How is IBM Traveler for Windows™ tablet devices unique?
IBM 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 IBM Traveler using the Exchange ActiveSync protocol. Windows™ tablet devices support secure connections to the IBM 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 IBM Traveler server (for more information, see How do I configure an account for IBM Traveler on a Windows tablet device?).
