Delivering the Provisioning XML File to the Device
After manufacture, you can physically deliver provisioning XML documents to Windows Mobile-based devices by sending the file over the air (OTA), placing the files in device ROM after deployment, or by using delivery methods that require physical access to the device.
The following table shows how the over the air (OTA) delivery can be pushed to or pulled by the device.
| Delivery method | Comments |
|---|---|
| Push the file using a one-way WAP Push and the OMA Client Provisioning protocol. | This type of push is recommended for bootstrapping a device. For more information, see Delivering Provisioning XML by Using a WAP Push. |
| Push the file using an OMA DM Server and the OMA DM protocol. | This methods provides a two-way communication for subsequent provisioning. For more information, see Delivering Provisioning XML by Using an OMA DM Server. |
| Push the file using a Service Indication (SI) message, or automatically download the file using Service Location (SL). | For more information, see Delivering Provisioning XML by Using Service Indication (SI) and Service Location (SL). |
| The device can pull the provisioning XML in a .cpf file in response to E-mail or Short Message Service (SMS). | For more information, see Delivering Provisioning XML by Using E-mail or Short Message Service (SMS). |
| The device can pull the provisioning XML in a .cpf file by a user downloading it over HTTP or HTTPS (Microsoft Internet Explorer Mobile). | For more information, see Delivering Provision XML by Using Microsoft Internet Explorer Mobile. |
Delivery methods requiring physical access to the device by the operator or user include:
- Downloading the provisioning XML file from the desktop, using the Remote Application Programming Interface (RAPI) in ActiveSync. This method is supported only when the provisioning file is contained in a CAB file. For more information, see Delivering Provisioning XML by Using Active Sync.
- Installing the provisioning XML from a memory card, using the autorun feature and a Secure Digital Multimedia Card (SD/MMC). For more information, see Delivering Provisioning XML by Using a Memory Card.
- User Interface
