We just got LCS working on the BES and it seems very confusing at this point because you can login on your handheld and your desktop at the same time.

Is there any way to limit connections on LCS to only 1 per user?
Or can anyone explain how messages flow when you are logged in twice?

Thanks!

It's actually designed to do this apparently. i did have one of the guys at RIM explain it to me (but it was over beer and for some reason everything is hazy!)

Attached is a presentation that shows the flows, it's not great but i hope it helps. it does (I believe) have mr voons email address and he's one of the wireless architects in charge so could be worth an email.

(update - tried to attach the file but its 690Kb - does anyone have some space somewhere so i can post a link to it? or you can pm me and I'll mail it)

You have to change it from the Live Communications Server. The default on the server is up to 4 connections at once, which I have no idea why.

darkmark, send to me at theonelikejibi at gmail and i'll host it.

Please can you email my the reference document.

Finally got round to sending this. Sorry for the delay, it should now be in your inbox.

Hi,
Did the aforementioned document get posted and I missed it?

I am trying to understand, then explain, the logic behind the presence awareness feature of LCS with multiple logins for one user and how to stop IMs from going to the BB when the person is at their workstation. I know signing-out on the BB does this but most people don't remember to do this.

I also found a MS KB911996 article regarding a fix to LCS that addresses presense awareness issues. Has anyone applied this and did it make any improvement?

Thanks!
