Abstract:
1. A method for configuring device parameters in a Digital Subscriber Line access network performed by a managed device, comprising: receiving a parameter modifying command from a managing device; modifying a parameter according to the parameter modifying command; sending a first command response to the managing device, indicating an applying opportunity of an unapplied parameter of the managed device, which is generated by the parameter modifying command in response to the parameter modifying command; receiving a GetParameterValues command to inquire the applying opportunity of the unapplied parameter of the managed device, which is generated by the parameter modifying command from the managing device; sending a second command response to the managing device, indicating the applying opportunity of the unapplied parameter of the managed device, which is generated by the parameter modifying command in response to the GetParameterValues command; receiving a SetApplyParameterTime command to modify the applying opportunity of the unapplied parameter of the managed device, which is generated by the parameter modifying command from the managing device; sending a third command response to the managing device indicating that the applying opportunity of the unapplied parameter of the managed device, which is generated by the parameter modifying command, is set according to the SetApplyParameterTime command from the managing device in response to the SetApplyParameterTime command; and applying the unapplied parameter of the managed device at a specific time, wherein, the specific time is determined by the managed device within a certain period indicated by the applying opportunity of the unapplied parameter of the managed device.
