Abstract
A customer premises gateway (CPG) for providing access and control of one or more devices located at a customer premise and coupled to the CPG through one or more physical interfaces is disclosed. The CPG comprises one or more processors in communication with each other. The one or more processors are programmed for associating an application programming interface (API) specific to a particular device with an Internetworking protocol, Transport protocol, software driver, and hardware driver. The processors are also programmed for querying a particular device and retrieving API specification information from the device using the API specific to the device, and generating a Markup-Language-type page for the device in accordance with the API specification information for the device for displaying accessible or controllable parameters of the device. The CPG also includes memory for storing the API specification information corresponding to the one or more devices. A Markup-Language-type Web browser is couplable to the CPG through a broadband communication link for viewing the Markup-Language-type pages and controlling and monitoring the devices.
