System and method for managing access point functionality and configuration

摘要

A system for managing access point functionally and configuration includes a server that is coupled to a computer network and configured to communicate with an access point via the computer network. The access point is configured to couple a mobile device to the computer network by providing a wireless link between the mobile device and the access point. The access point is further configured to produce a status point regarding the access point and the server is configured to receive the status report from the access point following a trigger event at the access point. In other examples, the server is further configured to transmit a response message and/or a configuration file to the access point in response to the status report that is received at the server. Other features and systems are also disclosed.

1. A system for managing functionality and/or configuration of an access point in communication with a carrier core network, the system comprising:
a network interface; and a server computer coupled to an Internet Protocol (IP)-based computer network through the network interface,
wherein the server is configured to communicate with the access point via the IP-based computer network,wherein the communication includes receiving a status report from the access point,wherein the status report is generated at the access point following a trigger,
wherein the status report is regarding a communication path between one or more mobile devices and a carrier core network,wherein the status report includes information regarding a type of application the one or more mobile devices previously used,wherein the carrier core network manages, at least in part, communication with the one or more mobile devices, andwherein the communication path includes at least a portion of the IP-based computer network.
