HDD - Home Device Director
Key benefits:
- Easy and remote configuration
- Automated SW upgrades
- Efficient service provisioning through service
profiles
- Offers up-to-date inventory
- Automatically discovered by new DRG units
- Managed through standard web browser
The Home Device Director, HDD, is optimized for the DRG series
of Digital Residential Gateways, and enables the operator to
register, configure and manage all DRGs in the network
remotely.
When connected to the network, the DRG automatically discovers
the HDD, and the HDD, in turn configures the DRG with the desired
parameters and required software. Profiles are used for fast and
easy configuration, as well as service profiles for creation of
services to multiple DRGs.
All manageable functions in the DRG can be configured through
the HDD. This involves defining telephone line characteristics, fax
parameters, configuration of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs),
multicast behavior and network information.
HDD enables automated remote upgrade of software both of single
DRGs and of DRG clusters.
Keeping track of all DRGs managed, lets HDD offer an up-to-date
inventory of every unit connected. This information is essential in
identification and troubleshooting faulty or disconnected
units.
The HDD is also offered as an OEM alternative. For more
