Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and apparatus that enable device management to be performed via broadcast/multicast transmission. A server may receive a request, for example, from a device owner, to update settings in deployed devices. The deployed devices may be identified by at least one group ID. The server may initiate broadcast/multicast transmission to the identified devices by transmitting a settings update message to a communication server. The communication server may then transmit the settings update message to the identified devices via broadcast/multicast transmission.
