Abstract:
A method for preparing a terminal to be used in a system for exchanging data between said terminal and access means via a telecommunication network, which terminal comprisesa line-interface to be coupled to said telecommunication network,a processor coupled to said line-interface, anda terminal-memory coupled to said processor, which access means compriseat least one access point to be coupled to said telecommunication network, andat least one server to be coupled to said access point via a data connection, characterised in that the method comprises the steps ofselecting at least one access code out of many access codes defining addresses of access points,storing at least one selected access code into said terminal-memory, which is a non-mechanical memory,selecting at least one server code out of many server codes defining addresses of servers,storing at least one selected server code into said non-mechanical terminal-memory, andstoring at least one user-dependent code into said non-mechanical terminal-memory for allowing a user to get his/her own screen layout, with said access means comprising a configuration memory for storing configuration parameters for, in response to said user-dependent code, configuring data such that said user gets said own screen layout.
