Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for configuring a multi-network telecommunications terminal, which communicates with a number of telecommunications networks offering a plurality of telecommunications services. The terminal includes a plurality of interfaces for accessing the services offered. When the terminal accesses one of the services offered, via one of the networks, the following steps are performed: a) determining the type of network with which the terminal is in the process of connecting, b) activating the access interface associated with the service which the terminal is intended to access, c) requesting, at the level of the activated access interface, configuration parameters which are dependent on the activated access interface and the network in the process of connection, d) extracting, at the level of a module for centralizing configuration parameters, the requested configuration parameters, e) obtaining, at level of the activated access interface, the extracted configuration parameters.
