Hi there!
I need some help regarding OTA configuration. Everything works fine for me, the settings are sent (I use new beta version of NewSMS), but I wolud like to know how to create OTA config. file containing GPRS only and GPRS/MMS settings for my provider's. From time to time I have to reset my phones, and I would like to have files redy for sendig to phone. I did sent some files (copy/paste to notepad, changed parameters) that I found here in this forum and in Documentation section, but none with GPRS and GPRS/MMS settings (or I missed it?). So, please, can anyone post/direct me to how to create this kind of file. Phones that I am using are SE T68i, T610 and P800.
Thanks,
Tomi

Hi Tomislav,

I'm sorry that I didn't reply to your message earlier.

I don't visit this forum area as frequently as the product support forum areas on this discussion board.

There is a lot of discussion on this topic at the following URL:

Oops ... as I re-read your message, I don't believe the phones that you mention have full support for the OMA provisioning. You're better off using the Nokia/Ericsson OTA Settings for those phones.

Here's a sample of the type of format that you'd use for an OTA document:

<CHARACTERISTIC-LIST>
<CHARACTERISTIC TYPE="ADDRESS">
<PARM NAME="BEARER" VALUE="GPRS"/>
<PARM NAME="PROXY" VALUE="1.2.3.4"/>
<PARM NAME="PORT" VALUE="9201"/>
<PARM NAME="GPRS_ACCESSPOINTNAME" VALUE="apn.name"/>
<PARM NAME="PPP_AUTHTYPE" VALUE="PAP"/>
<PARM NAME="PPP_AUTHNAME" VALUE="user"/>
<PARM NAME="PPP_AUTHSECRET" VALUE="password"/>
<PARM NAME="ISP_NAME" VALUE="Settings Name"/>
</CHARACTERISTIC>
<CHARACTERISTIC TYPE="MMSURL" VALUE="http://mms.server.url/"/>
<CHARACTERISTIC TYPE="NAME">
<PARM NAME="NAME" VALUE="Settings Name"/>
</CHARACTERISTIC>
<CHARACTERISTIC TYPE="URL" VALUE="http://home.page.url"/>
<CHARACTERISTIC TYPE="BOOKMARK">
<PARM NAME="NAME" VALUE="Settings Name"/>
<PARM NAME="URL" VALUE="http://home.page.url"/>
</CHARACTERISTIC>
</CHARACTERISTIC-LIST>


If a username and password are not required for the GPRS connection, leave out the PPP_AUTHNAME and PPP_AUTHSECRET parms.

Thanks Bryce, this helps. However, some things "bother me". APN's for GPRS and MMS (over GPRS) are not the same in my networks. So:
1. I first send GPRS only settings (with GPRS APN) and then another message for MMS settings, or.
2. is it possible to send all settings in one message (I think not, but..?).
For the rest of things I want to know I will first look in the forum, maybe someone asked that before..

Tomislav,

Using the Nokia/Ericsson OTA spec, you would have to send two messages.

I should point out that most Nokia phones require you to send 2 messages anyway when using this type of OTA (they won't allow you to provision the MMS and WAP browser settings in one message, whereas Ericsson phones allow this).

Using the OMA OTA provisioning content specifications (I referenced some info about that in another thread), it is possible to create an OTA message that could provision both MMS and the WAP browser with different GPRS access point names.

However, the T68i and T610 do not support that provisioning specification (and the P800 does not support it completely).

Just wondering...I've read through the threads here, I am still quite unsure where to start off from.

I would like to create my own GPRS configuration files and have them Bluetooth/IrDA/OTA to my devices (Nokia, SonyEricsson, Sagem, Samsung).

Any guide that I can study from?

Thanks,
Yow Chuan

I was wondering if anybody has the OTA configuration manual of the Motorota, Siemens, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Sagem and Samsung mobile phones.

Thank you very much
