  • Patent number: 11470200
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for a key system module which enables a presentable key system on devices provisioned with softphone and embedded voice applications. A method includes provisioning a key system module for operation with the softphone to enable the key system, establishing, by the softphone application using a service provider Internet Protocol (IP) telephony server, a non-shared line association with the key system, establishing, by the softphone application using the service provider IP telephony server, associations with key lines in the key system, receiving, from the service provider IP telephony server, key line statuses, generating, by the key system module, a key line user interface based on at least the statuses of the key lines, and presenting, by the softphone application and the key system module on a device associated with the softphone client, the key line user interface with the key lines in the key system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10432465
    Abstract: A control system for automatic provisioning of a network access point comprises a processor device that receives network configuration data from a first computing device. The network configuration data includes a first network parameter value for a first network parameter. The control system also receives, from a second computing device, a request to provision a network access point with the first network parameter value for the first network parameter and with a second network parameter value for a second network parameter. The first network parameter and second network parameter are different from each other. The control system automatically generates the second network parameter value based on the request and the first network parameter value. The control system next provides the first network parameter value and the second network parameter value to the network access point.
