Step 101. Obtain the relevant information required by the video terminal to carry out business;

Step 102, generating a configuration file according to the obtained relevant information;

Step 103, delivering the generated configuration file to the video terminal. the

The obtained relevant information required by the video terminal to carry out services is pre-configured by the NGN network. For LAN access, the relevant information therein can include the port information of the soft switch and the registration information of the soft switch, the port information of the soft switch can be the address of the soft switch and the port number (PORT) of the soft switch, and the registration information of the soft switch can be SIP Account (Sip phone number) and SIP account password. Further, for ADSL access, the relevant information therein may also include access information of the softswitch, and the access information of the softswitch may be a PPPOE account and a password of the PPPOE account. The PPPOE account and PPPOE account password are used to log in to the NGN network under ADSL access conditions; the softswitch address and softswitch port number are used to address the corresponding port provided by the softswitch after logging in to the NGN network; the SIP account and SIP account password It is used to initiate service registration to the addressed softswitch, and the service can be carried out after the registration is passed. the

In this embodiment, a configuration file can be generated according to the acquired relevant information required by the video terminal to carry out services, and the generated configuration file can be delivered to the corresponding video terminal, so that the video terminal can register in the NGN network according to the configuration file. Therefore, after the video terminal user applies for activating the video service, he can immediately perform the video service through the video terminal, and realizes that the video service is turned on immediately. In this embodiment, the access information (PPPOE account number) and port information (softswitch/SBC address) for logging into the NGN network are not known to the video terminal user, and the password for the manual configuration function of the video terminal is controlled by the maintenance personnel of the bureau. Publish to the user, which not only reduces the complexity of the user's operation, but also solves the problem of insecurity caused by the disclosure of business network information. the

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the application scenario of the configuration information generation method provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is specifically the case where the video terminal adopts the ADSL mode to access the NGN network to obtain video telephony services, and special authentication for IP bearer is set on the network side The service network, as shown in Figure 2, involves network elements including: a video terminal, a home gateway (Home Gateway, hereinafter referred to as HG) or a modem (modem), a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer, hereinafter DSLAM for short), Broadband Remote Access Server (Broadband Remote Access Server, hereinafter referred to as BRAS) and authentication server. The authentication service network where the authentication server is located is an IP-carried private network, which is one of multiple virtual local area networks (Virtual Local Area Network, hereinafter referred to as VLAN) in the DSLAM back-end IP network, as shown in Figure 2 as VLAN-3 . The user's video terminal can be accessed through the HG, and the HG realizes the separation of the Internet and the NGN network on the BRAS through different permanent virtual circuits (PVC for short). The BRAS logically divides the original uplink physical link into two sub-interfaces, and configures interconnection addresses respectively, that is, divides the two pools into VLAN-1 and VLAN-2, divides common Internet access services into VLAN-1, and divides NGN services into VLAN-2. On the BRAS, the traffic destined for NGN is directed to the NGN service sub-interface to access the NGN network, and the traffic destined for ordinary Internet access services is directed to the Internet service through the interface to access the Internet. FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for generating configuration information provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment may include the following steps:

Step 301, obtaining the PPPOE account, PPPOE account password, softswitch address, softswitch port number, SIP account number and SIP account password required by the video terminal to carry out business;

Step 302, generating a configuration file according to the acquired relevant information required for the video terminal to carry out business;

Step 303, sending the generated configuration file to the video terminal;

Step 304, the video terminal accesses the BRAS according to the PPPOE account number and the PPPOE account password in the received configuration file, establishes a layer-2/layer-3 network connection, provides the underlying network channel for the NGN service, and logs in to the NGN network according to the IP address assigned by the BRAS , and register in the NGN network according to the softswitch address, softswitch port number, SIP account, and SIP account password in the configuration file. the

So far, the user of the video terminal can perform the video service through the video terminal, and the video service can be turned on immediately. the

In this embodiment, before the user applies for activating the video phone service, the system presets some relevant information in advance to facilitate service development. Among them, the PPPOE account and domain name of the authentication server are pre-set in the video terminal; the BRAS in the NGN bearer network pre-generates a batch of PPPOE accounts and PPPOE account passwords, and the NGN soft switch pre-generates a batch of SIP accounts and SIP account passwords, and The BRAS and the softswitch upload the pre-generated PPPOE account number and SIP account number to the acceptance capability module in the business system respectively. When the business system accepts the user's application, it will assign the user a business account and password, and then bind the user account with the SIP account and PPPOE account, and send the account binding information to the terminal authentication server. the

In this embodiment, after the user's video terminal is authenticated by the authentication server, the authentication server can immediately generate and configure the binding information issued by the business system and other files required for business development, such as softswitch address and softswitch port number. The file is sent to the video terminal, which can ensure the smooth access and authentication of the terminal to the NGN network, so that after the user has applied for the service, he can immediately use the point-to-point video service through the purchased network video terminal, without waiting for the acceptance of the user. Issuing work orders or performing many complex application configurations greatly shortens the time for service provisioning, simplifies the complexity of service provisioning, and facilitates users to perform video services. the

Further, in the case of the ADSL access mode, since the authentication server can bind the business account with the PPPOE account, afterward, the BRAS and the remote authentication dial-in user service (Remote Authentication DialIn User Service, referred to as RADIUS) server work together to combine the PPPOE account with the PPPOE account. Physical port binding enables one-to-one correspondence between the service account of the video terminal and the physical port number, thereby realizing the restriction on the roaming of the video terminal user. the

Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the application scenario of the method for generating configuration information provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This embodiment is specifically the case where a video terminal uses a LAN to access an NGN network to obtain video telephony services. As shown in Figure 4, the network side is set Instead of setting up a dedicated authentication service network carried by IP, the authentication server can be directly set in the softswitch network. FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a method for generating configuration information provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This embodiment may include the following steps:

Step 501, obtaining the softswitch address, softswitch port number, SIP account number and SIP account password required by the video terminal to carry out business;

Step 502, generating a configuration file according to the acquired relevant information required for the video terminal to carry out business;

Step 503, sending the generated configuration file to the video terminal;

Step 504, the DHCP server judges whether the MAC address of the video terminal is in the MAC address list uploaded and stored in the obtained device identification management library, if yes, then execute step 505;

Step 505, the DHCP server assigns a dynamic IP address to the video terminal;

Step 506, the video terminal logs in to the NGN network according to the dynamic IP address assigned by the DHCP server;

Step 507, the video terminal registers in the NGN network according to the softswitch address, softswitch port number, SIP account, and SIP account password in the received configuration file. the

So far, the user of the video terminal can perform the video service through the video terminal, and the video service can be turned on immediately. the

In this embodiment, before the user applies for activating the video phone service, the system presets some relevant information in advance to facilitate service development. Among them, the NGN softswitch pre-generates a batch of SIP accounts and SIP account passwords, and uploads them to the acceptance capability module in the business system; the user’s video terminal information (authentication server domain name) is pre-set in the video terminal, so as to directly connect to the service when applying for opening services. After the terminal device passes the test, it will generate the hardware serial number of the device according to the production volume of the device, and store the MAC address and hardware serial number of each video terminal in the device identification library, and pass the hardware serial number of the device through the custom interface. Synchronize to the authentication server, and synchronize the MAC address of the device to the DHCP server at the same time. When the business system accepts a user application, it will assign a business account and password to the user, then bind the user account to the SIP account, and send the account binding information to the terminal authentication server. the

In this embodiment, after the user's video terminal is authenticated by the authentication server, the authentication server can immediately generate and configure the binding information issued by the business system and other files required for business development, such as softswitch address and softswitch port number. The file is sent to the video terminal, which can ensure the smooth access and authentication of the terminal to the NGN network, so that after the user has applied for the service, he can immediately use the point-to-point video service through the purchased network video terminal, without waiting for the acceptance of the user. Issuing work orders or performing many complex application configurations greatly shortens the time for service provisioning, simplifies the complexity of service provisioning, and facilitates users to perform video services. the

In the case of LAN access mode, the MAC address list is stored in the DHCP server. When the video terminal accesses, the MAC address is uploaded to the DHCP server, and compared with the legal addresses in the list, the IP address is successfully assigned. The DHCP server can only control a certain range of IP addresses, so users can only use it within a certain range, thus realizing the restriction on the roaming of video terminal users. the

Furthermore, the video terminals in Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 3 of the present invention may also store the received configuration files, without repeatedly acquiring the same configuration files each time. Further, the video terminal in the above embodiment is the first version that only has the function of video telephony, and subsequent versions will successively have functions such as message, network address book and multimedia resource service, which provide new service functions to the video terminal. The address of the service server can be sent to the video terminal through the configuration file, which provides a mechanism for automatically issuing new services on the video terminal. the
