VDP650 Administrator and Provisioning Manual
Handset Name
On the
Handset Name
page, you can enter a name for each Handset. The Handset Name
will be used throughout the WebUI and will appear on the handset Idle screen.
The Handset Name is limited to a maximum of 11 characters.
The default name is "HANDSET". Blank name fields are not allowed. If you click
when any fields are empty, an error message appears.
Server Application
On the Server Application page, you can enter Action URIs to allow the VDP650 to interact
with a server application by using an HTTP GET request. The action URI triggers a GET
request when a specified event occurs. Action URIs allow an external application to take
control of the display when an event occurs. These pre-defined events are listed under
“Action URI” on the Server Application page.
Action URIs are typically used in conjunction with the XML Browser, which can be
customised to deliver an appropriate user experience.
The VDP650 supports both push and pull server applications. Note that Action URI events
are not “push” events as it is the phone that requests a URI when triggered by certain
states. You can enable push server applications under “XML Push Settings”.
Action URI Syntax
To access an XML application, the phone performs an HTTP GET on a URL.
An HTTP GET request may contain a variable name and variable value, which are
separated by "=". Each variable value starts and ends with "$$" in the query part of the URL.
Action URI variables pass dynamic data to the server. The valid URL format is:
http://host[:port]/dir/file name?variable name=$$variable value$$
