SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR CONFIGURATION OF AN IP-FEMTOCELL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of configuring a femtocell system for deployment in a network, comprising:
- provisioning the femtocell system with a network address of a default base station manager;
receiving at least one identifier of a user equipment in a customer plan of a customer associated with the femtocell system;
obtaining at least one electronic serial number of the user equipment; and
configuring the femtocell system to screen any user equipment that attempts to register with the femtocell system with the at least one electronic serial number.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable medium for configuration of a femtocell system is provided. A femtocell system is provisioned with a default base station manager IP address. The base station manager receives an account identifier of a user subscription and a femtocell system ID assigned to the femtocell system. The base station manager may allocate a SID/NID for the femtocell system. A list of electronic serial numbers of handsets in the user subscription may be compiled by the base station manager. The femtocell system may connect with the base station manager and request a configuration download once deployed in a SOHO. The compiled electronic serial numbers may then be transferred from the base station manager to the femtocell system in a configuration download.

16. A system for configuring a femtocell system for deployment in a network, comprising:
-
a packet-switched network including a base station manager server that receives an identifier of a user equipment in a customer plan of a customer associated with the femtocell system and obtains an electronic serial number of the user equipment; an Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem communicatively interfaced with the packet-switched network; and a femtocell system communicatively coupled with the packet-switched network adapted to provide a radio interface with a user equipment and that is provisioned with an Internet Protocol address of the base station manager server, where the femtocell system issues, to the base station manager server, a request for a configuration download and receives the configuration download including the electronic serial number in response to issuance of the request, and wherein the femtocell system screens any user equipment that attempts to register with the femtocell system with the at least one electronic serial number. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
