Preparing the Application Gateway and an 
Application to Use the Push XML API
To send alerts from a third-party application to IP phones through the 
Push XML API, you must enable the Push XML API on the Application 
Gateway and program the application to send XML to the Application 
Gateway. 
To enable the Push XML API on the Application Gateway: 
1
Upload a Broadcast Server license to the Application Gateway.
The Broadcast Server license opens a port on the Application Gateway for 
communication with a third-party application.
2
Enter the URL of the application in the Application Gateway 
Administration Tool on the Operation > Voice Office > IP Phone page.
The Application Gateway needs the application URL so that it can send the 
application the IP address and push port to use when sending XML to the 
Application Gateway. 
To program an application to use the Push XML API:
1
Configure the application to send XML requests and to receive XML 
responses over the Application Gateway’s push port via HTTP.
2
Create an interface for composing and sending distribution list and alert 
requests. 
 contains sample ASP pages for sending the 
XML code for a distribution list and an alert to the Application Gateway.
To test the connection between the Application Gateway and the 
application:
1
Compose a simple alert in your application and send it to one test phone.
2
Verify that the phone received the alert. 
3
On the phone, click the OK or Exit soft key to dismiss the alert.
4
Verify that your application received confirmation that the alert was 
delivered and viewed.
