Rather unlikely, I'd say. There are some IEs that can be used to
transport some few bytes of data transparently (e.g. DISPLAY), but this
remote configuration will need to work over all sorts of PBXes (guess
you are installing the box behind your office PBX), some of which might
filter specific IEs.

There is also the possibility to do it via X.25-over-D, but that
again requires that X.25 is transparently supported along the entire
signalling path.

I guess they just implemented some mechanism using a B channel, push
down the new config and load the new config once this connection is
terminated. The connection as such will be very short, so you likely
won't notice.

Just an educated guess, however.
