Claims define the patent's legal scope. Independent claims stand alone; dependent claims (nested) narrow them. Click a claim to expand its dependents.
A single "vertically integrated entity" provides functions of SR, AN and SN: After discover is received, INAP-RS confirms with SR server that CM device has active account, I NAP -RS authorizes the TSP DHCP Offer response to the MTA which next requests an IP address. The TSP DHCP server assigns the permanent IP address.
45678910. U.S. Application No. 12/391,056 AMENDMENTS TO THE CLAIMS This listing of claims will replace all prior versions, and listing, of claims in the application: Claims pending o At time of the Action: Claims 1-10 o After this Reply: Claims 1-10 Currently Canceled or Withdrawn Claims: None Currently Amended Claims: 7 New Claims: None
Access Network INA P-RS locates primary SN via multicast: Primary SN DHCP recognizes requesting device and returns "DHCP Offer" to authorizes network access. INAP-RS returns response to MTA which next sends a DHCP Req message. I NAP-RS must request local IP permanent address assignment that provides access per terms of the TPA. INAP-RS requests registration.from 72 Attorney Docket No.: 538-003-CP₁ Primary SN and returns a new DHCP ACK response by combining information from Primary SN which also supplies the FQDNs of device and CA, etc..) with local addresses. INAP-RS registers the local address with the host DNS. The phone numbers used for the SR hot line must be identified by the SR based on the TPA. This, allows a customer to select any SR and be routed to their business office. Within the Primary SP, the hot-line TN association with device and port are stored in the Registration MIB. (At this point the specific customer service association is not yet identified.). Under terms of the TPA, the gateway and RKS must be provisioned to measure usage for foreign access billing to Primary SP. Device provisioning must be completed using standard configuration files and process established from the Primary SP.
New Access Request resulting in brokered service: If no "D H CP Offer" is received within response window then AN may assign a temporary IP license restricting access to broker service and subscription services. If neither, then the local method with temporary license and binding to CA which provides for IVR handling is used for 611, 911, and broker services. " The customer picks up phone, and hears a welcome message and is transferred to the SR Business Office to order service. Service is negotiated and the SMS sends the Work Order containing the a unique key code such as the ANI of the hot-line concatenated with a date-time stamp or a key used from the NAS-RS. Key code is later supplied by provisioning OSS to retrieve the related MIB from INAS inventory. If key code includes 73 Attorney Docket No.: 538-003-CP₁ that the clocks are not precisely synchronized. The customer service representative is provided with data that indicates for the type of equipment discovered the type of services that can be ordered. Upon completion, customer hangs up phone. " The order flows to provisioning OSS within the Primary SP. The key code is the retrieval key permitting correlation to the Registration MIB. " The OSS interacts with NMAS and provisions CMTS (Call Management Terminating System) and assigns routable I P address and downloads correct customer specific configuration file to the MTA. " The MTA phone that was provisioned is signaled and the customer is played an IVR message confirming that service is active and prompts for customer acknowledgment of service quality. If customer indicates satisfactory service, then the LNP transfer occurs to complete the telephony service. If customer indicates unsatisfactory service, then the customer is transferred to repair. The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing form the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The present-embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein. Claims What is claimed is:
