1| Introduction
Inform events
The Inform RPC contains the Inform event argument, to indicate the cause(s) of the transaction session
establishment.
Following table gives an overview of the different Inform events and their use:
Initial handshake
The initial handshake between the CPE and the ACS takes place when the CPE contacts the ACS for the very
first time or due to a change of the ACS URL.
Following actions are taken during the initial handshake:
 The CPE sends an initial Inform RPC with the “0 BOOTSTRAP” event.
 The CPE authenticates itself to the ACS.
 The ACS requests the list of methods that are supported by the CPE using the GetRPCMethods RPC.
 The ACS activates the required services on the CPE, according to the “activation policies”. For example,
the ACS configures the voice service and wireless service.
Forced reboot
The Reboot RPC causes the CPE to reboot. This forced reboot might be desired to restart the Thomson
Gateway clearing all state.
Event Description
0 BOOTSTRAP The first time that the CPE contacts the ACS.
1BOOT After a power up or reset of the CPE.
2 PERIODIC The session is established on a periodic Inform interval.
3 SCHEDULED Scheduled by a ScheduleInform RPC.
4 VALUE CHANGE The value of a parameter of the Inform ParameterList argument
changed. This can be a parameter that is marked by the ACS for
notification (either active or passive) or a change of one of following
parameters:
 InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.SoftwareVersion
 InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.ProvisioningCode
 InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.ConnectionRequestURL
 InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.{i}.WANConnectionDevice.{j}.
WAN{*}Connection.{k}.ExternalIPAddress
6 CONNECTION REQUEST The session is established due to an asynchronous connection request
from the ACS.
7 TRANSFER COMPLETE Indicates the completion of a Download (or Upload). The
TransferComplete RPC is called during this transaction session.
8 DIAGNOSTICS COMPLETE Completion of one or more diagnostics tests (e.g. IPPingDiagnostics)
M <method name> The Inform RPC is triggered by another RPC method (M = Master):
 Reboot
 Download
 ScheduleInform
 Upload (optional)
