Operational IP Phone Features
Operational IP Phone Features
Configuring the Phone to use XML
You can configure the phone to request the XML objects you create by
configuring specific parameters via the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.
Users can access XML applications via softkeys configured on the IP phones.
The phone performs an HTTP GET on the URI configured in the Aastra Web UI
or configuation files.
You configure the following parameters for object requests:
• xml application URI
• xml application title
The xml application URI is the application you are loading into the IP phone.
The xml application title is the name of the XML application that displays on the
Services menu in the IP Phone UI (as option #4).
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.”.
