Model 57i IP Phone User Guide

XML Key

The 57i IP phone has a feature you can enable called "XML" (Extensible Markup 
Language). XML is a markup language much like HTML. Your System 
Administrator can create customized XML menu services and load them to your IP 
phone. These services include things like weather and traffic reports, contact 
information, company info, stock quotes, or custom call scripts. You can configure 
XML using the Aastra Web UI only.

On the 57i IP phone, you can access the XML applications from the IP Phone UI in 
two ways:

• Via  the  "Services" menu
• Via an XML softkey

By default, the Services key is the first key on the top, left softkeys. 

Using the Aastra Web UI, you can configure a key to access XML applications. 
Under Operations->Softkeys and XML you can assign a key the type "XML". 

You must also specify an XML URI and a Services label using the following XML 
fields:

The XML Application URI is the URI loaded by your phone. The phone performs an 
HTTP GET. Contact your System Administrator for the applicable XML URI to enter 
in the "XML Application URI" field.

The XML Application Title is the label that displays beside the XML softkey on your 
phone. If you use the Services key to access the XML features, the "XML 
Application Title" is the label that displays on the Services Menu in the IP Phone UI.

Note: The XML services must be set up by your System Administrator before 

you can use the key. Contact your System Administrator for more infor-
mation.

Note: Contact your System Administrator for the applicable URI to enter in 

this field.
