This continuation application claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/644,080 filed Dec. 22, 2009, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 8,255,677 on Aug. 28, 2012, and provisional application 61/223,360, filed Jul. 6, 2009, which provisional application is hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein.
Then, at 33, in an alternate embodiment, the access point is pre-provisioned with the FQDN of the bootstrap server 50. The access point may do a DNS query for the IP address of the bootstrap server in the femto NSP. At 34, once the IP address of the bootstrap server is determined by the access point in steps 32 or 33, the access point may establishe a secure connection with the bootstrap server. This secure connection may be bootstrapped using pre-provisioned credentials in one embodiment.
automatically initiating by an femtocell access point that is part of a macro-cell, upon boot-up, a secure connection with a security gateway;
establishing a secure connection with a network service provider and downloading an initial configuration from the network service provider;
receiving over a wireless protocol a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a management system;
initiating a query of a domain name server, using the fully qualified domain name, to obtain an internet protocol address of a management system;
receiving, from the domain name server, the internet protocol address of the management system to establish the secure connection with the management system;
downloading a second configuration from the management system; and
locating a self organization network (SON) server and downloading a radio configuration from the SON server.
2. The method of claim 1 including automatically determining, after boot up, whether the femtocell access point is pre-provisioned with credentials to authenticate itself with a network service provider.
3. The method of claim 1 including pre-provisioning the femtocell access point with credentials for a particular wireless protocol.
4. The method of claim 1 including pre-provisioning the femtocell access point with a domain name of the management system in a femtocell network service provider.
5. The method of claim 1 including automatically sending the location of the femtocell access point to a network service provider.
6. The method of claim 1 including enabling the femtocell access point to automatically register with a network service provider.
7. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions to perform a sequence comprising:
establishing a secure connection with a network service provider and downloading an initial configuration from the network service provider
8. The media of claim 7, further storing instructions to perform a sequence including automatically determining, after boot up, whether the femtocell access point is pre-provisioned with credentials to authenticate itself with a network service provider.
9. The media of claim 7, further storing instructions to perform a sequence including pre-provisioning the femtocell access point with credentials for a particular wireless protocol.
10. The media of claim 7, further storing instructions to perform a sequence including pre-provisioning the femtocell access point with a domain name of the management system in a femtocell network service provider.
11. The media of claim 8, further storing instructions to perform a sequence including automatically sending the location of the femtocell access point to a network service provider.
12. The media of claim 8, further storing instructions to perform a sequence including enabling the femtocell access point to automatically register with a network service provider.
