Abstract
The disclosure relates to a system for dynamic association of a computational device, which includes at least one communication interface and a control system coupled to the at least one communication interface with a communication device. A request to authenticate an association between a computational device and a communication device is received by the control system and a communication connection is established with the communication device. A request for authentication information is sent via the communication connection to the communication device. A response is received from the communication device and information determined from the response is forwarded.
Claims21
A system for associating a computational device with a communication device, the system comprising:
- at least one communication interface;
- and
- a control system coupled to the at least one communication interface and configured to:
- receive a request to authenticate an association between the computational device and the communication device;
- establish a communication connection with the communication device;
- send a request for authentication information to the communication device via the communication connection;
- receive a response to the request for authentication information from the communication device;
- and
- forward information determined from the response to the request for authentication information.
A communication system comprising:
- a plurality of communication interfaces;
- a switching fabric coupled to the plurality of communication interfaces;
- and
- a control system coupled to the switching fabric and configured to:
- receive a request to authenticate a communication device from a network device configured to associate computational devices with communication devices;
- establish a communication connection with the communication device;
- send a request for authentication information to the communication device via the communication connection;
- receive a response to the request for authentication information from the communication device;
- and
- forward information determined from the response to the request for authentication information.
