Abstract

Apparatus, and an associated method for downloading operation parameters to a mobile station by way of a radio link. The operating parameters include, for instance, preferred roaming list, number assignment module, enhanced variable rate coder, IP address, access point setup parameters, and the like, to be used during operation of the mobile station. Values of the operational parameter are input by way of the user interface to a server coupled to the network infrastructure of the communication system in which the mobile station is operable. Values of the operational parameters are encoded and routed to the mobile station by way of the network infrastructure of the communication system and a radio link formed with the mobile station. Once detected at the mobile station, the values are stored at a storage element, and later retrieved during subsequent operation of the mobile station.
