Abstract

The present invention concerns a networking device comprising a first interface to a first network and a second interface to a second network. The device comprises connecting means for associating to a terminal located on the first network and storing a unique and permanent identifier of the terminal, means for registering with an address comprising the terminal identifier to a server located on the second network for using a service, and means for enabling the terminal to use the service on the address.

Claims

1. Networking device comprising a first interface to a first network and a second interface to a second network comprising:

connecting means for associating to a terminal located on the first network and storing a unique and permanent identifier of said terminal,

means for registering to a registrar with an address comprising the terminal identifier for using a service with said address, and

means for enabling said terminal to use said service with said address.

2. Device according to claim 1, comprising filtering means for defining a set of authorized terminals whose identifiers are registered and for allowing registering only a terminal comprised in the set of authorized terminals.

3. Device according to claim 2, wherein the filtering means identifies an authorized terminal either with a terminal identifier or with the fact that the terminal has been associated during a pre-defined time period.

4. Device according to claim 1 wherein the service is a phone service.

5. Device according to claim 4, wherein the phone service conforms to the session initiation protocol and the address is a session initiation protocol uniform resource indicator.

6. Device according to claim 1 wherein the first network is a digital enhanced cordless telecommunications network.

7. Device according to claim 5 wherein the session initiation protocol uniform resource indicator comprises the terminal international portable user identity.

8. Method in a device comprising a first interface to a first network and a second interface to a second network, comprising at the level of the device the steps of:

associating a terminal located on the first network, said terminal comprising a unique and permanent identifier,

registering to a registrar with an address comprising said terminal identifier for using a service with said address, and

enabling said terminal to use said service with said address.

9. Method according to the claim 8, comprising the step of setting a list of authorized terminals with a user interface, and registering only if the terminal is comprised in the list.
