- Mail File Template Support
- Server Requirements
- Device Requirements
Domino Server Support
Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.2 must be installed on a Domino 8.5.2 Enterprise Server or Domino 8.5.2 Messaging Server. The xSP (Service Provider) configuration of Domino is not supported for any level of Domino Server.
Remote Mail Database Support
Lotus Notes Traveler server can connect to remote mail databases hosted by Domino 7.0.2 servers or above. The Domino remote mail server can be any operating system supported by Domino.
Mail File Template Support
Lotus Notes Traveler server supports standard and iNotes mail file templates, version 6.5 and above.
Server Hardware Requirements
| Feature |
Requirement |
| Disk Space |
Minimum of 500 MB of free disk space for database and log files. |
| Memory |
The Lotus Notes Traveler server requires a minimum of 512 MB of free RAM. This is in addition to the memory required by the IBM Lotus Domino server itself. As more Lotus Notes Traveler users are registered with the service, the memory needed will increase and it is not uncommon for the total virtual memory required for Lotus Notes Traveler and Domino to exceed 2 GB of RAM. Thus, while 32-bit operating systems are supported, 64-bit operating systems are strongly recommended for all deployments with a significant number of users. |
| Network Protocols |
Lotus Notes Traveler supports any network supported by a device that provides an HTTP/TCP or HTTPS/TCP connection between the device and the Lotus Notes Traveler server. Examples include: GSM, GPRS, 802.11x, and WiFi. In addition, Lotus Notes Traveler can utilize Short Messaging Service (SMS) for push notifications instead of HTTP/HTTPS. |

Device Hardware Requirements
| Feature |
Applicable OS |
Notes |
| Device Memory |
Nokia Series 60 3rd and 5th edition |
Lotus Notes Traveler for Nokia S60 client requires approximately 4 MB of free program file storage on the device to install Lotus Notes Traveler. File storage required for PIM and mail is not included in these estimates, varies widely, and depends on how much data is synchronized to the device. If it is necessary to collect traces or logs, up to 2 MB of additional program file storage may be need. If the installation file (SISX file) is manually downloaded to program file storage, it requires an additional 1 MB. This file can be deleted after installation. If mobile device security policies are in place or support for remote device wipe is needed, it may be necessary to install the Nokia security enablement library on the device. This library can be obtained from Nokia's IBM Lotus Notes Traveler site. |
| Device Memory |
Windows Mobile 6.0, 6.1, and 6.5 |
Lotus Notes Traveler for Windows Mobile client requires approximately 4 MB of free program file storage on the device to install Lotus Notes Traveler. File storage required for PIM and mail is not included in these estimates, varies widely, and depends on how much data is synchronized to the device. If it is necessary to collect traces or logs, up to 2 MB of additional program file storage may be needed. If the cabinet install file (CAB file) is manually downloaded to program file storage, it requires an additional 2 MB. This CAB file can be deleted after installation. |
| Device Memory |
Android |
Lotus Notes Traveler for Android client requires approximately 2 MB of free storage on the device to install Lotus Notes Traveler. File storage required for PIM and mail is not included in these estimates, varies widely, and depends on how much data is synchronized to the device. Note that during initial setup, you can choose to have some of the data stored on external storage. Trace and log storage required is dependent upon the configuration setting. The default value is 2 MB. |
