Abstract
A system and method of enabling network-based communication between a requesting device and a disconnected remote device over a data network is provided. The method begins by transmitting a network address request message from the requesting device to an address resolution server. The network address request message is received at the address resolution server, and subsequently a validation message is transmitted to the disconnected remote device to determine if the disconnected remote device is disconnected from the data network. If no response is received to the validation message, then an activation signal is generated and transmitting to the disconnected remote device. In response to the activation signal, the remote device obtains a network address and connects to the data network. The obtained network address for the connected remote device is then provided to the requesting device to enable a network-based communication pathway from the requesting device to the connected remote device over the data network.
