Description

A networking device adapted for use as a gateway for a local network, and associated method
Technical field of the invention
The present invention relates to the field of a networking device adapted for use as a gateway for a local network, and to an associated method. Background of the invention
Home service gateways or home sensor gateways are network elements which typically form the gateway between a local network, e.g. a home network, and the access network.
Today these gateways are capable of being remotely managed by means of a remote management protocol as for instance TR- 069.
When a user who tries to physically install a home service gateway (HSG) at home, and encounters a problem in doing so, this may be caused by a failure in the setup of a remote management session between the automatic configuration server (ACS) and the HSG. Today the installer has to contact the operator in order to identify the problem, which is a burden.
Summary of the invention
It is an objective of the present disclosure to disclose a home network server which guides a installer in the
detection of problems during the installation process.
According to the present disclosure, the above defined objective is realized by a networking device according to embodiments of the present invention, the networking device being adapted for use as a gateway for a local network, the local network being adapted for being remotely managed by means of a remote management protocol, wherein the
networking device comprises a controller for detecting whether the networking device is taking part in a remote management protocol session, and an indicator controlled by the controller for indicating whether the networking device is taking part in a remote management protocol session.
By detecting the participation of the HSG in a remote management protocol session, and indicating the
participation of no participation status by an indicator, the user who is installing the HSG is directly informed about a possible failure as to this respect. He is thereby guided in detecting which type of problems are occurring during the installation process. The simple detection of the participation of the HSG in a remote management protocol session may take away the need to contact the operator, e.g. by phone. Contacting the operator can be extremely
burdensome for the customer, which is often guided through option menus and/or is put in waiting queues.

According to preferred embodiments, the controller is further adapted for identifying different states of the remote management protocol session, and for controlling the one or the plurality of lighting devices to correspond to the different states of the remote management protocol session by generating different emitting patterns for the different states. Some of the different states of the remote management protocol session can be for instance BOOT (or init), UP (or Connected, DOWN (or Disconnected) . The
different emitting patterns may be defined by using
different emitting states of a single, or of a plurality of lighting devices. The different emitting patterns may correspond to a variation of light emission in time of the one or more lighting devices. For instance a pattern may be defined by the frequency of flickering of a single lighting device .
According to preferred embodiments, the indicator can be used to indicate another state of the networking device, the other state being not related to the participation in a remote management protocol session. One or more lighting devices may also be used to indicate other states of the networking device, as for instance main power on or off state, IP connectivity or not, etc. The controller can then be adapted for detecting these other states, and for
controlling the indicator accordingly in order to indicate such other states.

Brief description of the drawings
The accompanying drawings are used to illustrate embodiments of the present invention.
Fig. 1 illustrates embodiments according to the present invention .
Description of illustrative embodiments The Broadband Forum is an international industry consortium of service providers, equipment and component manufacturers and other interested parties, focussing on developing multiservice broadband packet networking specifications
addressing interoperability, architecture and management. The work enables home, business and converged broadband services, encompassing customer, access and backbone
networks. More information about the Broadband Forum is available from its internet site http :/ /www . broadband- forum . org/ .
One of those technical specifications is the Broadband forum's Technical report TR-069 (e.g. issue 1, amendment 3, Issue Date: November 2010 Protocol Version: 1.2). The TR-069 Management Protocol and corresponding network architectures allow communication between a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) and an automatic configuration server (ACS) . It defines a mechanism that encompasses secure auto- configuration of a CPE and also incorporates other CPE management functions into a common framework.
Also other remote management protocols methods do exist, as for instance SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and OMA-DM (Opan Mobile Alliance Device Management) .
The description of aspects of the present invention is performed by means of particular embodiments and with reference to certain drawings but the invention is not limited thereto. Depicted figures are only schematic and should not be considered as limiting.
According to an example, illustrated in Fig. 1, a Home
Service Gateway (HSG) being the gateway between a home network and an access network, is connected to an automatic configuration server over an IP based network.
The automatic configuration server (1) can be for instance the remote management server defined in the framework of the TR-069 protocol. When the HSG establishes a TR-069
connection with the automatic configuration server (HDM (Home Device Manager) /ALM (application lifecycle
management)), the TR-069 agent running in the HSG, for instance running on an OSGI platform, controls a management indication light which is positioned on the housing of the HSG in order to indicate that the management session is active (2) . It can for instance cause a LED light to start flickering. The home service gateway can for instance comprise a dedicated LED, or can use a different emission pattern for a multi-purpose LED, in which different
variations of emitting states of the LED correspond to different indicators. The installer can then easily be informed about the status of the network management session.
While some embodiments described herein include some but not other features included in other embodiments, combinations of features of different embodiments are meant to be within the scope of the invention, and form different embodiments, as would be understood by the skilled person.
