Abstract
A system for provisioning a network access device based on control settings received from a remote location utilizes logic and memory for storing a set of operational control settings and a set of default control settings for the network access device. The logic is configured to store, in the memory, the operational control settings based on data received from a remote device via a network. The logic is configured to control the network access device based on the operational control settings and to begin controlling the network access device based on the default control settings in lieu of the operational control settings in response to a determination that the network access device is unable to communicate over the network based on the operational control settings, thereby enabling the network access device to be remotely re-provisioned.
