be the only version ever installed on this machine. I'm thinking the problem is more with my firewall and port settings, complicated by port 80 blocking from my ISP. It DID work at one point so I'm hopeful I'll figure out what I broke and unbreak it :-).
