35.18.3 How does it work?
Taking advantage of the IP infrastructure, Aastra decided to develop the browser function on the
telephone using the HTTP transfer protocol because direct HTML support would not be suited to the
telephone’s capacity and screen. So Aastra decided that only XML objects should be supported in the
browser.
SIP 6730/31i, 6755i, 6757i and 6739i telephones support two types of applications:
 Phone-based applications
 Server-based applications
35.18.3.1 Terminal-based application
Terminal 6700i sends an HTTP (or HTTPS) GET command to the web server; it waits for a reply,
decodes and displays it on its screen like any other web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Firefox) would do in its capacity as a web client.
This may be done from a personalised software key on the terminal and on the list of personalised
functions.
35.18.3.2 Server-based applications
An application may send an XML object to the SIP terminal, which may be used for alert applications,
for instance. In this case, the terminal acts as a "limited" web server.
