A METHOD FOR RETRIEVING THE IMPLEMENTED DATA MODEL FROM A DEVICE

摘要

Presented is an apparatus and methods for collecting the implemented data model and version information from an end user device. The apparatus is communicatively connected to the end user device and uses, for example, the Broadband Forum TR-069 protocol or another protocol for communications (702). The method interrogates the end user device to determine all parameters and their data types by traversing the end user device's data model level by level and instantiating any objects discovered that are instantiable but not yet instantiated (706). The method archives the data model and end user device version information for later use with like devices (708).
