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 device manager of a unified communications as a service (UCaaS) platform, the device manager comprising a processor and a memory configured to:
- obtain a device configuration for a telephony device from an external telephony server of a manufacturer of the telephony device via session initiation protocol (SIP) messaging to configure the telephony device to operate on a virtual meeting platform;
- prior to operation of the telephony device on the virtual meeting platform, generate an application package for the telephony device based on the device configuration;
- and
- transmit the application package to the telephony device.
A method comprising:
- obtaining, at a device manager of a unified communications as a service (UCaaS) platform, a device configuration for a telephony device from an external telephony server of a manufacturer of the telephony device via session initiation protocol (SIP) messaging to configure the telephony device to operate on a virtual meeting platform;
- prior to operation of the telephony device on the virtual meeting platform, generating an application package for the telephony device based on the device configuration;
- and
- transmitting the application package to the telephony device.
