The XHTML pages displayed on the Microbrowser can contain static or
dynamic information.
Static XHTML. These pages are created using XHTML editors and hosted by
the Web server. These pages are accessed from the Microbrowser (using HTTP
protocol) by entering the URL to access the page. These XHTML pages are
called static, because the information that is displayed is already coded into
the XHTML pages. These pages do not include information that keep changing
or contact other services for update.
Dynamic XHTML. These pages involves dynamic information updates of
XHTML pages by an application hosted on the Web server. The application
residing on the Web server will get information from an intranet or through
the Internet—data service providers like Yahoo, Exchange Server, Call Control
Servers and other enterprise servers.
Users can launch the Microbrowser on a SoundPoint IP or SoundStation IP
phone by pressing the Services key, or if there isn’t one on the phone, it can be
accessed through the Menu key by selecting Features, and then Applications.
The Microbrowser is supported on:
• SoundPoint IP 330/320 - screen resolution - 102*22 pixels (3” by 1”)
• SoundPoint IP 430 – screen resolution – 132*46 pixels (3.5”*1.5”)
• SoundPoint IP 501 – screen resolution – 160*80 pixels (4” by 2”)
• SoundPoint IP601/650 – screen resolution – 320*160 pixels (4” by 2”)
• SoundPoint IP 4000 – screen resolution – 240*68 pixels (2.4”*0.8”)
What is XHTML
XHTML is the abbreviation of eXtensible HyperText Markup Language.
XHTML 1.0 is a transformation of HTML 4.01 into valid XML. The use of the
stricter XML syntax makes parsing of XHTML much easier for small clients,
but XHTML 1.0 was also the first step towards making HTML easily
extensible. Moving to XML allowed the methods used to create XML
extensions to apply to HTML as well. Step two occurred with XHTML 1.1,
where XHTML was divided up into ‘modules’, where any features above and
beyond a skeleton set were grouped into individual modules. User agent (UA)
developers could then decide which extensions to support. A simple user
agent can be considered a fully compliant user agent by supporting only the
Basic module, whereas a more powerful browser can support all the official
modules, as well as those developed by third parties.
Note As of SIP 2.2, the Services key and menu entry were renamed Applications,
however the functionality remains the same.
