3. Enter email address and password.
4. Select "Exchange Activesync" and configure manually
5. Populate the required fields with the correct information (user email address, userid, password, server IP address, etc.)(check "accept all certificates" if using a self-signed certificate)
   1. Reference the note in the section below, SSL Considerations.
6. Finish walking through the steps and complete setup.
7. Your Email, Calendar, and Contacts can now sync.
   1. If calendar or contacts don't seem to be syncing yet, create a calendar event or contact on the device and sync it to the Data Sync Server. This sometimes speeds up the process.

Select Settings, enable the "Lock time zone" setting and update the "Select time zone" setting to be set to the same time zone as configured on the machine where the GroupWise Client is running.
