Important Security Information Important Security Information Improper configuration of the Cisco CTE 1400 can result in a security risk. Before you deploy the Cisco CTE 1400, verify the configuration as follows: • Verify that the CTE does not have access to protected intranet sites. By default, the CTE proxies only the web pages it has transformed in order to prevent access to protected servers that are on the same subnet as the CTE.
PAGE 3
System Requirements • Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE), Standard Edition, version 1.2.2_008 (available from http://www.javasoft.com or the Design Studio CD-ROM). • A VGA color monitor with a graphics card capable of showing 16-bit color or higher. A minimum screen resolution of 640 x 480. Recommended resolution is 1280 x 1024. • Network connection to the Cisco CTE 1400 and Design Studio support the formats most commonly used for websites and wireless devices.

PAGE 5
Upgrading the Cisco CTE 1400 and Design Studio • By default, the CTE converts a table to a list for Palm and RIM devices and WAP phones. • By default, the CTE drops images that are smaller than 20 pixels in both height and width for WAP and cHTML devices. • Some WAP phones do not support the display of images, so the CTE does not send images to them. In those cases, if an img element or input type="image" element has an alt attribute, the CTE sends the alternate text.
PAGE 6
Opening Configuration Files in Design Studio Release 2.2 • The CTE now changes text in links containing JavaScript () to “Submit” buttons. You might want to modify the element so that the link appears as a text. • The Select rule now automatically selects formbegin and formend elements. Rules previously added to include those elements are no longer needed. • Conflicting identifier rules.

New Features in Release 2.2 New Features in Release 2.2 The following sections describe new features in Cisco CTE 1400 and Design Studio release 2.2: • New Features in the Cisco CTE 1400, page 7 • New Features in Design Studio, page 8 There are no new features for release 2.0 or 2.1. New Features in the Cisco CTE 1400 The following sections describe the new features for the CTE 1400 release 2.
PAGE 8
New Features in Release 2.2 New Features in Design Studio The following sections describe the new features in Design Studio release 2.2: • JavaScript Support, page 8 • Workgroup Collaboration, page 8 • Support for Custom XSL, page 8 • Device-Specific Configuration, page 9 • Improved Feedback on Rule Status, page 9 • CTE XHTML Extensions, page 9 • Other New Features and Changes in Design Studio, page 10 For more information, see the Design Studio User Guide.
PAGE 9
New Features in Release 2.2 Device-Specific Configuration You can now specify some CTE transcoding parameters for individual devices. The CTE uses a Device Definition File (DDF) to determine how the CTE transcodes a site for a particular device. The DDF specifies device characteristics such as the protocol supported by the device and the default image size. You can change device descriptions, add a description for a new device, or import a DDF.
PAGE 10
New Features in Release 2.2 Other New Features and Changes in Design Studio • Design Studio (and the CTE) can read web pages that use any standard encoding. They also transcode web pages to the formats required by all supported wireless devices: UTF-8, 7-bit ASCII, and Shift-JIS encoding. • You can rename a page in the project tree. • The Select rule automatically selects formbegin and formend elements. • The Modify rule has more options for modifying elements and element attributes.
PAGE 11
Documentation Updates Documentation Updates Important Security Information Be aware of the following security considerations: • IP Phone issues The IP Phone protocol is still under development and some elements are not rendered correctly by the CTE. You might experience problems with links, frames, input elements, and the display of search result pages. Because Cisco CallManager does not support SSL, the connection between Cisco CallManager and the CTE is not secure.

Open and Resolved Caveats in Release 2.2 DNS[1] is: x.x.x.x Displays the IP address of DNS server 1. DNS[2] is: x.x.x.x Displays the IP address of DNS server 2. DNS[3] is: x.x.x.x Displays the IP address of DNS server 3. Domain Name is: – Displays the DNS domain if defined. SNMP is: DISABLED Displays whether SNMP is disabled or enabled. Open and Resolved Caveats in Release 2.
PAGE 13
Open and Resolved Caveats in Release 2.1 Resolved Caveats in the Cisco CTE 1400 This section describes the caveats resolved in Cisco CTE 1400 release 2.2. • CSCdx25191 In the CTE console, if you set HTTP parameters before setting networking parameters, your settings will not take effect until you restart the CTE. Resolution: The order for setting these CTE parameters is no longer relevant, and you can set them in any order.
PAGE 14
Open and Resolved Caveats in Release 2.1 Resolved Caveats in the Cisco CTE 1400 This section describes the caveats resolved in Cisco CTE 1400 release 2.2. • CSCdv61609 The CTE does not retain a backup version of a configuration file. When you publish a configuration file, it overwrites the previous configuration file. Resolution: Design Studio keeps a backup version of a configuration file. When you publish a configuration file, you have the option of merging or overwriting the previous file.
PAGE 15
Open and Resolved Caveats in Release 2.1 • CSCdu87834 The CTE processes web pages only from servers that return a valid content type, either “text/html” or “text/xml.” The CTE does not transform a web page with any other content type and passes it to wireless devices as is. Resolution: Set up your server to return a supported content type. Resolved Caveats in Design Studio This section describes the resolved caveats in Design Studio release 2.2.
PAGE 16
Open and Resolved Caveats in Release 2.0 • CSCdu87896 After applying a rule or clicking a tab, the Edit or View Original tab is blank. Resolution: The Edit and View Original tabs display correctly. • CSCdu87903 When you click a link in either the Edit tab or View Original tab, Design Studio sometimes displays the link destination instead of selecting the link. Resolution: Design Studio selects links that are clicked in the Edit or View Original tabs.
PAGE 17
Open and Resolved Caveats in Release 1.1.6 • CSCdv64990 Design Studio allows you to publish a configuration file that does not contain any identifier rules. Without an identifier rule, a configuration file matches all pages. As a result, a wireless device user can retrieve any page through the CTE, even if console option 12 (Enable Unrestricted Proxy Support) is disabled. Workaround: Include at least one identifier rule per page in a configuration file.
PAGE 18
Open and Resolved Caveats in Release 1.1.6 • CSCdu87815 Decimal character references below 160 will be encoded differently in release 1.1.6. The encoding change will affect any rules that include these special characters. Resolution: The encoding for decimal character references has changed. Design Studio converts the encoding when you open a release 1.1.5 configuration file in release 1.1.6. • CSCdu87822 The CTE could not access a website from behind a proxy firewall.
PAGE 19
Open and Resolved Caveats in Release 1.1.6 Resolved Caveats in Design Studio Note The *** in this section indicate that the caveat was reported and resolved after release 1.1.5. This section describes the resolved caveats in release 1.1.6 of Design Studio. • CSCdu87874 When uploading a configuration file to the CTE, Design Studio appeared to hang. Resolution: Design Studio displays a progress bar, so you can monitor the progress of the upload.
PAGE 20
Open Caveats in Release 1.1.5 • CSCdv61642*** Clicking the Close button in the Save As dialog box did not close the dialog box and displayed a Conflict message box. Resolution: The Close button in the Save As dialog box works correctly. • CSCdv61652***, CSCdv61661*** The Find dialog box did not work correctly when the search string included a space or the following special characters: /, <, >, =. Resolution: The Find dialog box handles spaces and special characters.
PAGE 21
Additional Documentation Open Caveats in Design Studio This section describes the known limitations in Design Studio release 1.1.5. • CSCdu87891 The drop-down menus in the Log in to the Cisco CTE 1400 dialog box do not retain previously selected values. For example, if you change the value of the User Name field, the previously selected value no longer appears in the menu. This problem occurs as the result of a known issue with JRE/JDK version 1.2.2. Workaround: Enter a value.
