The network provider can send a set of network configuration to a mobile device. There is no user interaction required to create a working Internet connection.
OTA Network allows the network provider to send a set of network configuration to a mobile device with no user interaction required to create a working Internet connection. Qtopia processes the network configuration messages and writes the received settings to a file. Two distinct formats of OTA network configuration messages are supported:
Nokia's Over the Air Settings Specification 7.0
WAP/OMA standards (wap-183-provcont-20010724-a.pdf and OMA-WAP-ProvCont-v1_1-20050428-C.pdf).
New Configuration options are automatically matched against existing configurations and if there is no existing configuration available, new Internet/WAP accounts are created. The entire process does not require any interaction with the user, however for security reasons the user can refuse to accept configuration changes. Once the changes are applied, new options are integrated into the Qtopia network configuration and can be used by starting the appropriate accounts.
