Over-the-Air-Provisioning |
Over-the-Air-Provisioning requires multiple components at a server system and a device client. This page gives references to defined standards and describes identified components and their responsibility. |
Components |
Client Provisioning is an open and widely used standard to provision client devices. Leading mobile manufacturers and service providers support this standard. |
OMA Client Provisioning |
SyncML is an open standard supporting two-way communication between server and clients. It requires a preconfiguration to connect to the server, but enables enhanced possibilities to solve user problems. |
SyncML Device Management |
The settings database is the place to store your knowledge about the various configurations and devices. These information are in general independant and merged by a document creator or session handler.
|
Settings database |
Configuration settings may be send through a variety of bearers, connection-oriented or connectionless, and over different protocols. Standards are OTAP over GSM-SMS and SyncML DM over HTTP. |
Protocol and Bearer |
This component is responsible to transfer the destination device independent knowledge of the settings database into a device dependant document. |
Document Creator |
The document parser is a software that needs to run on the device to read settings from the settings document. It is possible to use a generic Java implementation and integrate it to the device specific settings. |
