Abstract
A method for configuring a mobile device includes receiving at least one of an audio and a video signal encoded with configuration data from an interface unit proximate the mobile device and configuring the mobile device based on the configuration data. In another embodiment, the method includes initiating a client-to-client connection between the mobile device and an interface unit coupled to the communication network, receiving configuration data from the interface unit over the client-to-client connection, and configuring the mobile device based on the configuration data.
