Initial Configuration of a Remote Network Device

A telecommunications device, comprising:

• a transceiver that transmits and receives data over a telecommunications network;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to perform operations comprising:
• detecting a network address that is assigned to a network device by a network address server, wherein the network address server differs from the network device;
• and
• in response to detecting the network address, transmitting, to the network device, a set of connection parameters that connect the network device to a controller device, wherein the set of connection parameters is transmitted outside of communications, transmitted by the network address server, that assigned the network address to the network device.

A telecommunications system, comprising:

• a controller device;
• and
