Abstract:
1. A customer premises equipment (CPE) comprising: a storage module that stores a configuration file of the CPE and a data model of an operator server; a communication module that electronically connects the CPE to the operator server to download configuration data from the operator server, the configuration data including configuration parameters, configuration parameter names and configuration parameter values of the operator server; a generation module that generates a CPE parameter tree based on parameters relating to the CPE device that are stored in the configuration file of the CPE, and an operator parameter tree based on the configuration data of the operator server; a determination module that determines if configuration parameters of the CPE parameter tree correspond to configuration parameters of the operator parameter tree individually, without comparing configuration parameter names; an update module that assigns configuration parameter values of the operator parameter tree to the configuration parameter values of the CPE parameter tree when the configuration parameters of the CPE parameter tree correspond to the configuration parameters of the operator parameter tree individually; and a location confirmation module that confirms if a configuration parameter to be updated is in a first location in the operator parameter tree which corresponds to a second location in the CPE parameter tree; and the update module further assigns the configuration parameter in the first location of the operator parameter tree to the configuration parameter in the second location of the CPE parameter tree.
