w4 APPLICATION Configuration Service Provider

4/8/2010

An APPLICATION configuration service provider that has an APPID of w4 is used to configure Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).

Note

Access to this configuration service provider is determined by security roles. Because OEMs and mobile operators can selectively disallow access, ask them about the availability of this configuration service provider. For more information about roles, see Security Roles and Default Roles for Configuration Service Providers.

In the root characteristic, the default security roles are defined. The default security role maps to each subnode unless specific permission is granted to the subnode. The following table shows the default settings.

  • CM
    The CM (creation mode) parameter is used in the APPLICATION characteristic to facilitate creation of interoperable multimedia messages. Three creation modes are defined:

    Restricted   The device will only create and submit multimedia messages belonging to the core multimedia message content domain.

    Warning   The device will guide the user to create and submit multimedia messages belonging to the core multimedia message content domain. The user has the option to ignore the guidance.

    Free   The device will allow the user to add any content to a multimedia message.

    The possible values to configure the CM parameter are:

    • R - equal to restricted
    • W - equal to warning
    • F - equal to free

    The registry location of the CM parameter is:

    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\MMS\Profiles\ <NAME> \CM

  • RM
    The RM (resubmission mode) parameter is used in the APPLICATION characteristic to allow submission of earlier retrieved multimedia messages.

    When re-submission follows the creation mode and the creation mode is warning or free, this parameter has no effect. When re-submission follows the creation mode and the creation mode is restricted, then the three re-submission modes are:

    Restricted   The device will only re-submit multimedia messages belonging to the core multimedia message content domain.

    Warning   The device will guide the user to re-submit only multimedia messages belonging to the core multimedia message content domain. If the guidance is ignored the device may allow the user to re-submit any retrieved multimedia message.

    Free   The device will allow the user to re-submit any earlier retrieved multimedia message.

  • Ma
    The Ma (MMSA interface) parameter is used in the APPLICATION characteristic to allow the user or the network operator to enable or disable the MMS client interface, and allows the network operator to lock the MMS client interface.

    In the disabled state the MMS client will not submit multimedia messages and will not hand over data from multimedia messages to any application.

    In the enabled state the MMS client can submit multimedia messages and can hand over data from multimedia messages to applications.

    In the locked state, the user does not have the ability to change the state of the MMSA interface and the client will behave the same as in the disabled state.

    The default state is disabled.

    The possible values to configure the Ma parameter are:

    • disabled
    • enabled
    • locked

    The registry location of the Ma parameter is: MMS\Profiles\<NAME>\Ma.

Remarks

Many sets of MMS parameters can exist on a Windows Mobile device, but each set must have a unique name. Multiple sub-keys, each representing a different set of MMS parameters, are located under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\MMS\Profiles\. If provisioned again with the same application name, however, the previously held values will be overwritten.

For more information about the parameters used by the w4 APPLICATION configuration service provider and how they are used, see the OMA MMS Conformance Document (OMA-TS-MMS-CONF-V1_3-20051027-C) available from this OMA Web site.
