  • Patent number: 10534600
    Abstract: Method and system (10) of remote management in a network (2, 100), the network (2, 100) comprising a plurality of nodes (110) to be managed by a remote controller (1), the nodes (110) having each at least one characterizing parameter corresponding to any of predetermined instances of said at least one characterizing parameter, said at least one characterizing parameter being selected from the group consisting of: vendor, model, hardware version, firmware version, chipset type, wherein: the remote controller (1) identify the nodes (110), including identification of said at least one characterizing parameter; the remote controller (1) accesses a database (14) comprising said predetermined instances of said at least one characterizing parameter associated with respective upgrade procedures and controller firmwares, specific for each instance of said at least one characterizing parameters, the controller firmwares implementing a uniform set of features among the nodes (110) and enabling the nodes (110) to be mana

  • Publication number: 20130016628
    Abstract: A method of remote management in a network having a plurality of nodes to be managed by a remote controller has an agent device that makes initial contact with the remote controller in order to establish a connection with the remote controller. After the connection is established, the remote controller executes a discovery procedure through intermediation of the agent device for discovering the plurality of nodes. After executing the discovery procedure, the remote controller executes an identification procedure through intermediation of the agent device for identifying the discovered nodes, including identification of at least one characterizing parameter such as model, vendor, manufacturer, software version, hardware version, firmware version, serial number and MAC address. The remote controller manages the discovered and identified nodes through intermediation of the agent device, by using managing procedures specific for the identified nodes.
