We thought it timely to remind all users who have a smartphone on the TSA mobile plan that one of the good applications to load on your smart phone is Lotus Traveler. We do have a tip sheet with some brief instructions on how to load it, but to assist you we have provided below the steps you need to follow to get this operational:
- Open the internet browser on your phone.
- In the address bar enter type “traveler.sarmy.net.nz”.
- Use your lotus notes logon (e.g. FirstName [space] LastName, i.e. ‘Joe Blogg’) and then your current lotus notes password.
- Then select ‘Sign In’.
- On next screen, select ‘Configure your Android’. A download of Lotus Traveler should begin downloading.
- Once download is complete, select it to install it. Depending on your current settings your phone may get this message “Install Blocked: For Security your device is to block installation of applications not obtained from Google Play.”
- Go to settings and then tick the box to allow unknown sources of apps to install.
- On the following screens simply select ‘Next’, then select ‘Install’, then select ‘Open’, and lastly ‘Accept’
- Enter your Lotus Notes Credentials First Name – Last Name and pass word and click next.
- Select Activate
- Choose between your phones internal or removable memory and then select finish.
- Select Ok in the next screen. Your phone will now sync with the server and set itself with your data. This may take a few minutes.
As with your normal Lotus Notes account you have to change your password every 90 days / 3 months. Every time you change your Lotus Notes password you also need to change the password on your mobile phone.
To do this you need open the actual Lotus Traveler icon on your phone. Once done you will get options on the bottom of screen. Open the settings menu, then to update your Lotus Notes password select ‘Account’.
To select items like notification sounds and other settings select ‘Applications’.
To download the tip sheet simply go 'Department and Services' on Intranet menu, and select ISG Tip Sheets.
