Problems solved by technology

[0011] The third method is manual configuration which necessarily involves some level of user knowledge and interaction and is not automatic configuration at all
Such a step increase in the offered load may overwhelm provisioning resources, causing delays in service recovery and possibly destabilizing services and thus causing failures of those services

Embodiment Construction

[0040] now refer to figure 1 , generally indicated at 50 a configurable IP telephony system according to one embodiment. System 50 includes a network 52, such as a small business computing network or a home computing network. Network 52 is typically served by a generic firewall / NAT 54 and DHCP server 58 . Firewall / NAT 54 is in turn connected to Wide Area Network (WAN) 62, such as the Internet or a larger corporate network. WAN 62 provides the interconnection point for various network elements from service provider 66 and device provider 70 .

[0041] The network 52 includes a plurality of devices connected thereto. In this embodiment, these devices include at least one computer 77 and at least one IP phone 78-1, 78-2 (collectively referred to as a plurality of IP phones 78, generally referred to as IP phones 78) . Computer 77 and IP phone 78 are connected to WAN 82 via DHCP 58 and firewall 54, so computer 77 and phone 78 are able to interact with hardware connected to WAN ...

Abstract

The invention relates to configuration of IP telephony and other systems. The present specification provides a system for the configuration of multiple devices on a local network. The system can permit configuration by unskilled personnel. The configuration is resilient in that the devices can cooperate to preserve configurations for devices which are temporarily removed. The system includes a local configuration server which will restore the configuration of previously configured devices as they return to the network, or assist newly connected devices in obtaining initial configuration. The local configuration server can be a component of an already existing end user device, or can be a separate entity, and can be elected from the set of all so capable devices present in the network. The currently active local configuration server can be configured to distribute current data to other devices capable of serving as the local configuration server in the network, for resiliency, in case of failure or disconnection and to allow for a new device to be elected. For resiliency across power failures and other causes of local network failure, a network-based aggregator is also described.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates generally to computing devices, and more particularly to the configuration of end-user devices, such as telecommunications devices, Internet Protocol ("IP") telephony devices, and other systems. Background technique [0002] Those skilled in the field of IP telephony are well aware that "Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants. These sessions include Internet telephony calls, multimedia Distribution and Multimedia Conferencing." (See Request for Proposal: 3261 (http: / / tools.ietf.org / html / rfc3261) at Internet Engineering Task Force ("IETF") www.ietf.org). SIP may provide a signaling and call setup protocol for IP-based communications capable of supporting at least some call processing functions and features of the Public Switched Telephone Network ("PSTN") as well as many advanced World Wide Web (...
