System for service activation programming of wireless network access devices using an external module

摘要

A system and method for programming a wireless network access device which has both a keypad for manually entering data and commands to the device, and a device Input/Output data interface bus port for communicating data and command signals between an external source and the device databus including a module having a processor that contains and operates in accord with a control program. The processor further has in memory, prestored data and command signals necessary for programming the device. A cable, or connector couples the module to the device Input/Output data interface bus port for transferring information between the module processor and the device databus. The processor control program transfers data and command signals stored in the module's memory to the device databus for at least partially programming the device.
