BS IEC 62481-8 is the eighth part of IEC 62481 specifies guidelines for Diagnostics. The DLNA Diagnostics guidelines focus mostly on the collection of data through test actions and queries.
The user can be an operator accessing the Diagnostics Application through a TR-069 (an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices) management interface, or a technician or end-user accessing it through a browser or screen interface as shown in Figure 1.
Note: The procedures for troubleshooting and remedies are outside the scope of the DLNA guidelines.
BS IEC 62481-8 on DLNA HOME NETWORKED DEVICE INTEROPERABILITY GUIDELINES- Diagnostics is useful for:
The diagnostics system usage has a Diagnostics Controller capability to instruct a Diagnostics Endpoint capability to execute specific diagnostics actions.
Consumers are acquiring, viewing, and managing an increasing amount of digital media (photos, music, and video) on devices in the consumer electronics (CE), mobile, and personal computer (PC) domains. As such, they want to conveniently enjoy the content, regardless of the source, across different devices and locations in the home. The digital home vision integrates the Internet, mobile, and broadcast networks through a seamless, interoperable network, which will provide a unique opportunity for manufacturers and consumers alike.
In order to deliver on this vision, a common set of industry design guidelines is needed that allows vendors to participate in a growing marketplace, leading to more innovation, simplicity, and value for consumers. BS IEC 62481-8 serves that purpose and provides vendors with the information needed to build interoperable networked platforms and devices for the digital home.
BS IEC 62481-8 helps you ensure that the User or management system interacts with Diagnostics Application in a seamless and efficient manner.
