White paper Sony Ericsson P1

When a command is selected, pre-configured DTMF tones are used to communicate the desired function to the server. The phone can even be used to send data that the user is prompted to provide, such as the date they will be back from a business trip. Feature commands and text descriptions have to be programmed using XML and then imported into the phone.

Ongoing call features are reached from the active call view.

Offline commands and corporate telephony settings can be accessed by pressing the ‘corporate telephony’ icon once a calling card has been set up. Activating a command will result in an IP packet being sent to the server.

Routing of corporate calls

If a company uses a PABX, calls must be routed via the PABX to gain access to corporate features and resources. Sony Ericsson P1 can route outgoing calls to the corporate switch, instead of to the dialled B-party. To complete a call, the B-number is then sent to the mobile extension port of the PABX and the call set-up is completed. This process is completely transparent to the user.

A user may dial either an internal number, such as, 1234, or a public number, like +468 123 4567. Sony Ericsson P1 can be set to bypass the switch for certain types of calls.

Configuring the phone for the company

The person responsible for the corporate communication services defines how the phone shall be configured. This person may be the company's IT manager, the operator or a service provider. They define what feature commands shall be displayed in the phone, how these commands interact with the PABX and what text is displayed. They also define how Sony Ericsson P1 should handle calls to and from the corporate switch. This is all done in an XML-structured configuration file, with the extension .pbx. Once created, this configuration file can be easily installed onto Sony Ericsson P1.

To ensure that only authorized personnel have access to the PABX, approved mobile phone numbers are added to the list of mobile extensions in the PBX, and only these numbers will be able to use the facilities available.

PIM applications

The 160 MB storage space designed for user data is where the PIM applications data is stored. As this is a dynamic memory it is impossible to state which number of contacts, email messages, and so on that can be stored in this part of the memory. For example, fewer email messages make room for more contacts.

From the perspective of synchronization performance, however, there are requirements (which the phone meets). See “Synchronization capacity” on page 44 for more information.
