About Wireless Communication You should be aware that on a device that has wireless communication activated, it may be possible for unauthorized persons to use the wireless communication to access files on the device Compatibility between Releases Upgrading the Module in Pointsec Administration Console • Pointsec Mobile Smartphone (Windows Mobile) version 3.1.0 and later can co-exist on the Pointsec Administration Console with Pointsec for Smartphone (Windows Mobile 5) version 3.0.3 and earlier. However, because these two applications are separate products, you cannot upgrade the module in Pointsec Administration Console from Pointsec for Smartphone (Windows Mobile 5) to Pointsec Mobile Smartphone (Windows Mobile). Upgrading Pointsec Mobile Smartphone on Devices • It is not possible to upgrade to Pointsec for Smartphone 3.0 or later from a version earlier than 3.0. This is because Pointsec for Smartphone 3.0 and later is developed for devices running a different operating system than previously (Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6 Standard). • When upgrading the software on devices from 3.0.0 to version 3.2.4, you will need to deploy an update profile (.ppp) along with the .cab file on the device. This is not necessary when upgrading from version 3.0.1 or later. Compatibility with Other Programs • When synchronizing large amounts of PIM data from computer to device, we suggest that you perform the initial synchronization before installing Pointsec Mobile. Otherwise, the device may become unresponsive. This is due to CPU limitations when Pointsec Mobile is encrypting large amounts of data.
