Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for configuring a communication system, the method comprising: configuring a Private Branch eXchange (PBX) system to respond to a configuration telephone number by routing call control for the configuration number to a predetermined Service Management Platform (SMP), wherein the configuration number is uniquely assigned to the SMP; determining at the SMP, an enterprise extension associated with an enterprise account in the domain of the SMP; directing by the SMP, a mobile communication device associated with the enterprise account to call the configuration telephone number, and to communicate the determined enterprise extension and an authentication token of the enterprise account; receiving, at the PBX system, a call on the configuration telephone number; routing by the PBX system, the call to the SMP, the SMP recording meta-data accompanying the call; receiving the determined enterprise extension at the SMP; determining at the SMP, the PBX system port of the call based on the recorded metadata; directing the mobile communication device to automatically communicate the authentication token without command by the SMP and without command by a user: receiving the authentication token at the SMP, the authentication token having been automatically communicated without command; upon receipt at the SMP of an authentication token equivalent to the directed authentication token, associating the enterprise account with the determined PBX system port; and registering, by the SMP, the mobile communication device for enterprise services associated with the enterprise account.
