System for deployment of communication terminals in a cloud computing system

A communication terminal comprising:

• non-transitory memory having an application;
• and
• a processor unit communicatively connected to the memory, the application being executable by the processor unit, the communication terminal performing a method defined by the application when the application is executed by the processor unit, the method defined by the application comprising:
• the communication terminal receiving input indicating a deployment code for the communication terminal;
• the communication terminal determining the deployment code based upon the input, the deployment code having a redirection code subpart;
• the communication terminal sending a first message comprising the redirection code subpart to a redirecting communication device such that the redirecting communication device determines an address of a management device in a first network hosting a service that corresponds with the redirection code subpart of the first message and sends at least one of a language to be used by the communication terminal and the address of the management device to the communication terminal;
• the communication terminal sending a second message to the management device via the address of the management device received from the redirecting communication device such that the management device establishes a communication with the communication terminal to assign a configuration to the communication terminal so that the configuration of the communication terminal is controlled by the management device such that the communication terminal is configured for accessing the service associated with the management device, wherein the management device is associated with the first network hosting the service, wherein the second message comprises a deployment reference identifier for the deployment code and the configuration assigned to the communication terminal is the configuration identified by the deployment reference identifier of the deployment code.

A communication system, comprising:

• a first terminal device;
• a redirecting communication device communicatively connectable to the first terminal device;
• and
• a management device communicatively connectable to the first terminal device, the management device being associated with at least one service offered via a first network;
• and
• the first terminal device configured to receive input indicating a deployment code for the first terminal device;
• the first terminal device configured to determine the deployment code based upon the input, the deployment code comprising a redirection code subpart;
• the first terminal device configured to send a first message to the redirecting communication device, the first message comprising the redirection code subpart;
• the redirecting communication device configured to respond to the first message by determining an address of the management device that corresponds with the redirection code subpart of the first message and send a second message to the first terminal device, the second message comprising at least one of a language to be used by the first terminal device and the address of the management device;
• the first terminal device configured to respond to the second message by sending a third message to the management device via the address of the management device received from the second message;
• the management device configured to respond to the third message by establishing a communication with the first terminal device to assign a configuration for the first terminal device so that after the first terminal device is configured with the assigned configuration the at least one service is accessible to the first terminal device, the configuration of the first terminal device being controlled by the management device;
• and
• wherein the third message is comprised of a deployment reference portion of the deployment code and wherein the configuration assigned to the first terminal device is the configuration identified by the deployment reference portion of the deployment code.
