DIGITAL ENHANCED CORDLESS TELECOMMUNICATION (DECT) METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DIGITAL TELEPHONY SELF INSTALL

摘要

A self-install model for installing digital telephony services at a user premises uses a Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication ("DECT") system having a base station and a cordless telephone. The self-install model enables the activation of telephony services at the user premises automatically through an Internet Protocol network of a service provider such that the user is able to make and receive calls at the user premises over a communication network upon activation of the telephony services. The self-install model involves pre-tests to ensure signal strength of the connection between the user premises and the communication network; acceptance by the user to the service provider's terms and conditions for providing the telephony services to the user premises by way of messages from the service provider being displayed on the cordless handset; activation of the telephony services by the service provider; and post-install service verification tests.
