Abstract
A system and method for providing user mobility services on a data network telephony system. User attributes may be transmitted from a portable information device, such as a personal digital assistant, to a voice communication device, such as an Ethernet-based telephone. The voice communication device receives the user attributes from the portable information device and may transmit a registration request to a registration server. The registration request may include the user attributes, and is used by the registration server to register the user to the voice communication device in a registration data base. When a call is placed to the user, the registration server may reference the registration data base to direct the call to the voice communication device.
