Device-specific pre-provisoining access-limiting for a modem and a consumer premise equipment device
Patent number: 8726306Abstract: A method of initializing, provisioning, and managing a cable modem and a customer premise equipment device includes, prior to receiving the configuration file for the cable modem, providing an equipment identification message containing a description of the customer premise equipment device connected to the cable modem. In the case where the cable modem has yet to be provisioned, the configuration file received from the network server is a particular access-limiting configuration file that is selected from a group of access-limiting configuration files. The selection of the particular access-limiting configuration file is based on the description of the customer premise equipment device in the equipment identification message. This allows different devices to have different network restrictions or different walled gardens.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Comcast Cable Holdings, LLCInventors: Pak Siripunkaw, Emery J Weber -
