A method and apparatus for use in management of a plurality of parameters of customer premises equipment automatically and dynamically selects and/or alters one or more of a plurality of parameters based on credentials. A particular service provider can be authorized to view and/or alter one or more parameters based on credentials associated with the particular service provider. Specific service providers can be restricted to viewing other service provider's parameters while being allowed to change parameters associated with the specific service provider.

Module and associated method for TR-069 object management

A customer device is configured to allow remote installation of an application module and remote configuration from a remote management server. The application module includes a parameter model with model parameters configured for communication automatically between the remote management client residing in the customer device and the remote management server via a remote management protocol. The parameter model further includes at least one description parameter that formally describes a new model parameter forming part of the parameter model. The description parameter triggers creation of the new model parameter at the remote management server.

Application module and remote management server with parameter description model

The present application describes a Qos module for use in a home network that comprises a plurality of devices and a home gateway. The home gateway is enabled to receive a multicast stream and to forward the multicast stream to at least one of the devices under control of a multicast proxy module. The Qos module further comprises the multicast proxy module for also sending, upon reception of a multicast join message from one of the devices for joining the multicast stream, a Quality of Service request. The Quality of Service request comprising an address of the home gateway and an address of said device. The Qos module further comprises a unicast Quality of Service control module for reception of the Quality of Service request and for sending a unicast Quality of Service event message in order to request thereby provision of Quality of Service for the multicast stream when being forwarded from the home gateway to the device.

Multicast quality of service module and method

A method is described for managing a communication between a server device and a customer device. The method comprises interchanging between the server device and the customer device one or more parameter messages that are comprising a parameter description for a parameter name. The parameter description does consist of an hierarchical tree-like structure of characters with each level separated by a predefined character (dot). The method further comprises a step of instantiating by an instantiating device of the customer device, an iterator associated to an index, for a next level of a parameter-sub-tree being part of the global parameter description, and a step of recalling an object array for the parameter-sub-tree with the next level having different values for its index starting with a predefined start-value and ending with a predefined end-value.

Method for managing a communication between a server device and a customer device

A method is disclosed for managing a home network which is connected by means of a home network gateway device to an external network, the home network comprising at least a first TR-069 compatible device and the external network having at least one auto configuration server (ACS) adapted and arranged for allowing automatic configuration of the TR-069 compatible device, characterized in that it comprises monitoring TR-069 sessions between the at least one TR-069 compatible device and the at least one ACS, in the home network gateway device.

Method, device and module for optimising the remote management of home network devices

A method for improving the security of actions performed by Remote Procedure Calls RPC invoked during a TR-069 Remote Management Protocol session between an Auto-Configuration Server ACS and a Customer Premises Equipment CPE of a DSL telecommunication system. The TR-069 session comprises several RPC's executing actions on parameters of an object model and the method comprises the steps of If the transaction is not committed during a first TR-069 session, the CPE sends an Inform with an event code OpenSavePoint to the ACS during a next TR-069 session and the ACS may reply by including an additional field in the InformResponse to close the transaction. The SavePoint mechanism saves parameter values of the object model prior to any RPC by storing these parameter values at the CPE-side. The SavePoint mechanism may also save a history of the RPC's invoked during the transaction.
