3.1.5.2 Setting Device Information
This section specifies how the client uses the Settings command (section 2.2.2.16) to set device
information on the server.
Clients SHOULD send settings:DeviceInformation (section 2.2.3.43) parameters to the server as
soon as possible after the client has been provisioned, and before the FolderSync command
(section 2.2.2.4), so that the server can use this information to determine what the device has
access to.
The client sets device information by sending an initial Settings command request to the server
with the settings:Set element (section 2.2.3.142) identifying settings:DeviceInformation
parameters as specified in section 2.2.3.43.
