Abstract
The method of the present invention generally validates a communication link in a communication system. In particular, the method validates a communication link between a cordless base station and authorization and call routing equipment by authenticating the cordless base station to communicate with said authorization equipment (603) and authenticating the authorization equipment to communicate with the cordless base station (604). Preferrably, the step of authenticating the cordless base station is based upon a first random number generated within the authorization equipment (502) and the step of authenticating the authorization equipment is based upon a second random number generated within the cordless base station (504). A communication link is allowed between the cordless base station and the authorization equipment when both the cordless base station and the authorization equipment have been authenticated (614).
