Important Notes
- It is not necessary to install this client package if upgrading a server from a previous version that contained the Nokia and WM clients. During upgrade, existing client software is not removed from the system.
- If running a Notes Traveler HA pool, it is only necessary to perform these steps on one of the servers in the pool. The clients will automatically be made available on all servers in the pool.
- It is not possible to remove the clients once installed without dropping the database. See Preventing Download section below for more details.
- To manager client levels or check if this version is already installed use the Client Manager feature of the Web Administration interface, generally found at:
http(s)://yourhostname/LotusTraveler.nsf/xClientSoftware.xsp
- For more information on managing client versions see the Client Manager documentation from the Administrating Notes Traveler section of the product documentation.
- For Client usage documentation and supported devices see the Usage Guide for Notes Traveler 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 2, which was the last release to ship these clients.

Preventing download of a cient
For compatibility reasons, you can not delete the default level of client from the Notes Traveler server, but you can disable the ability to download the client. To disable a particular client download you need to set a notes.ini parameter. A complete set of configurable
notes.ini parameters can be found in the
Product Documentation.
To prevent download of Nokia Symbian client set this parameter:
NTS_SERVLET_ALLOW_CLIENT_INSTALL_NOKIA=false
To prevent download of Windows Mobile client set this parameter:
NTS_SERVLET_ALLOW_CLIENT_INSTALL_WM=false
For more information on managing client levels be sure to review the
Client Manager documentation from the Administrating Notes Traveler section of the product documentation.
Blocking a device type from syncing
