ABSTRACT:
Mobile devices are automatically provisioned for network access using WiFi and/or DTPT (DeskTop-PassThrough) connection settings. The connection settings allow the users to access meta-networks (such as the Internet or a corporate network) without any manual intervention. According to an embodiment of the invention, an XML-based mechanism uses the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) XML structure and extends the structure to define WiFi and DTPT connections. The defined WiFi and DTPT connections are provisioned onto the mobile devices automatically, for example, through wireless communications or by a corporate IT application.
