Publishing and Previewing Your Work


The following sections describe how to publish a configuration file to the Cisco CTE 1400 and use simulators to preview your page transformations:

Publishing a Configuration File to a Cisco CTE 1400

When you publish a configuration file to a Cisco CTE 1400, the CTE immediately begins using it to transform web page requests from wireless devices. Publishing a configuration file does not interrupt service on the CTE and does not result in corrupted content. Because a published configuration file is instantly "live," set up a CTE that you use only for testing.

You can choose to merge a configuration file with the one currently loaded on a CTE, or overwrite the configuration file loaded on a CTE. Merging configuration files is necessary if multiple users work on different parts of the same site. When you merge configuration files, Design Studio warns about identifier rule conflicts and gives you the opportunity to repair the conflicts.

To publish a configuration file, perform these steps:


Step 1   From the File menu, choose Publish Configuration.

Design Studio displays the File Upload dialog box.


Step 2   Choose how you want Design Studio to handle the upload:

Step 3   If Design Studio warns you about identifier rule conflicts, follow the online instructions.

Step 4   Wait until Design Studio displays a message that the configuration is uploaded.

Step 5   Click OK.

Design Studio updates the CTE with the file you downloaded.


Note   If the configuration does not upload successfully, the CTE may be offline or you may have lost your connection to the CTE. For assistance, contact your CTE administrator.



Previewing Page Transformations

Design Studio lets you test and browse transformed pages from your desktop using the following simulators and browsers:

By previewing a page, you can verify its appearance and how content is chunked when a transformed page does not fit in a microbrowser screen. You can also follow any links to test them. The CTE prepends its IP address to a link URL so that the page request goes directly to the CTE.

The following sections describe how to use the simulators and browsers to preview page transformations:

Using the Openwave Mobile Browser Simulator

The Openwave Mobile Browser Simulator mimics the display of a variety of wireless phones, including Alcatel, Ericsson, Motorola, and Openwave phones.

To preview a page, perform these steps:


Step 1   Publish the configuration file to the Cisco CTE 1400, as described in the "Publishing a Configuration File to a Cisco CTE 1400" section, and do not exit Design Studio.

The simulator must access transformed pages through the Design Studio connection to the CTE.

Step 2   Double-click the shortcut you created in the "Installing the Openwave Mobile Browser Simulator" section.

Step 3   In the Openwave SDK window, choose Go To Address from the Simulator menu.

Step 4   In the Go To Address dialog box, enter the URL to the page you want to preview. You must include the CTE IP address and port number as shown in the following example:

http:// CTE_ip_address:port_number/http:// page_url


Step 5   Click OK.

The CTE redirects the request to secure mode, transforms the requested page, and sends it to the simulator.


Note   Visited locations are listed in the Address drop-down menu in the Openwave SDK window. To quickly return to a location, select it from the menu.



Table 7-1 describes the function of the Openwave Simulator navigation keys and their PC keyboard equivalents.

Using the Go.Web Simulator

The Go.Web Simulator mimics the display of a RIM 950 pager and a RIM 957 handheld device.

To preview a page, perform these steps:


Step 1   Publish the configuration file to the Cisco CTE 1400, as described in the "Publishing a Configuration File to a Cisco CTE 1400" section, and do not exit Design Studio.

The simulator must access transformed pages through the Design Studio connection to the CTE.

Step 2   Double-click the shortcut you created in the "Installing the Go.Web Simulator" section.

Step 3   In the Go.Web Simulator window, click the Handheld button.

Step 4   Using the down arrow on your PC keyboard, move the cursor in the simulator window until Click here to start is highlighted.

Step 5   Press Enter on your PC keyboard.

The simulator window displays a message that it is generating security keys.

Step 6   When the Go.Web Home page displays, use the down arrow to select the http input field.


Step 7   Press Enter on your keyboard.

A larger input box displays.

Step 8   In the input box, enter the URL to the page you want to preview. You must include the CTE IP address and port number as shown in the following example. Note that the initial "http://" is already provided on the Go.Web Home page.


Step 9   Press Enter on your keyboard.

Step 10   On your keyboard, press the down arrow to select Open URL.


Step 11   Press Enter on your keyboard.

The CTE redirects the request to secure mode, transforms the requested page, and sends it to the simulator.



Table 7-2 describes the function of the Go.Web Simulator navigation keys and their PC keyboard equivalents.

Use mouse to point to the key, and then left-click the key. You can also use the character keys on the keyboard to enter text into a text field on the device.

Using a Browser

To preview a page in a browser window, perform these steps:


Step 1   Publish the configuration file to the Cisco CTE 1400, as described in the "Publishing a Configuration File to a Cisco CTE 1400" section, and do not exit Design Studio.

The browser must access transformed pages through the Design Studio connection to the CTE.

Step 2   Open a browser window, either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.

Step 3   Enter the URL to the page you want to preview. You must include the CTE IP address and port number as shown in the following example:

http:// CTE_ip_address:port_number/http:// page_url

Step 4   Press Enter on your keyboard.

The CTE redirects the request to secure mode, transforms the requested page, and sends it to the browser.
