2 Configuring Bria
W e strongly recommend that you perform your initial setup from within a “known” network, such as in
your enterprise or university campus Wi-Fi zone or within range of your home network (if you have
one) and not in a network such as an internet cafe.
2.1 Getting Ready
1. Set up Wi-Fi connection. From the main tablet screen, tap Settings > Wireless & networks, and look at the
Wi-Fi field:
• If it has a checkmark and a message such as “Connected to MyEnterprise”, then your tablet has a Wi-Fi
connection. Go to the next step.
• If it has no checkmark and the line “Turn on Wi-Fi”, then tap the field to turn on Wi-Fi and wait for the
message “Connected to MyEnterprise”
• If the message does not appear, tap Wi-Fi settings (the next field). On the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap the
desired network and complete the popup that appears. The message “Connected” will appear.
You can connect to as many networks as you want. Whenever you move into range of one of these
networks (and assuming you are not already connected elsewhere), you will automatically connect to
that network.
2. Set up mobile data connection (if applicable). From the main tablet screen, tap Settings > Wireless &
networks, and then tap Mobile networks. Make sure:
• Data enabled is On
3. Obtain account information from your VoIP service provider.
• Your username, passwo rd and domain.
• Your autorization name, if used by your service provider.
• Your voicemail number, if your service provider provides this service.
4. Tap the Bria icon on the tablet.

2.3 Setting up Presence and Instant Messaging
Presence and Messaging is a premium feature available as an in-app purchase. With Presence and Messaging,
you can share online status with your buddies (such as Available, Away, On the phone), and exchange instant
messages with them.
Bria supports the XMPP protocol and the SIP SIMPLE protocol. Y ou can create an XMPP account on Bria with
your Gmail or Facebook credentials to communicate with your buddies. To use a SIP account for Presence and
Messaging, make sure your VoIP service provider supports this service for SIP SIMPLE. Texting (sending
SMS) to PSTN phone numbers is also available if your VoIP service provider supports this service.
To use the Presence and Messaging feature for XMPP and/or SIP SIMPLE, you need to purchase the feature
from Google Play. To do so, go to Settings > Premium Features, and follow the prompt (see page 44 for details).
After the purchase, the Messages tab appears at the bottom of Bria. Then follow the steps below, depending on
the protocol you want to use.
For XMPP
T o use the Presence and Messaging feature for XMPP, you need to create an XMPP account with the credentials
such as Gmail or Facebook. As soon as your account is connected to an XMPP server, your buddies appear on
your Buddies list.
