Abstract: A method for identifying and remotely provisioning IP terminals like video conference endpoints connected to a common LAN. A provisioning server sends email with a provisioning URL to user being asked to activate the URL; the computer receiving the email is connected to the LAN. Activation establishes an http session between the computer and a provisioning server, the server delivering a Java applet to the computer. When the Java applet is executed, it extracts the IP address of the computer. The Java applet then scans the LAN for video communication endpoints by sending out signaling protocol request like SIP or H.323 requests addressed with IP addresses belonging to the same IP address segment as the computer's IP address. The computer then provision the IP units responding to the signaling protocol requests by inserting XML files into the endpoints adjusted to the certain systems units identified via the endpoints' API.
