Configuring Operational Features

Operational Features

XML Push Requests

In addition to initiating a request to an XML application from a softkey, an HTTP server can push an XML object to the phone via HTTP Post. When the phone sees a PUSH request containing an XML object, it tries to authenticate the request. It does so by checking the IP address or host name of the requesting host against a list of trusted hosts (or domain names) configured via the Aastra Web UI (parameter called XML Push Server List) or the configuration files (parameter called xml application post list). If the request is authenticated, the XML object is handled by the IP phone accordingly, and displays the information to the screen.

Note: The HTTP Post must contain HTTP packets that have an "xml" line in the message body. For more information about adding "xml" lines in HTTP packets, see Appendix G, “Creating an XML Application.”.

Example Configuration of XML application

The following example shows the parameters you enter in the configuration files to configure an XML application:

xml application URI: http://172.16.96.63/aastra/internet.php

xml application title: Aastra Telecom

xml application post list: 10.50.10.53, dhcp10-53.ana.aastra.com

Configuring for XML on the IP Phone

After creating an XML application, an administrator can configure the IP phone to use the application using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.

Configuration Files

For specific parameters you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section, “XML Settings” on page A-89.
