Surely their devices don't work perfectly or someone preconfigures something wrong. Surely there are errors that need to be dealt with.
Where I'm going with this is that DSL and cable use DOCSIS and TR-069. Those are out-of-band management and configuration systems. Why don't we have more of that? From there I just moved up the chain. How are the next layer of devices configured and managed? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman via Af" <af@afmug.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2014 7:42:29 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Big Boy provisioning Configure it on the shop and sent it to some tech guy to plug it in?
