XML push client/phone intiated?

[jolouis]

Sounds like you're getting the idea of PUSH confused...

By definition, PUSH is when the server sends something to the phone. If the phone was to ask for something, that would be a PULL.

So the question is, what information or settings are you trying to get to the phone, or what do you want it do actually do? Knowing that will determine which approach you use.

For example, if you want the phone to update it's configuration from time to time, you can use Scheduled Auto Provisioning. This will tell the phone to periodically PULL the config from the server, and update itself with the new settings.

If you want the user to be able to view some random XML/information at their whim, then just setup a DSS button as XML browser. When the user presses the button, they cause the phone to PULL the XML from your server.

Finally, if you want the server to be in control, you may able to achieve that by using SIP Notify messages. I know you can do a Notify to tell the phone to Auto Provision (incase you want to do so immediately rather than on a schedule or at boot up). I think you might also be able to do generic XML pushes through notify (thought I saw that in one of the recent firmware manuals) but not 100% on that one, you would have to do some research...
