How is HCL Traveler for Windows™ tablet devices unique?

HCL Traveler functions differently on Windows™ tablet devices than it does on others.

There is no client software required. Supported mail, calendar, and contacts applications connect to HCL Traveler using the Exchange ActiveSync protocol. Windows™ tablet devices support secure connections to the HCL Traveler server using SSL or VPN connections. Although there is no client software to install, you must create a Microsoft™ Exchange ActiveSync account on your device for mail, calendar, and contacts before you can connect to the HCL Traveler server (for more information, see How do I configure an account for HCL Traveler on a Windows tablet device?).

HCL Traveler supports the following capabilities for Windows™ tablets:
