Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide for systems and methods to automatically load security access files and/or keys on a local digital controller serving subscriber communication equipment, but are not so limited. A disclosed system operates to use a deployment manager as part of auto-loading security access files and/or keys on a local digital controller serving subscriber communication equipment. A disclosed method operates in part to auto-load security access files and/or keys on a local digital controller serving subscriber communication equipment.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- retrieving, via a first server, one or more batch files associated with consumer premise equipment (CPE);
- retrieving, via the first server, one or more key access files associated with the CPE;
- validating, via the first server, the one or more key access files associated with the one or more batch files;
- automatically providing one or more validated key access files associated with the one or more batch files to a second server;
- and
- monitoring, via the first server, the second server for auto-processing results of the one or more validated key access files associated with the one or more batch files.
A system comprising:
- a first server that includes at least one processor and memory, the first server to:
- retrieve one or more batch files associated with CPE;
- retrieve one or more key access files associated with the CPE;
- validate the one or more key access files associated with the one or more batch files;
- automatically provide one or more validated key access files associated with the one or more batch files to a second server;
- and
- monitor the second server for auto-processing results of the one or more validated key access files associated with the one or more batch files.
A non-transitory computer readable medium that includes instructions which, when executed by a processor:
- retrieve one or more batch files associated with CPE;
- retrieve one or more key access files associated with the CPE;
- validate the one or more key access files associated with the one or more batch files;
- automatically provide one or more validated key access files associated with the one or more batch files to a second server computer;
- and
- monitor the second server computer for auto-processing results of the one or more validated key access files associated with the one or more batch files.
