Abstract
A method, system, and computer-readable medium for seamlessly updating connection parameters that allow a communications device of a host machine to connect to a Wireless Wide Area Network. Users are allowed to edit certain parameters, and these changes are stored in persistent storage along with a unique identifier for the set that was edited. At connection time, the user's edits override the defaults pre-provisioned by the network operator and stored on the device. The operator can also remotely edit the parameters, after which the user's changes are overwritten with the new defaults. Thus, the invention is capable of seamlessly handling updates to the connection parameters by both the user and the network operator.
