Access-to-network authentication method for video terminal, authentication server and video terminal

Abstract

The invention relates to a video terminal networking authentication method, an authentication server and a video terminal. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a hardware serial number reported by the video terminal; matching in a legal serial number list according to the hardware serial number; and when uniform hardware serial numbers are obtained after matching, confirming the video terminal authentication to pass. The authentication server comprises a receiving module used for receiving the hardware serial number reported by the video terminal, and an authentication module connected with the receiving module and used for matching in the legal serial number list according to the hardware serial number. The video terminal comprises: a serial number module used for storing the hardware serial number, a reporting module connected with the serial number module and used for reporting the hardware serial number when logging on the authentication server. By adopting the technical means of arranging the authentication server to verify the hardware serial number at the video terminal, the invention avoids haphazardry of terminal equipment networking, is beneficial to centralized management by an operator and improves the quality of video service.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a video terminal network authentication method, an authentication server and a video terminal. Background technique [0002] With the development of communication technology, the video service is in the process of continuous improvement. For example, the existing video telephony service is opened as an additional new function of the broadband service, and the user's video terminal can generally pass through an asymmetric digital subscriber line (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, hereinafter referred to as ADSL) or a local area network (Local Area Network, hereinafter LAN for short) to access the softswitch (NGN for short) network to obtain video telephony services. Usually, after the terminal accesses the network, ordinary Internet access services will be routed to the Internet (Internet) network, and video telephony services will be routed to the softswitch network for...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Other video services are similar to the implementation process of the above-mentioned video phone service, but there are the following defects: different types of video terminals produced by various equipment manufacturers can access the network through their own network management equipment to realize video services. Therefore, the video terminal The legitimacy and performance of the network cannot be guaranteed. Various softphone clients and various software versions downloaded from the network can be freely accessed without testing. Operators cannot achieve unified management of video terminals, and at the same time cause The decline in the quality of audio and video communication has affected the further promotion of video services
