摘要:
A service is configured by provisioning the service for a facility on a network access device (NAD). The service endpoint is created in an operationally disabled state responsive to provisioning the service. A first network interface unit (NIU) is detected connecting to the facility. The first NIU has an identification code associated therewith. The service transitions to an operationally enabled state responsive to detecting the first NIU connecting to the facility. The identification code is associated with the facility. The first NIU is detected disconnecting from the facility. The service transitions to an operationally disabled state responsive to detecting the first NIU disconnecting from the facility. A second NIU is detected connecting to the facility. The second NIU has an identification code associated therewith. The identification code of the second NIU is compared with the identification code of the first NIU. The service transitions to an operationally enabled state if the identification code of the second NIU matches the identification code of the first NIU indicating that the first and second NIUs are the same NIU.
