Abstract
A network provisioning system includes a computer-based set of instructions that receive, from a third party network provisioning system managed by a third party service provider, provisioning information associated with a wiretap to be setup on a customer communication device. The instructions then transmit the provisioning information to a policy server in a network domain. Thereafter, when the media gateway transmits a policy request message to the policy server to establish a call session for the customer communication device, the policy server issues instructions to establish the wiretap in the media gateway.
Claims18
A network provisioning system comprising:
- a computing device comprising at least one processor and at least one tangible memory to store instructions that are executed by the at least one processor to:
- receive, from a third party network provisioning system managed by a service provider that is separate and distinct from another service provider that manages the computing device, provisioning information associated with a wiretap to be setup on a customer communication device;
- and
- transmit the provisioning information to a policy server in a network domain;
- wherein, in response to a media gateway in the network domain transmitting a policy request message to the policy server associated with the customer communication device to establish a call session, the policy server issues instructions to the media gateway to establish the wiretap, according to the provisioning information;
- wherein the instructions are further executed to:
- compare stored provisioning information with the provisioning information received from the third party network provisioning system, the stored provisioning information received through a user interface;
- validate the provisioning information received from the third party network provisioning system according to the comparison, wherein the validated provisioning information is transmitted to the policy server;
- generate a passcode;
- and
- transmit the passcode to the third party network provisioning system, wherein the provisioning information from the third party network provisioning system includes the passcode.

A network provisioning method comprising:
- receiving, using instructions stored in at least one memory and executed by at least one processor, provisioning information associated with a wiretap to be setup on a customer communication device from a third party network provisioning system managed by a service provider that is separate and distinct from another service provider that manages a computing device comprising the at least one memory and the at least one processor:
- transmitting, using the instructions, the provisioning information to a policy server in a network domain;
- and
- in response to a media gateway in the network domain transmitting a policy request message to the policy server associated with the customer communication device to establish a call session, issuing, by the policy server, instructions to the media gateway to establish the wiretap, according to the provisioning information;
- wherein the instructions are further executed to:
- compare stored provisioning information with the provisioning information received from the third party network provisioning system, the stored provisioning information received through a user interface;
- validate the provisioning information received from the third party network provisioning system according to the comparison, wherein the validated provisioning information is transmitted to the policy server;
- generate a passcode;
- and
- transmit the passcode to the third party network provisioning system, wherein the provisioning information from the third party network provisioning system includes the passcode.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor to:
- receive provisioning information associated with a wiretap to be setup on a customer communication device from a third party network provisioning system managed by a service provider that is separate and distinct from another service provider that manages a computing device comprising the processor:
- transmit the provisioning information to a policy server in a network domain;
- and
- in response to a media gateway in the network domain transmitting a policy request message to the policy server associated with the customer communication device to establish a call session, issue, by the policy server, instructions to the media gateway to establish the wiretap, according to the provisioning information;
- wherein the instructions are further executed to:
- compare stored provisioning information with the provisioning information received from the third party network provisioning system, the stored provisioning information received through a user interface;
- validate the provisioning information received from the third party network provisioning system according to the comparison, wherein the validated provisioning information is transmitted to the policy server;
- generate a passcode;
- and
- transmit the passcode to the third party network provisioning system, wherein the provisioning information from the third party network provisioning system includes the passcode.
