Method and system for service preparation of a residential network access device

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and system of service preparation of a residential network access device from one or more remote provisioning devices to prepare said residential network access device to receive a network service over a communications network. The method comprises the steps of receiving a line identifier indicating a physical line used by said residential network access device to connect to said communication network; transmitting an IP address from said one or more provisioning devices to said residential network access device for which said line identifier has been received, said IP address being a source address for said residential network access device, and transmitting software code portions to said IP address of said residential network access device, said software code portions being required for receiving said network service.

1 . A method of service preparation of a residential network access device from one or more remote provisioning devices to prepare said residential network access device to receive a network service over a communications network, said method comprising the steps of:
 receiving a line identifier indicating a physical line used by said residential network access device to connect to said communication network;   transmitting an IP address from said one or more provisioning devices to said residential network access device for which said line identifier has been received, said IP address being a source address for said residential network access device, and   transmitting software code portions to said IP address of said residential network access device, said software code portions being required for receiving said network service.
