System and method for automated provisioning of wireless access gateways

摘要

Provisioning of network wireless access gateways is provided through standard heartbeat communications between device management systems and the controlled devices. Security associations for use by the devices such as PDSNs in communication with other devices such as PCFs associated with the network is downloaded from the management system to the PDSNs in the heartbeat communication channel. Peer operation of the device management systems under a network management system allows input of the security authorizations at any of the management system levels with upload and download to peer components for transmission to their associated devices.
