摘要

A system and method for providing service provider configured telephone service to a user of a data network telephone. The user connects a data network telephone to the data network. The data network telephone sends a request to register for service with a telephone connection server. The request includes a version identifier identifying the configuration version as having a particular set of functions and features for the data network telephone. The telephone connection server determines whether the version of the configuration is up to date. If it is not it may replace the configuration of the data network telephone. The telephony connection server may also query the user as to whether or not to update the configuration.
