Abstract
A technique for receiving a configuration setting update at a networked endpoint device involves receiving a data packet from a head-end device, including one or more parameter updates that each include a parameter identification, a designated parameter value, and a predetermined level assignment for the designated parameter value. The technique further includes updating a record of two or more records of each parameter with its designated parameter value, the two or more records associated with differentiating level assignments defining a prioritized hierarchy of parameter values for the parameter at the endpoint device. The updated record is the record associated with the predetermined level assignment provided in the data packet. A level assignment may be for an individual endpoint, group of endpoints, or as a default, for example. An application may be run at the endpoint device using the parameter value recorded at the highest priority level assignment for each parameter.
