8.3OTAP Parameters

s

There is a set of parameters that control the OTAP procedures. These parameters can either be set by AT command (at^sjotap, refer to AT Command Set [7]) during the production of the device, or by SM (see Section 8.4) during operation of the device in the field. None of the parameters, which are set by AT command, can be overwritten by SM.

JAD File URL: the location of the JAD file is used to install or update procedures. The JAD file needs to be located on the net (e.g. http://someserver.net/somefile.jad or http://192.168.1.2/somefile.jad ).

Application Directory: this is the directory where a new application (JAD and JAR file) is installed. The delete operation deletes this directory completely. When entering the application directory with at^sjotap or a short message ensure that the path name is not terminated with a slash. For example, type "a:" or "a:/otap" rather than "a:/" or "a:/otap/". See examples provided in Chapter 8.4.

http User: a username used for authentication with the http server.

http Password: a password used for authentication with the http server.

Bearer: the network bearer used to open the HTTP/TCP/IP connection, either GPRS or CSD.

APN or Number: depending on the selected network bearer this is either an access point name for GPRS or a telephone number for CSD.

Net User: a username used for authentication with the network.

Net Password: a password used for authentication with the network.

DNS: a Domain Name Server’s IP address used to query hostnames.

NotifyURL: the URL to which results are posted. This parameter is only used when the MIDlet-Install-Notify attribute or MIDlet-Delete-Notify attribute is not present in the descriptor.

There is one additional parameter that can only be set by AT command:

SM Password: it is used to authenticate incoming OTAP SMs. Setting this password gives an extra level of security.

Note: If a password set by AT command, all SMs must include this password
