How to Create an XML Application

Status Message Object (Idle Screen)

The IP phones support an XML AastraIPPhoneStatus object for displaying status messages on a single designated line on the phone’s idle screen. The messages display when the server pushes XML information to the phone.

The 57i/57i CT phones display messages on the second line in the phone window. (where “No Service” would display if there was no service. If there is no service on the phone, the “No Service” message overrides the XML object message). The 53i phone displays messages on the first line (overriding the DisplayName). The phone truncates long messages that are wider then the phone screen.

If the phone receives multiple messages, the first message received displays first and the remaining messages scroll consecutively one at a time. Messages remain displayed until they are removed (by the server) or the phone reboots. The AastraIPPhoneStatus object feature is always enabled.

Note: You can set the amount of time, in seconds, that a message displays to the phone before scrolling to the next message. For more information about this feature, see “Scroll Delay Option (configurable via config files and Aastra Web UI only)” on page G-41and

AastraIPPhoneStatus Structure

The AastraIPPhoneStatus object describes the structure of the XML document that you can use to send status messages to the phone. The basic structure of the AastraIPPhoneStatus object is:

<AastraIPPhoneStatus> <Session>My session ID</Session>

<Message index="Msg index">Message</Message>

<! -- Additional status messages may be added under new Message tags--> <AastraIPPhoneStatus/>

The ”My Session ID” attribute must be unique to the application sending the XML object to the phone. The application generates the session ID, which could be a combination of letters and numbers. There is a maximum of one <Session> tag per PhoneStatus object, so the <Session> tag is optional.
