1. Introduction
This document shows how the Nokia 9210i Communicator can be configured remotely using Symbian’s Bearer
Independent Object (BIO) messaging. Remote configuration helps the end user to get the most of the device as quickly
as possible. Complex settings, such as Internet settings, can be ‘pushed’ to the device by the operator or the help desk
of an Internet service provider or a corporate IT department.
The configuration messages are sent to the Nokia 9210i Communicator using the GSM Short Message Service (SMS).
For maximising the compatibility and minimising the transition period for help desks, the BIO messaging support of
the Nokia 9210i Communicator is similar to Nokia Smart Messaging, which is supported by earlier Nokia
communicators. The development of the Symbian platform may introduce new BIO message types in the future that
leverage the new features of the Nokia 9210i Communicator and the Symbian OS. WAP settings can be configured
using OTA (over-the-air) configuration syntax.
2. Further Information and Support
The supported message syntax is based on SmartMessagingSpecification 3.0.0, Nokia Mobile Phones, 2000. The
document is available from the Forum Nokia Web site at http://www.forum.nokia.com/, Smart Messaging section.
The syntax for WAP settings is based on the WAP Over-the-air settings specification, available from the Forum Nokia
Web site at http://www.forum.nokia.com/, Smart Messaging section.
For details on what the Internet settings mean, please refer to the SettingUp Dial-InService document in the Nokia
9210i Communicator launch manual.
3. Creating Configuration Messages
The creation and syntax of Smart Messaging-type configuration messages is specified in the Smart Messaging
specification. That document contains the details on how the messages should be created and sent.
The following sections list the deviations from that specification.
3.1 Configuration Over SMS Only
At the moment, the only way to transfer a configuration message to the Nokia 9210i Communicator is over the GSM
Short Message Service. Transferring the configuration messages over HTTP (on the Web) or as e-mail attachments is
not supported yet.
The Nokia 9210i Communicator is a WAP device and as such all smart messages should be sent to WDP ports, as
specified in the Smart Messaging specification. If this is not possible, keyword headers (also known as compatibility
headers) can also be used. NBS port numbers, on the other hand, should not be used.
3.2 Non-Supported Feature Sets
Some of the following feature sets were specified in older versions of the Smart Messaging document. They are listed
for the sake of completeness.

• TTML (Tagged Text Markup Language) is considered as deprecated. WAP and WML have replaced TTML. The Nokia
9210i Communicator does not support TTML.
• DMCP (Dynamic Menu Control Protocol) is not supported by the Nokia 9210i Communicator. The majority of
features are activated on the PDA side of the communicator, and therefore dynamic menus on the phone side are
not supported.
• Service cards are not supported. Service card functionality can be used with normal business cards that have a
phone number field for each service. To converge with the defacto standards, the Nokia 9210i Communicator
supports the vCard business card format, which can be used for this purpose.
• Extended Configuration Syntax is not supported at the moment, expect for the Short Message Centre number
setting.
3.3 Further Deviations
• The Notify text field in the basic Internet configuration message is now optional, not mandatory. Hence, the first
line of the definition now reads:
<iap-message> ::= [<iap-compatibility-header>] [<notify-text>] <info-body>
• The script version in Internet configuration settings is not used in the Nokia 9210i Communicator.
