Push Content

Three types of content can be pushed, with one of two types of priorities, normal and barge-in. The content types are:

• Text Messages on the top display line. If a pushed text message has barge-in priority, the message overwrites whatever else is currently displayed. However, other subsequent messages can, in turn, overwrite the pushed message. If the pushed text message has normal priority, it is buffered in the telephone and displayed when no higher priority message is being displayed. Up to 56 characters can be pushed to the top line in a given message.
• WML Web pages can be pushed to the telephone’s WML browser. If a pushed Web page has barge-in priority, the content overwrites whatever else is currently displayed to the user.

If the push of a Web page has normal priority, the Web page does not override what the user sees. If the user has the Web application displayed, normal-priority pushed content overrides what is otherwise displayed. If the Web application is not being displayed, normal-priority pushed content loads in the background. When the user invokes the Web application, the pushed content displays, subject to certain restrictions. For this reason, you might want to accompany a Web push with a corresponding pushed text message, alerting users there is Web content to view.

• Audio Messages (RTP) can be pushed. Pushed audio messages can drive the telephone off-hook, if necessary and play the pushed message through the telephone’s Speaker. If the audio push has barge-in priority, the audio message is presented to the user, even if the user is on a call. In this latter case, the far-end is automatically placed on Hold and does not hear the pushed audio message.

A given push can include any or all of the three content forms, but can have only one priority. You can optionally accompany each push with notification tones to draw the user’s attention to the telephone and to the pushed content.
