TL;DR: In this paper, an Internet access device (100) uses an automatic configuration process (600) to handle the task of configuring the Internet access devices at a customer site for communication with the Internet (10).
Abstract: An Internet access device (100) uses an automatic configuration process (600) to handle the task of configuring the Internet access device at a customer site for communication with the Internet (10). Once configured, the customer has electronic mail and other access to the Internet from his local area network. A not yet configured Internet access device is shipped directly to a customer without having to be manually configured first. The customer enters a registration identification number (326) and a telephone number onto the Internet access device. The Internet access device then automatically connects to the Internet, downloads configuration data from a configuration server (410) containing customer site specific configuration data, and then automatically configures itself for communication with the Internet. The Internet access device is simple to install for a customer and provides valuable features such as a router (240), firewall, e-mail gateway (212), web server (220), and other servers (222). The Internet access device initially connects to the Internet through an Internet service provider (14) over a standard analog telephone line using a standard modem (52) and using a dynamic IP address. Once automatically configured, the Internet access device may then communicate with the Internet using any suitable connection including an analog telephone line, or a higher-speed line such as an ISDN line or a frame relay circuit and is assigned a static IP address and a range of IP addresses for other devices on its local area network.

6 Nov 1997TL;DR: In this paper, a flexible and adaptable multiservice access to the networks is proposed, where customer requirements are checked by monitoring traffic on a local access at connection request and/or during the established connection, and local access is configured according to transmission requirements.
Abstract: In current voice telephony, CATV, and wireless networks, traffic is channelized for both access and transport, requiring a dedication of a fixed bandwidth end-to-end for the duration of a service connection. This channelization is wasteful of resources where multiple services have varying demands for bandwidth and holding times, or a service generates traffic that is bursty in nature. The invention addresses these problems by providing flexible and adaptable multiservice access to the networks. Customer requirements are checked by monitoring traffic on a local access at a connection request and/or during the established connection, and local access is configured according to transmission requirements. Customer traffic is segregated and routed to the appropriate network. One of the embodiments uses 2B1Q line coding and implements a novel protocol to perform the functions of the invention.

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated phone-based home gateway system is described, which includes a broadband communication device, such as digital subscriber line (DSL) device, an analog modem, a wireless interface, integrated into a screen-phone for providing broadband communication service to home users.
Abstract: A integrated phone-based home gateway system is disclosed. The integrated phone-based home gateway system includes a broadband communication device, such as digital subscriber line (“DSL”) device, an analog modem, a wireless interface, integrated into a screen-phone for providing broadband communication service to home users. Multiple home users are able to access the Internet and the content services for conducting e-commerce, receiving content news, entertaining on-demand, making audio or video communications, and telecommuting or working at home. This screen-phone based, modular, plug-n-play home gateway interface allows in-home as well as to-home networking, provides automatic data and broadband initialization, configuration and service provisioning, routing and bridging functionality and allows resource sharing among home devices via the existing phone wire, wireless, coaxial or optical cable connections.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of providing network connectivity is presented, which can include introducing a new communication device within a communication range of a portable data collection device, the new communications device comprising a dynamic access module enabling the new communication devices to receive data packets from the portable Data Collection device and route payload data of the data packets to an access point.
Abstract: There is set forth herein a method of providing network connectivity. The method can include introducing a new communication device within a communication range of a portable data collection device, the new communication device comprising a dynamic access module enabling the new communication device to receive data packets from the portable data collection device and route payload data of the data packets to an access point. In one aspect the new communication device can receive data packets from the portable data collection device and route payload data of the data packets to the access point if the new communication device determines that it is in range of both of said access point and the portable data collection device. There is set forth herein a system having a dynamic access module.

25 Feb 1998TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a multi-service access mechanism for voice telephony networks, where customer requirements are checked by monitoring traffic on a local access at connection request and/or during the established connection, and the local access is configured according to the transmission requirements.
Abstract: In current voice telephony, CATV, and wireless networks, traffic is channelized for both access and transport. This channelizationis wasteful of resources where multiple services have varying demands for bandwidth and holding times, or a service generates traffic that is bursty in nature. The invention solves these problems by providing flexible and adaptable multi-service access to the networks. Customer requirements are checked by monitoring traffic on a local access at a connection request and/or during the established connection, and the local access is configured according to the transmission requirements. The local access can also be configured in response to the network information. In furhter realizations, either or both the CPE connector and access module include common bus architecture which forms a backbone LAN for handling a multiplicity of CPEs and/or networks.
