WML Server Setup:
8.1 Testing 4620 WML Browsing Using Xitami
1. Introduction
Xitami is a small and simple web server application. It is used here to configure one of our LAN PC's as a web server able to provide .wml pages is response to requests from an IP phone.
∙Web Server PC
Any Windows PC on the IP Office LAN. Ideally this PC should have a fixed IP address.
∙Server Software
Xitami can be obtained from http://www.imatix.com. A copy is available on the IP Office Documentation CD. If an alternate Apache or IIS web server is available refer to the section on configuring Apache 76
or IIS 76
for WML files.
∙Sample WML Pages
A number of sample pages can be downloaded from http://support.avaya.com/japple/css/japple? PAGE=ProductArea&temp.productID=107755.
2.Installing the Web Server
For this test we used a web server called Xitami. It is a simple, small and flexible web server for use on Windows based PC's.
1.On the server PC, run Xitami.exe to start installation of the web server.
2.Accept the various defaults.
3.When asked for a User Name and Password, note the details entered.
4.When finished, select Run. The Xitami server appears as an 
icon.
5.To display the web servers basic properties, 
. Note the IP addresses.
6.To close the window without stopping the web server, click Close.
7.Open the PC's web browser and enter http://<server IP address>. You should see the default Xitami web pages.
If there are other PC's on the IP Office LAN they should also be able to browse the web server's IP address.
3. Configuring the Xitami Web Server for WAP
Basic web browsing consist of requests to the web server for .htm and .html text pages and .gif and .jpg images which are then displayed by a browser program. WAP browsing uses different file types, wml for text and .wbmp for images.
The web server needs to be configured to recognize those file types, and several others, as files that might be requested by a WAP browser program. This is done by adding what many web servers refer to as MIME types.
1.On the web server PC, open the folder C:\Xitami.
2.Using a plain text editor such as Notepad or WordPad, open the file Xitami.cfg.
3.Scroll down the file to the section [MIME]. You will see that it is a list of settings for different text, image and application files types.
4.Scroll the end of the file and add the following new set of MIME type for files that are supported by H323 IP phones with a WAP browser.
#WAP MIME types wml=text/vnd.wap.wml
5.Save the file.
