Oracle Calendar on Your Cell Phone or Smartphone

To use Oracle Calendar on your cell phone or Smartphone, you must have:

• SyncML software.
  
  • To find out if your phone already has SyncML, check the Applications list on your phone.
  • If your phone does not have SyncML, you will need to download and install SyncML (if there is no software for your phone on this web site, contact your phone service provider).
    
• A network connection. This could be an Internet connection through your phone service provider, or it could be a wireless Ethernet connection.
  
• If you are able to view web pages on your phone, you have a working network connection.
• If you are not sure that you can connect to the Internet, consult with your cell phone provider or your local technical support.

To access your Oracle Calendar account, you will need to enter the following information:

• For SyncML Server URL, enter https://calendar.cit.cornell.edu/ocas-bin/ocas.fcgi
• The paths to the different types of Oracle Calendar data need to be specified in the SyncML setup screen. The paths are:
• Contacts Server Path: ./Contacts
• Events Server Path: ./Calendar/Events
• Tasks Server Path: ./Calendar/Tasks
• Your UserID is your NetID
• Your password is the same password you use to login to Oracle Calendar from your computer
• You will also be required to select which information you would like synchronized

For detailed configuration information for your specific phone, consult Chapter 5 of the Oracle Calendar Resource Guide.

Note: If you are using a Sony Ericsson P800 or P900, refer to the detailed instructions in the Oracle Calendar Resource Guide; if these devices are not set up correctly, meetings might be shifted, duplicated or deleted.

The ILR School also has configuration instructions for some phone models.
