<p>A method and apparatus to configure, provision, and control a set-top terminal (520) using a wireless web appliance is provided where a wireless communication path (545) is established between the wireless web appliance (510) and the set-top terminal. The set-top terminal is arranged to communicate with a headend controller over a bi-directional communication link (532) having both upstream (632) and downstream (624) communication paths. A configuration change (624) is implemented in response to an unsolicited message (632) that is generated by the set-top terminal and received by the headend controller over the upstream communications path. The configuration change is implemented at the headend, or at the set-top terminal by downloading configuration data (624) from the headend controller over the downstream communication path. The set-top terminal transmits the unsolicited message in response to a control signal (615) generated by the wireless web appliance that is received over the wireless communication path.</p> |
