A method includes a customer premise equipment (CPE) downloading a CPE configuration file over a machine communication network. The CPE checks the configuration file for a software load name. If the software load name is found in the configuration file, the CPE downloads an operating software image specified in the software load name, and the resets and enters an initialized state ready for service. If the load name is not found, the CPE determines if the configuration file includes a vendor table having records specific to a vendor of the CPE. If the vendor table is not found, the CPE enters the initialized state ready for service. If the vendor table is found, the CPE locates a record in the vendor table corresponding to a criteria unique to a subset of CPEs of the vendor of the CPE. If the record is found, the CPE downloads an operating software image specified in the record. If the record is not found, the CPE enters the initialized state ready for service.
