SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A PARING MECHANISM IN A VIDEO ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method is provided in one example and includes identifying an event associated with a universal serial bus (USB) connection, and establishing an Ethernet channel. The method also includes discovering a handset associated with a videoconferencing platform, and verifying an authentication message from the handset. A service set identifier (SSID) and a password can be created and communicated to the handset through the Ethernet channel. The SSID and the password are used to associate the handset with a console element configured to control operations associated with the videoconferencing platform.
