3.1.5.2 Setting Device Information

  • Article

This section specifies how the client uses the Settings command (section 2.2.1.18) to set device information on the server.

Clients SHOULD<21> send settings:DeviceInformation (section 2.2.3.45) parameters to the server before the FolderSync command (section 2.2.1.5), so that the server can use this information to determine what the device has access to.<22> If the server allows non-provisionable devices, the non-provisionable client SHOULD send DeviceInformation parameters to the server; otherwise, the client SHOULD send DeviceInformation parameters to the server as soon as possible after the client has been provisioned.

The client sets device information by sending an initial Settings command request to the server with the settings:Set element (section 2.2.3.167) identifying settings:DeviceInformation parameters as specified in section 2.2.3.45.
