The method to forward a packet according to predefined protocol steps applies to a sensor personal area network that includes data communication sensor devices. The method includes assigning a predefined compression value to a compression field in the packet for indicating that a source network identifier of the originator of the packet is assumed to be equal to a destination network identifier of an intended recipient of the packet. Furthermore, the method includes assigning a predefined label switching value lsv to an addressing mode field DAM-F in the packet P for indicating that the above mentioned protocol steps further include a label switching principle that must be applied to forward the packet. Finally the method includes using a source network identifier field SNI-F of the packet for storing and retrieving the label value labfor application of the label switching principle based thereon.

Forwarding a packet in a sensor personal area network

A method for automatically configuring a device by means of an automatic configuration means adapted for automatically configuring the device by means of a remote management protocol (RMP), comprising setting up an RMP session between the device and the automatic configuration means is disclosed, wherein when during the RMP session at least one parameter value of the object model of the device is changed, the device communicates the changed parameter value(s) to the automatic configuration means after the initiation and before the termination of the RMP session.

Method for automatically configuring devices in telecommunication networks and devices for use with such methods

An embodiment of the method includes remote configuration of at least one apparatus using a configuration server to configure the apparatus in situ via a network, to which the apparatus and the configuration server are connected. The method includes exchanging information requests and inform messages between the configuration server and the apparatus. The method further includes prioritizing, at the configuration server, the requested information indicated by the at least one of information requests and inform messages. The method also includes sending, from the configuration server, the requested information indicated by the at least one of information requests and inform messages over the network to the apparatus.

Method for remote configuration of an apparatus via a network

A system for automatically configuring a device which is compatible with the Technical Report TR-069 of the DSL Forum, said system comprising a first automatic configuration server compatible with the Technical Report TR-069 of the DSL Forum, which is adapted and arranged for communicating with said device and for automatically configuring at least part of the configurable parameters of said device, said device by means of the CPE WAN Management Protocol defined in Technical Report TR-069 of the DSL Forum, wherein said system further comprises a proxy server arranged between said device and said automatic configuration server.
