1| Introduction
Objects and parameters
The data model is a set of parameters, modelled in a tree structure. In this tree structure, an object is a
container for other objects and/or parameters.
Vendor specific objects and parameters
The name of a vendor specific parameter or object, not contained within another vendor specific object, has
the form
X_<VENDOR>_VendorSpecificName . Names of parameters and objects within another vendor
specific object must not be prefixed.
<VENDOR> is a unique vendor identifier, which can be either an OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) or a
domain name. This OUI or domain name must be assigned to the organization that defined the parameter,
which is not necessarily the same as the vendor of the CPE or ACS.
For vendor specific parameters of the Thomson Gateway, i.e. Thomson Gateway proprietary parameters,
<VENDOR> has value 000E50 .
Path names
To identify a parameter or object in the data model, path names are used. Both complete and partial path
names are supported:
Complete path name : a complete path name is the name of a parameter.
For example “InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.SoftwareVersion”.
Partial path name : a partial path name ends with a “.” (dot) and is the name of an object. If multiple
instances of an object can exist, the object name is followed by the place holder “{i}.”. To identify a single
object instance, this place holder must be replaced by an instance number.
For example “InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.” or “InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.{i}.”.
To identify the full data model tree , use the partial path name “InternetGatewayDevice.”.
Following illustration shows some examples:
