Provisioning OTA Through an OMA DM Server

  • Artigo

4/8/2010

Windows Mobile devices can be provisioned over-the-air using OMA DM provisioning XML and an OMA Device Management server. This is the preferred method, since it provides two-way communication for subsequent provisioning.

Note

Microsoft does not provide an OMA DM server. The OEM, mobile operator, or a third party must create their own server. For information about server requirements, see Server Requirements for OMA Device Management.

Assumptions

  • The device is bootstrapped to communicate with the DM server and accept management commands from it. For more information, see Bootstrapping To Use An OMA DM Server.

    Note

    OTA bootstrapping is disabled by default in Windows Mobile devices. Before you can bootstrap or continuously provision the device OTA you must enable OTA bootstrapping. For more information see Enabling OTA Bootstrapping.

  • You have created OMA DM provisioning XML as described in Creating a Provisioning XML File.

The following illustration shows how a device is provisioned using an OMA DM server.

The numbers in the illustration correspond to the following steps:

  1. You place the OMA DM provisioning XML file on the OMA DM server to be ready for download.
  2. Using a WAP push, the DM server sends a Short Message Service (SMS) message to the device. The message, also called the server trigger, includes the server ID and tells the client device to initiate a session with the server. The client device will use this information to verify that the server is authorized to communicate with it.
  3. The device initiates a DM session with the OMA DM server and downloads the OMA DM provisioning XML file.
    The device is updated.

For greater detail of what occurs on the device, see OMA DM version 1.1.2 Architecture.

For information about what occurs during a DM session, see The Device Management (DM) Session.
