Abstract
A system for managing a network termination device comprising: an optical line terminator coupled to an optical network termination; a residential gateway coupled to the optical network termination; an element management system configured to manage the optical network termination; and a secure channel connecting the element management system to the residential gateway, wherein the element management system sends management information to the residential gateway via the secure channel.
Claims20
A system for managing a network termination device comprising:
- an optical line terminator coupled to an optical network termination;
- a residential gateway coupled to the optical network termination;
- an element management system configured to manage the optical network termination via the residential gateway;
- and
- a secure channel connecting the element management system to the residential gateway, wherein the element management system sends management information to the residential gateway without internet protocol connectivity via the secure channel.
A network device comprising:
- a processor, an input/output device coupled to the processor, and a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- establishing a secure channel between an element management system and a residential gateway without internet protocol connectivity;
- establishing a first management channel between the residential gateway and an optical network termination;
- and
- communicating a management signal to the residential gateway to update at least one of the residential gateway and the optical network termination.
A system for managing a network termination device, the system comprising:
- an optical line terminator coupled to an optical network termination;
- a residential gateway coupled to the optical network termination;
- at least one home device in communication with the residential gateway;
- an element management system configured to manage the optical network termination;
- a secure channel connecting the element management system to the residential gateway, without internet protocol connectivity;
- a first management channel between the residential gateway and the optical network termination;
- a second management channel between the residential gateway and the at least one home device;
- wherein the element management system sends management information including instruction for at least one of the residential gateway, the optical network termination, the optical line terminator and the at least one home device to the residential gateway via the secure channel and at least one of the first management channel and the second management channel.
