Communication system of automatic network-setting type telephone equipment

Abstract

The invention is a communication system of automatically setting network telephone device, using HTTP communication protocol as a transmission protocol after a network telephone device is accessed to an Internet, sending an XML-formed setting request file by the network telephone device through the Internet to a setting server of the operator of a network communication system, verifying the ID of the request file by the setting server, after verifying there is no mistake, reading setting parameters from a user state database by the setting server and storing the setting parameters in an XML-formed setting response file, and returning them to the network telephone device, letting the network telephone device self-set according to the setting parameters in it, once completing the setting, able to register with a call server of the operator of the network communication system, and thus automatically completing the setting procedure of the network telephone device.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a communication system for automatically setting basic data of network telephone equipment, in particular to a standard Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, after the network telephone equipment is connected to the Internet). Hereinafter referred to as HTTP) as the transmission protocol, and use Extensible Markup Language (Extensible Markup Language, hereinafter referred to as XLM) format hyperfile to transmit the setting parameters of the network-type telephone equipment, so that the network-type telephone equipment can be from a network The server set by the communication system operator obtains the set parameters and automatically completes the set communication system. Background technique [0002] The Voice Over IP Device (VoIP Device), which is generally suitable for homes or small businesses, enables users to make long-distance calls through the Internet without the need for expensive internatio...

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this setting method is that the management personnel must directly go to the location where the Internet phone equipment is placed to set or modify it, which causes a great waste of manpower and time.

[0010] (2) An HTTP server (or TELNET server) is provided by the network telephone equipment, so that the management personnel can use the computer to access the Internet, and log in the setting screen of the network telephone equipment through a network browser (or TELNET), and To set or modify, the disadvantage is that the administrator must know the IP address of each network-type telephone device in order to log in to the setting screen of the telephone device correctly, and any telephone device cannot be connected with another telephone device. The same IP address will cause great trouble to the manager

[0012] (1) Use the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) protocol to obtain the device setting value, current status and setting parameters from the server. However, for Internet-based telephone equipment, because SNMP is more complicated, it is difficult to use and expand. Not only is it not good on the network, but also the combination effect between it and the user state database set on the server is not ideal.

[0013] (2) Use the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) protocol to dynamically obtain the network address and other settings from the server. Although this protocol is relatively simple, the combination effect between it and the user status database set on the server is not ideal.

In addition, the following disadvantages still occur when DHCP is used to automatically configure Internet-based telephone equipment. For example, when DHCP is used to configure other settings (Vendor extension options) other than address information, each vendor's definition is different. Not the same, there is no definite standard, and the DHCP modules are usually different under different operating systems. If you want to transfer an automatic setting function specially designed for a certain system to another system, it will inevitably cost a lot of manpower. and time to correct and adjust it

[0014] (3) Some Internet-based telephony equipment uses a self-defined automatic setting protocol (Proprietary Mechanisms) in order to avoid the above problems. However, since there is no standard protocol to follow, it is necessary to additionally develop an automatic setting protocol. Server, for Internet telephony equipment with a considerable number of users, the technology, time and cost required to develop the server become difficult to master
