Hi,

I see there are other threads around this subject but I wanted to ask a specific question. We're attempting to provision a 6230 with GPRS web APNs for the main networks (Voda, Orange, O2 etc.) using the OMA OTA form. Our messages are getting through, we're using the PIN etc and they get saved OK, however we can't get them to match the pre loaded versions on the handset (Why not use those you might ask, well we have to send them to people's existing handsets, so we can't be sure they've got them). Anyway the specific problem is with the proxies, most of the preloaded apns seem to have the primary proxy port set to 8080 and the Secondary to 0 (O2, T Mobile) or proxies disabled completely (Voda, Orange). I've tried setting the port number on the form to 8080, but this sets primary and secondary ports to 8080 which doesn't seem to work. There doesn't seem to be any way to disable proxies on the OMA OTA form so no luck there either.

Have you any idea how to get round this as this seems to be the only phone which gets upset about these things (haven't tried other series 40s yet)?

Hi Keith,

Unfortunately I can't do any testing/experimentation at the moment. But I did some checking of all of my available resources.

The way that the settings are defined seems to assume that a proxy will be used.

Here are some things that I would suggest trying (I wish I could try them myself before suggesting, but ...)

Try setting the Gateway/Proxy IP to 0.0.0.0

Try leaving the port field blank (in our form, select "Other", then blank out the port number).

You can also try manually creating XML settings and sending them through the "Send XML Settings" interface.

Here's what I'd try:

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="BOOTSTRAP">
<parm name="NAME" value="TestNoProxy"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="NAPDEF">
<parm name="NAME" value="TestNoProxy"/>
<parm name="NAPID" value="TestNoProxy_NAPID"/>
<parm name="BEARER" value="GSM-GPRS"/>
<parm name="NAP-ADDRESS" value="GPRS.APN.NAME"/>
<parm name="NAP-ADDRTYPE" value="APN"/>
<characteristic type="NAPAUTHINFO">
<parm name="AUTHTYPE" value="PAP"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="PXLOGICAL">
<parm name="NAME" value="TestNoProxy"/>
<parm name="PROXY-ID" value="TestNoProxy_Proxy"/>
<characteristic type="PXPHYSICAL">
<parm name="PHYSICAL-PROXY-ID" value="TestNoProxy_PhProxy"/>
<parm name="TO-NAPID" value="TestNoProxy_NAPID"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

In the above, I've left out the sections where the proxy IP and port are defined. The above example does not include a username and password for connecting to the APN, but that could be added.
