Phone Services
The phone can make HTTP requests to a remote web-server to display text, menus and images as well as check whether a CGI Execute requests will be allowed. URLs assigned to fixed-keys (eg: services, directories) and line keys are defined in SEPMAC.cnf.xml. An archive containing a sample WSGI application can be downloaded from the URL below.file_download services-2.7.tar.gz (17K) event 09/04/2025 security SHA256:f1c27e826baf7a210c867e927c7996264fad549ac0e9c4c2950f3eb37a395de0.
