in the system shown in fig. 7, the method shown in fig. 8 is operated to upgrade the set-top box equipment in the system on line, and the IPTV private network connected with the set-top box equipment is switched to the public network; firstly, a management platform is connected with an upgrade server through the Internet or the public network and accesses the upgrade server through the Internet or the public network to acquire a URL (Uniform resource locator) downloaded by an OTT application APK (android application package) and store the acquired URL (Uniform resource locator); the front end of the business system can be connected with a business hall system of an operator, after a user goes to the business hall to transact related business, the business system generates work order information according to business contents transacted by the user, for example, the OTT business of a set top box transacted by the user in the business hall, the business system generates work order information according to the OTT business of the set top box transacted by the user, and the work order information comprises transacted business types, business contents, user names, equipment numbers, related address information and the like; after the business system generates work order information, the work order information is sent to the management platform; after receiving the work order information sent by the service system, the management platform analyzes the work order information and extracts relevant Address information from the work order information, wherein the relevant Address information comprises an MAC Address and an IP Address, the MAC Address (Media Access Control Address) is a media access control Address, also called a local area network Address (LAN Address), and the MAC Address, an Ethernet Address (Ethernet Address) or a Physical Address (Physical Address) is an Address for confirming the position of network equipment and is used for uniquely identifying one equipment in a network; the IP address (Internet Protocol Address) is an Internet protocol address or an Internet protocol address, is a unified address format provided by the IP protocol, and is used for distributing a logic address for each network and each host on the Internet, so as to shield the difference in physical addresses; the management platform obtains a MAC address of 08:00:20:0A:8C:6D, searching a corresponding set top box from the set top box equipment managed by the set top box according to the MAC address, wherein the set top box corresponding to the MAC address is the set top box 4, after searching the set top box corresponding to the address information in the work order information by the management platform, modifying a main authentication address of the set top box according to an acquired URL (uniform resource locator), wherein the set top box loads the main authentication address when the set top box works in each running, jumps to an authentication interface through the main authentication address, generates authentication information according to configuration parameters of the set top box, authenticates the authentication interface according to the authentication information, and after the authentication is passed, the set top box accesses a corresponding private network through a connected light cat, acquires data through the private network and provides the acquired data to the set top box, so that corresponding television service is provided for a user; after the management platform modifies the main authentication address of the set top box into a URL (Uniform resource locator), the set top box is electrified to start working, the modified main authentication address is loaded, and the interface for downloading the OTT soft terminal installation package is entered through the URL (Uniform resource locator), and the OTT soft terminal installation package is downloaded and installed; after the set top box is installed to finish an OTT soft terminal, the management platform performs ID inquiry on the optical modem connected with the set top box 4, because different interfaces are arranged on the optical modem, different functions are realized through the different interfaces, different IDs are arranged on the different interfaces of the optical modem for convenient management, the required interfaces can be determined by inquiring the IDs of the interfaces of the optical modem, the management platform determines the itv interface of the optical modem by inquiring the IDs of the interfaces of the optical modem, the management platform obtains the current network connection parameters of the interfaces of the optical modem itv, the management platform analyzes the current network connection parameters of the interfaces of the optical modem itv, determines that the network currently connected with the itv interface of the optical modem connected with the target set top box is the Internet or the public network, and the management platform does not modify the network connection strategy of the interfaces of the optical modem itv; if the management platform determines that the network currently connected to the itv interface of the optical cat connected to the target set-top box is the IPTV private network of the operator through analysis of the current network connection parameters of the interface of the optical cat itv, the current network connection parameters of the interface of the optical cat itv are modified into network parameters of the internet or the public network, the network connection parameters of the interface of the optical cat itv are changed, and the interface of the optical cat itv is reconnected to the internet or the public network, so that switching of network policies of the set-top box 4 is completed.
