NAP Configuration Service Provider

4/8/2010

The NAP (Network Access Point) Configuration Service Provider is used to provision the following types of connections:

• CSD connections on GSM and CDMA networks
• GPRS connections
• RAS connections
• 1xRTT connections
• Desktop Passthrough (DTPT) connections

The ACCESS Configuration Service Provider must be configured before configuring the NAP object. The ACCESS Configuration Service Provider maps a particular connection (using the ConRef field) to a metanetwork, such as the Internet or Work.

Network access points provisioned using the NAP configuration service provider can be deleted using the Windows Mobile user interface. However, the corresponding ACCESS mappings to metanetworks cannot be deleted through the user interface. When reprovisioning a network access point after it has been deleted, you must delete and reprovision the corresponding ACCESS mappings before reconfiguring the network using NAP.

This Configuration Service Provider is part of the OMA DM protocol, with some proprietary extensions, and must be used when provisioning devices using OMA DM. To provision devices using the OMA Client Provisioning (formerly WAP Client Provisioning) protocol use the CM_* Configuration Service Providers instead. The following table provides links to the CM_* Configuration Service Providers for cellular or other data networks.

The following image shows the management object used by OMA DM.

• NAP
  The root node for NAP object. The following table shows the default settings.

  Data Type	Node
  Roles allowed to query and update setting	Manager Operator TPS AuthenticatedUser
  Access Type	Read/Write
  Occurs	Once

• NAP/NAP XXX
  Specifies the network access point. The suggested name of this node is NAPXXX, a numbered node beginning at zero. For example, if you wanted to provision two network access points, you would use two nodes, NAP0 and NAP1. You can use any unique name (such as "GPRS-NAP") for this node, but no spaces may appear in the node name (use %20 instead).

• NAP/NAP XXX /NAPID
  Specifies the identifier of the destination network. The value of the NAPID must match a ConRef specified using the ACCESS Configuration Service Provider. The NAPID must be unique.

  The following table shows the default settings.

• NAP/NAP XXX /BEARER/BEARERTYPE
  Specifies the network type of the destination network. Valid values are CDMA2000, CSD, DTPT, GPRS, TDMA, WCDMA and WiFi.

  The following table shows the BEARERTYPE to use with some commonly used connection types.

  Connection Type	BEARERTYPE
  CSD Connections	CSD

• NAP/NAPXXX/Ext
  Stores extended parameters.

• NAP/NAPXXX/Ext/Microsoft
  Stores Microsoft-specific parameters.

• NAP/NAPXXX/Ext/Microsoft/GUID
  The GUID for the unique ID of the network to which this entry connects.

• NAP/NAPXXX/Ext/Microsoft/AlwaysOn
  Specifies whether the connection supports AlwaysOn. Permitted values are false (AlwaysOn not supported) and true (AlwaysOn supported). For more information about AlwaysOn, see Making an AlwaysOn Data Connection.

• NAP/NAPXXX/Ext/Microsoft/ReadOnly
  This parameter determines whether users are able to modify NAP settings. Permitted values are 0 for false and 1 for true. If the value is set to 1, users will be able to view, but not change, the NAP settings on the device.
