 Home Devices OpenScape Desk Phone CP Send URL
|
Introduction
The Send URL function on the OpenScape Desk Phone CP devices, allows a user to send a predefined HTTP or HTTPS request to a server in order to trigger a remote action. The functionality is available from a free programmable key (FPK), that has been configured for this feature. In the server response to a phones HTTP or HTTPS request, the phone can be triggered to (e.g.)
- turn on the LED of the configured FPK (in different colours)
- use a different blinking mode
- overwrite the FPK label (CP600 only)
Technical details
- The request can be sent in plain HTTP or encrypted HTTPS
- The request can be of type GET or POST
- The phone will not follow any type of redirect (3XX)
- Authentication User ID and password will be sent as Parameters (no HTTP Basic Authentication)
- When using HTTPS, the connected server can be validated according to the Authentication Policy (see Administration Guide)
Configuration
A Send URL FPK can be configured via web based management or DLS. Please see example screenshot from WBM.
This FPK (if pressed) will trigger the following request
https://10.10.0.255:443/?userid=MyUsername&password=MyPassword&id=1&item=2&ipaddress=<IP-OF-DEVICE>&phonenumber=<E164-OF-DEVICE>&devicetype=OpenStage&symbn=MySymbolicName
The parts of the URL linked to the configuration items can be seen in the following table
| URL part | Configuration Item | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Method | GET |
| Protocol | Protocol | https |
| Hostname | Web server address | 10.10.0.255 |
| Port | Port | 443 |
| Path | Path | / |
| Parameter | Parameters | id=1&item=2 |
| Parameter | Web server user ID | userid=MyUsername |
| Parameter | Web server password | password=MyPassword |
| Parameter | Symbolic name | symbn=MySymbolicName |
| Parameter | not configurable | ipaddress=<IP-OF-DEVICE> |
| Parameter | not configurable | phonenumber=<E164-OF-DEVICE> |
| Parameter | not configurable | devicetype=OpenStage |
Server response
In order to make use of the Send URL FPK specific features (LED colour and blink mode), the server needs to reply with a specific XML content. Also the HTTP header needs to contain the 'Content-Type', which is 'text/xml'. The HTTP response code needs to be 200, in order for the CP phone to process the XML body.
<Batch> <Capabilities_Req TYPE="ALL_OF"> <Capability NAME="XML_LED_STATE_CONTROL" /> </Capabilities_Req> <Remote_Control> <Turnled ID="MySymbolicName" WAKE="FALSE" STATE="FLASH" COLOUR="GREEN" LABEL="FPK label" /> </Remote_Control> </Batch>
The interesting part for a Send URL application developer is the <Turnled> element. Let's see the different attributes and their possible values.
| Attribute | Description | Type | Possible values |
|---|---|---|---|
| ID | Should contain the symbolic name configured. | String | as configured for the FPK |
| WAKE | Wakes up the device from power saving or screen saver mode. | Boolean | TRUE or FALSE |
| STATE | Defines the state of the LED | Enumeration | ON, OFF, FLASH or FLUTTER |
| COLOUR | Defines the colour of the LED. Requires STATE to be ON, FLASH or FLUTTER | Enumeration | RED, YELLOW or GREEN |
| LABEL | Defines the FPK label text. Only applicable for Desk Phone CP600 | String | e.g. "My new label" |
