Setting up the NLINK Mobile Application on Android

Follow these steps to install the NLINK Mobile Application without using Mobile Device Management tools.

Prerequisites

NLINK Mobile is installed on an Android device and the Android device can connect to a wireless network.
NLINK Server is running and is accessible to the Android device.
Firewall on NLINK Host is setup to allow incoming requests for the ADC Port, (default port is 9812).

Step-by-Step Guide

From a browser on the device, enter the following URL to make sure the NLINK Server can be reached:
```
http://[NLINKHOST]:9812/adc5.html
```
where [NLINKHOST] is the name, or IP Address, of the machine where NLINK is installed and running.

The first step after installing NLINK Mobile is to setup device communication with the NLINK Server.

Start the NLINK Mobile application by selecting application NLINK Mobile
In the window that is displayed
1. For NLINK Host enter [NLINKHOST] which is the machine name, or IP Address, of the machine where NLINK is installed and running along with the port configured for ADC5. The default port is 9812.
2. For Password enter the NLINK Mobile administrator password as configured in your meta-database. The default value is “password” (all lower case).
Press the OK button.
Once the setup is successful, you will see the following logon window. Enter the credentials you normally use to logon to the NLINK ADC to SAP Solution. Depending on your authentication settings, it could be a Windows domain user id or a SAP logon user id.
Once the proper credentials are entered and authenticated, you should see your configured ADC menu.
Where applicable, the menu options are available under "Action Bar"→ "Action Overflow" in the top right corner.

If the devices loses connection to the network in the middle of posting, sometimes multiple messages are displayed. All the messages indicate a broken network connection.
