Administer a Wireless Domain

Connect provides the ability to maintain the list of wireless domains and SMS Aggregators in Admin > System Configuration > Wireless Domains. Administrator's can do the following:

Import the list of wireless domains provided by the FCC.
Create a new wireless domain.
Delete a wireless domain.

Import a List of Wireless Domains

Connect enables the administrator to import multiple wireless domains from an external URL. The list of wireless domains are provided in XML format.

Follow these directions to import wireless domains.

From the main Connect screen, select Admin > System Configuration > Wireless Domains. The Wireless Domain screen appears.
Click the Import button. The import screen appears.
In the Wireless Domain XML field, type the URL for the wireless domain XML file.
Click OK. The XML file must be well-formed and in a predefined format. The XML file is imported.

For more information, refer to http://ftp.fcc.gov/Bureaus/CGB/DomainNames/DomainNames.xml for a sample wireless domain XML file.

Connect creates the list of wireless domains available in the XML file and ignores the domains that already exist in the Connect database. Connect displays the list of wireless domains that are successfully imported.

Note: When upgrading from prior releases, ensure that there is no e-mail client (in EMAIL_CLIENT_MASTER table) with id=4 because Connect adds a new e-mail client with id=4 for short text content.

Create a Wireless Domain

Follow these directions to create a new wireless domain.

From the main Connect screen, select Admin > System Configuration > Wireless Domains. The Wireless Domain screen appears.
Click the Create New Wireless Domain button. The Wireless Domain screen appears.
In the Wireless Domain Name field, type a new and unique wireless domain name.
Click OK to save the new domain name field. The Wireless Domain screen appears with the new domain name added.
Connect sets the following for any wireless domain.
- Content type for the wireless domain is set to 4 (Short Text).
- MPA support is disabled.

Note: Connect does not allow you to modify the wireless domain name.

Delete a Wireless Domain

Follow these directions to delete a wireless domain.

In the Wireless Domain list screen, click the delete icon on the row you want to delete. A confirmation dialog box appears.
In the confirmation dialog box, click OK. The domain is removed from the list.

Note: The domain is not deleted from Connect system. It is not listed in the Wireless Domain list.
