Installation Instructions

First, remove the old build of Aton Connect from the phone before installing the new build.  This can be accomplished through ActiveSync, or using the Remove Programs icon in the Start | Settings | System tab.

Removing the old build will not erase the settings in the Registry. During the installation of the new build, the phone will ask the question:

“Replace existing Aton Connect profiles and settings with defaults?”

Answer “No” to retain the profiles and settings you already use.

That’s it!

Using Keyboard Shortcuts and Macros

For Windows Mobile phones that have a built-in keyboard, keyboard shortcuts offer a way to access specific function keys very rapidly. Creating macros of frequently used strings of keystrokes allows you to automate access to a particular enterprise server screen to get the information you need faster.
