Deploying
IBM® Sametime® consists of a variety of servers and clients, and can be deployed to suit many different environments. The deployment instructions are organized by feature set, beginning with the minimum components that are necessary to support instant messaging, and then expanding the deployment to include features such as audio and video support, and conferencing.
Deploying for mobile users
The Apple iOS client is distributed through the Apple App Store. The Android client is no longer available for download from the IBM® Sametime® Proxy Server. Customers with users who are unable to access the Google Play Store should contact IBM Support to request that a build be provided to them directly.
Helping mobile users get started with Sametime®
You can provide shortcuts that help mobile users get started with IBM® Sametime® without having to know server names or addresses.
Creating a Meeting Server configuration URL for mobile users
After configuring the first mobile device to connect to the Meeting Server, generate a configuration URL on the device. Distribute the URL through email or a link on an internal website to allow other mobile users to connect to the Meeting Server easily. Users only need to know their own credentials; they do not need to know anything about server addresses or ports.
