Abstract
In a wireless communication system (100), a communication unit (102) may operate therein in the following manner. At power up of the communication unit (102), the communication unit transmits an application request over a second wireless communication path (117) to a configuration device (115). The configuration device (115) determines whether this was a valid request, and if so transmits the appropriate software applications to the communication unit (102) over the second wireless communication path (117). The communication unit (102) stores the application information in volatile memory (119). Having this information stored, the communication unit (102) prepares a service request by requesting configuration information from the configuration device (115). Upon receiving the configuration information from the configuration device (115) via the second wireless communication path (117), the communication unit (102)can access the wireless system (100) via a first wireless communication path (103).
