Device Capabilities

This appendix describes the device capabilities that you can specify for the devices that you use with the Sun Java System Content Delivery Server. It also provides a sample specification for a common device. See “Managing Devices” on page 68 for information on how to specify device capabilities.

Descriptions of the Capabilities

Device capabilities are defined in the following categories:

System Capabilities

Mandatory Capabilities

Content Delivery Server-Specific Capabilities

User Interface and Software Capabilities

See “Specifying a Capability Value” on page 236 for more information.

System Capabilities

System capabilities are primarily used by the Content Delivery Server. They define capabilities that a device must have to perform Content Delivery Server functionality. For instance, system capabilities define whether a device supports Short Message Service (SMS) or WAP Push.

Push Type takes a string value that specifies the device’s delivery mechanisms: mms, sms, or wap.
