Preparing the Application Gateway and an Application to Use the Push XML API

Preparing the Application Gateway and an Application to Use the Push XML API

To send alerts from a third-party application to IP phones through the Push XML API, you must enable the Push XML API on the Application Gateway and program the application to send XML to the Application Gateway.

To enable the Push XML API on the Application Gateway:

1Upload a Broadcast Server license to the Application Gateway.

The Broadcast Server license opens a port on the Application Gateway for communication with a third-party application.

2Enter the URL of the application in the Application Gateway Administration Tool on the Operation > Voice Office > IP Phone page.

The Application Gateway needs the application URL so that it can send the application the IP address and push port to use when sending XML to the Application Gateway.

To program an application to use the Push XML API:

1Configure the application to send XML requests and to receive XML responses over the Application Gateway’s push port via HTTP.

2Create an interface for composing and sending distribution list and alert requests.

“Sample ASP Pages,” page 71 contains sample ASP pages for sending the XML code for a distribution list and an alert to the Application Gateway.

To test the connection between the Application Gateway and the application:

1Compose a simple alert in your application and send it to one test phone.

2Verify that the phone received the alert.

3On the phone, click the OK or Exit soft key to dismiss the alert.

4Verify that your application received confirmation that the alert was delivered and viewed.
