Turning your iPhone in to a hardcore business tool just got a lot easier - AccessMyLan is now available from the App Store!
With the iPhone application you can enter your username and password once and with one click of the icon you have access to your network based files and applications all displayed on your iPhone screen in a simple to use application. The download is free and can be done right from your iPhone by clicking here.
Users of the AccessMyLan Web Portal feature recently got some advanced features along with a significant user interface change for users of the service on iPhone.
New features found in this release include support for compression and the ability to stay logged in which make the service even more user friendly than before while maintaining the highest levels of security. The new login screen gives a simple option to “Stay logged in” which, when ticked, negates the requirement to enter a username and password every time the user accesses the portal.
The user interface has undergone some changes and iPhone users in particular will find a more streamlined experience both when managing their login and browsing file shares.
The AccessMyLan Web Portal continues to deliver real-time access to the information workers need - now with increased speed and functionality.
AT&T customers can now work smarter with two new AT&T Certified Solutions from AccessMyLan. Both services are available now with a 30 day free trial for AT&T customers and as with all AccessMyLan services they are easy to install and configure even if you are not an IT expert.
AccessMyLan for SmartPhone connects people to their files, applications and mail from directly from a handset ensuring that mobile staff have access to the most up-to-date information and key business applications such as CRM. Handsets supported include iPhone , Windows Mobile, Palm, Nokia and Blackberry.
AccessMyLan InstantAPN provides AT&T customers with a private network link between any mobile device on the AT&T network and their organization’s network. InstantAPN can address multiple customer requirements such as controlling Internet access on mobile devices, providing remote access for laptops and creating M2M networks for telemetery and monitoring applications. Any device with an AT&T SIM is supported allowing you to connect and control any mobile device.
Our extremely popular ActiveSync Tester tool is available as a free download from the Apple AppStore so you can now diagnose Exchange connectivity problems directly from your iPhone. The tool simulates an ActiveSync client so rather than just getting a generic ‘cannot connect‘ message, the tool will identify what is causing the problem and offer links to resolution of problems.
The tool can diagnose problems associated with
- DNS resolution
- Basic connectivity to the Exchange server
- Exchange server configuration
- User credentials and domain settings on iPhone
- Exchange server SSL and certificate problems
Due to limitations with the iPhone SDK, advanced certificate diagnosis is not possible on iPhone so I’d recommend using the Windows version of the ActiveSync Tester to get to the bottom of certificate problems.
The iPhone 3.0 software release is evolutionary rather than revolutionary with cut-and-paste being one of the major features added. Some commentators have drawn up lists of the best business features included in 3.0 including push notifications for applications. The iPhone since version 2.0 has always been a powerful business tool with Exchange support and Safari. The challenge has always been integrating iPhone so that people have access to their key information and applications while on the move.
At AccessMyLan we not only make the integration of iPhone with Exchange much easier, we also provide access to files and applications in the office. This takes the iPhone onto another step as the iPhone user can open files directly from a file server and access business applications such as CRM and Intranet from Safari.
