Method and system for activation of a local terminal
First Claim
1. A method for activating a local terminal connectable to a first network comprising the steps of:
- selecting by a server, out of a plurality of network nodes with different identifiers for connecting to a local activation module via second network, a network node with an identifier;
transmitting, by the server and via the second network an activation code with the identifier of the selected network node to the local activation module which is connected to the second network and to the local terminal; and
activating, by the activation module and after receiving the activation code, the local terminal in accordance with the value of the identifier.

Abstract
System and method for activating a terminal (7) connectable to a first network (1). An activation module (6) is connected to a second network (5) on the one hand and to the terminal on the other hand and can activate the terminal after receiving an activation code. The activation module might also activate a connection between the terminal and the server, while the server might further activate the terminal. If the second network (5) passes on to the activation module (6) an identifier (e.g. CLI) of the node via which the server (2) connects to the second network, the activation module can activate the terminal in various ways in accordance with the value of the recorded identifier. The server (2) can connect to the network via nodes with various identifiers. The activation code can also comprise notification messages or other messages (for example SMS), which the server (2) sends directly to the user terminal (7) via the activation module (6).
