Abstract: A device and method for receiving a configuration setting update at a networked endpoint device. The method comprises: receiving a data packet from a head-end device, including one or more parameter updates including: a parameter identification, a designated parameter value for a parameter identified by the parameter identification, and a predetermined level assignment for the designated parameter value. The method further includes updating a record of two or more records of each parameter with its designated parameter value, the two or more records associated with differentiating level assignments defining a prioritized hierarchy of parameter values for the parameter at the endpoint device, where the updated record is associated with the predetermined level assignment. The method further includes running an application using a selected parameter value recorded at a highest priority level assignment of the differentiating level assignments for which parameter values are presently recorded at the endpoint device.

Abstract: A device and method for sending a configuration setting update to a networked endpoint device are provided. A head-end device in a communication system receives, from an endpoint device, a version audit that includes version information associated with parameter values set at one or more hierarchical level assignments for one or more applications used at the endpoint device, sends, to the endpoint device, a data packet including one or more parameter updates, and receives, from the endpoint device, an error message in response to the endpoint device failing to receive the data packet or an acknowledgement of receipt of the data packet.

Abstract: A system set of a utility node device, such as a kernel and/or root file system, may be updated by utilizing a multi-system set configuration. For example, the multi-system set configuration may include a first system set that is generally configured to act as an “active” set, a second system set (e.g., “idle” set) that is configured to operate when the first system set is non-operational or in an “idle” state, and a third system set that is configured to operate when the first and second system sets are non-operational. During an update of a system set, an update package may be applied to the second “idle” system set, while the first “active” system set remains operational. The utility node device may comprise a smart utility meter, sensor, control device, transformer, switch, relay, or the like.

Abstract translation: 可以通过利用多系统集合配置来更新诸如内核和/或根文件系统的效用节点设备的系统集合。 例如，多系统集合配置可以包括通常被配置为充当“活动”集合的第一系统集合，被配置为当第一系统集合 是不可操作或处于“空闲”状态，以及被配置为在第一和第二系统组不可操作时操作的第三系统组。 在更新系统集合期间，可以将更新包应用于第二“空闲”系统集，而第一“活动”系统集保持可操作。 公用事业节点装置可以包括智能公用事业计量表，传感器，控制装置，变压器，开关，继电器等。
