Abstract
A telephony device includes a memory that stores firmware to operate the telephony device. The telephony device includes a network interface that transmits a first command to establish a connection with a telephony server. The telephony device includes a receiver that receives a second command from a device manager. The second command includes an instruction to upgrade the firmware of the telephony device. The telephony device includes a processor that upgrades the firmware of the telephony device based on the second command. The processor establishes a connection to a virtual meeting room platform based on the upgraded firmware.
Claims20
A device management system comprising:
- a connection edge (CE) server configured to communicate with a telephony device using a message queueing telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol;
- and
- a device manager comprising a processor and a memory, the device manager configured to:
- obtain a device configuration from an external telephony server of a manufacturer of the telephony device;
- prior to enrollment of the telephony device on a virtual meeting room platform, build an application package for the telephony device based on the device configuration to configure the telephony device to operate on the virtual meeting room platform;
- and
- transmit the application package to the telephony device via the CE server to connect the telephony device to the CE server and perform a mutual transport layer security (TLS) authentication.
A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a device manager, a device configuration from an external telephony server of a manufacturer of a telephony device;
- building, by the device manager prior to enrollment of the telephony device on a virtual meeting room platform, an application package for the telephony device based on the device configuration to configure the telephony device to operate on the virtual meeting room platform;
- and
- transmitting, by the device manager, the application package to the telephony device via a connection edge (CE) server to connect the telephony device to the CE server and perform a mutual transport layer security (TLS) authentication.
