OTAP any good ideas for content ?

meggerman · ‎02-08-2008

hi,

I support the cisco wireless network at a city hospital and have been interested to read about OTAP which seemingly is a method of distributing updates and content to wireless devices.

we run cisco 7921g`s and would like any feedback or ideas as to the types of things that may be of interest or use (im not talking specifics but methods) i.e news updates / bulletins

does it work like that i.e is that the best way to deliver news updates or messages to an IP phone.

sorry if this is a strange suggestion but if i have the feature sets i may aswell use them !

many thanks

Hi Megz,

As far as I know, OTAP is only used as a means of WLC Discovery for AP's.

Understanding Over-the-Air Provisioning (OTAP)
