Design and implementation of VoIP device management scheme in SOHO environments

ABSTRACT

Internet telephone uses VoIP as its communication protocol, where it provides various additional services with inexpensive fare when the terminal is connected to the Internet. The existing auto-provisioning systems that manage Internet telephone terminals are targeting large size VoIP service providers or enterprises, and have few considerations on the convenience of management for small size environments. The difficult installation and management procedure of the current auto-provisioning systems prevents Internet telephone system from getting popular. Easy installation and management system is needed in order to spread out Internet telephone system. In this paper, we design and implement the auto-provisioning system that provides easy installation and management services in small size environments such as SOHO environments.
