[Solution] A terminal device having a storage unit that stores configuration data, and a first and a second provisioning server are connected over a network. The terminal device includes an operation unit for rewriting variable data, which is a part of the plurality of configuration data. The first provisioning server stores all the configuration data. The second provisioning server stores fixed data, which is the plurality of configuration data excluding the variable data. The terminal device accesses the first provisioning server in an initial state in order to obtain all the configuration data and store the same in the storage unit. The configured terminal device accesses the second provisioning server in order to obtain the fixed configuration data. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A data configuration system comprising: a terminal device having a storage unit for storing configuration data including a fixed data and a variable data; and first and second provisioning servers communicable with the terminal device over a network, wherein the terminal device has an operation unit for rewriting a part of the variable data in the configuration data, the first provisioning server stores all the configuration data, the second provisioning server stores the fixed data excluding the variable data, the terminal device accesses the first provisioning server in an initial state in order to obtain all the configuration data and store all the configuration data in the storage unit so that the terminal device is made to be configured, and the configured terminal device accesses the second provisioning server in order to obtain the fixed configuration data. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The data configuration system according to claim 1, wherein the terminal device accesses the first or second provisioning server at power on or restart. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The data configuration system according to claim 1, wherein the terminal device permits rewriting of the variable data by an operation of the operation unit after the terminal device is made to be configured. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The data configuration system according to claim 1, further comprising a data configuration device, wherein the configuration data stored in the first and second provisioning server is rewritable by the configuration device. ### Claim 5 A data update system comprising: a provisioning server provided in each of the plurality of voice communication systems; and a remote configuration device for accessing the provisioning server of any one of the voice communication systems in order to update data on the accessed provisioning server, wherein an initial configuration server for specifying the provisioning server to which the remote configuration device should make an access is provided, and the remote configuration device accesses the initial configuration server at startup and accesses the provisioning server specified by the initial configuration server. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The data update system according to claim 5, wherein the initial configuration server comprises an allocation table storing an address of the provisioning server to be accessed in association with the remote configuration device, and when the remote configuration device accesses to the initial configuration server, the initial configuration server transmits an address of the corresponding provisioning server to the remote configuration device so as to specify the provisioning server, and the remote configuration device accesses the provisioning server by using the address received from the initial configuration server. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The data update system according to claim 6, wherein each of the voice communication systems comprises a plurality of provisioning servers, and the initial configuration server stores the addresses of the plurality of provisioning servers belonging to one voice communication system in association with one remote configuration device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The data update system according to claim 6, wherein the allocation table is updated by a configuration device for a system provider provided separately from the remote configuration device. ### Claim 9 A data configuration method, wherein in a system comprising a terminal device having a storage unit for storing configuration data and first and second provisioning servers communicable with the terminal device over a network, the configuration data including fixed data and variable data, all the configuration data is stored in the first provisioning server, the fixed data is stored in the second provisioning server, the terminal device accesses the first provisioning server in an initial state in order to obtain all the configuration data so that the terminal device is made to be configured, and the configured terminal device accesses the second provisioning server in order to obtain the fixed configuration data. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The data configuration method according to claim 9, wherein the terminal device comprises an operation unit for rewriting the variable data, which is a part of the plurality of pieces of configuration data, and the configured terminal device can rewrite the variable data by an operation of the operation unit. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The data configuration method according to claim 9, wherein the terminal device accesses the first or second provisioning server at power on or restart.
