Claim:
1. A method for operating an intermediate computing device to configure an end-user device, the method being implemented by one or more processors of the intermediate computing device and comprising: accessing, using the intermediate computing device, a network service to determine account information of the end-user device; determining, using the intermediate computing device, a set of configuration parameters based on the determined account information of the end-user device; generating at least a portion of an acoustic configuration file that embeds the configuration parameters; and playing back the acoustic configuration file to generate an acoustic signal that conveys the configuration parameters to the end-user device, wherein the generating at least a portion of the acoustic configuration file includes: receiving a first acoustic configuration file from a network server, the first acoustic configuration file including a first set of configuration parameters; determining, on the intermediate computing device, a second set of configuration parameters; and generating a second acoustic configuration file that includes the first acoustic configuration file, the second acoustic configuration file including the first set of configuration parameters and the second set of configuration parameters.
