Configuring Device Definitions

The CTE determines how to transcode a site for a particular device based on settings in a Device Definition File (DDF). For example, the CTE uses the specifications in a DDF to determine whether to use cHTML or WML for a device and how to handle the images it sends to a device. You can use Design Studio to tune those specifications, such as to define different display characteristics for various WAP phones.

Design Studio also enables you to import a DDF and either replace the current DDF or merge changes into it.

A DDF specifies device information such as the following:


Note    When requesting information from a server, a device identifies itself to the server by a user agent, which consists of two strings containing the vendor name and model number. The CTE looks up the user agent in the DDF file to determine which set of specifications to use when transcoding pages for the device. Some devices use a unique user agent; others use a generic user agent. If a device uses a generic user agent, the CTE bases the transcoding on the protocol specified for the device.

The following sections describe how to work with a DDF file:

Changing a Device Definition

You ordinarily will not need to change a DDF unless you want to make changes such as the following:

To change a device definition, perform these steps:


Step 1   From the File menu in the Design Studio window, choose Edit DDF.

The Edit DDF window opens.


Step 2   In the left pane of the Edit DDF window, click the device type you want to change.

Step 3   In the right pane of the Edit DDF window, scroll to the value you want to change and right-click it.


Step 4   Choose Edit Value from the shortcut menu.

Step 5   In the Edit Value dialog box, type the new value and click OK.

Step 6   To save the DDF on your computer, choose Save DDF to Disk from the File menu.

Step 7   To publish the DDF to the CTE, choose Upload to Server from the File menu.

Step 8   To return to Design Studio, choose Return to Studio from the File menu.



Adding a Device Definition

You add a device definition to support a new device that is not included in the DDF or to uniquely define a device that is already listed in the useragent element for a device type. For example, the useragent element for WAP devices lists several types of devices. You could remove "Ericsson" from that list and create a device definition just for Ericsson.

To add a device definition, perform these steps:


Step 1   From the File menu in the Design Studio window, choose Edit DDF.

The Edit DDF window opens.

Step 2   From the Edit menu in the Edit DDF window, choose Add New Device.

"New Device" displays at the end of the device list in the left pane.


Step 3   In the right pane of the Edit DDF window, right-click the value New Device.


Step 4   Choose Edit Value from the shortcut menu.

Step 5   In the Edit Value dialog box, type the name of the device and click OK.

Step 6   Scroll to a value you want to change, right-click it, and choose Edit Value from the shortcut menu.

Step 7   In the Edit Value dialog box, type the new value and click OK.

Step 8   Repeat Step 6 and Step 7 for each value you want to change.

Step 9   If you are defining a device that is already listed in the useragent element of another device type, select that device type in the left pane of the Edit DDF window and remove the device from the useragent element.

Step 10   To save the DDF on your computer, choose Save DDF to Disk from the File menu.

Step 11   To publish the DDF to the CTE, choose Upload to Server from the File menu.

Step 12   To return to Design Studio, choose Return to Studio from the File menu.
