Abstract
A network is described including a server and a network device remotely coupled to the server. The network device includes a non-volatile storage device having data stored therein, which is preferably modified solely in response to instructions generated by the server. During initialization, the network device performs a first portion of an operating system boot sequence then generates and forwards trigger data, which includes identification information for identifying the network device, to the server. In response, the server generates action data, which includes one or more data update instructions for modifying the data stored within the non-volatile storage device. Following a second portion of the operating system boot sequence, the action data is forwarded from the server to the network device. If the action data includes one or more data update instructions, the network device performs the one or more data update instructions and repeats the operating system boot sequence.
