NAP Configuration Service Provider

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.

Note   Access to this Configuration Service Provider is determined by Security roles. Because OEMs and Mobile Operators can selectively disallow access, ask them about the availability of this Configuration Service Provider. For more information about roles, see Security Roles and Default Roles for Configuration Service Providers.

The following table compares the OMA Client Provisioning (formerly WAP) and the OMA DM provisioning for cellular or other data networks.

Connection type WAP configuration service provider OMA DM configuration service provider
CSD Connections CM_PPPEntries Configuration Service Provider NAP
GPRS Connections CM_GPRSEntries Configuration Service Provider NAP
RAS Connections CM_PPPEntries Configuration Service Provider and CM_GPRSEntries NAP
1xRTT Connections CM_PPPEntries Configuration Service Provide NAP
DTPT Connections CM_NetEntries Configuration Service Provider NAP

Note   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) protocol, use the CM_* Configuration Service Providers instead.

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

  • NAP/NAPXXX
    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).
