System and method providing configuration services for communications devices
First Claim
1. A communications system providing user configuration, comprising:
- at least one communications device configurable for a plurality of users;
a configuration request message generated by the communications device to initiate configuration of the communications device;
a remote computer for generating a configuration response message;
a first configuration file for a user containing a first value for at least one configurable setting of the communications device;
a second configuration file for the user containing a second value for the at least one configurable setting of the communications device; and
a configuration response message received by the communications device to enable configuration of the communications device, wherein the configuration response message includes configuration information comprising at least the first value or second value for the at least one configurable setting of the communications device for the user.

Abstract
A communications system and method is provided for enabling remote user configuration of a communications device. The system includes at least one communications device configurable for a plurality of users and at least one remote computer for storing configuration information associated with the plurality of users. A configuration request message is generated by the communications device to initiate a configuration of the communications device and a configuration response message is generated by the remote computer to enable configuration of the communications device, wherein the configuration response message includes configuration information associated with at least one of the plurality of users.
