Patent attributes
Systems and methods are provided for remotely managing proxy devices through a gateway device. An example method can include establishing electronic communication between the gateway device and a remotely located management server. The management server can transmit a management agent to the gateway device. The management agent can be software that is configured to receive and carry out commands provided by the management server. The management server can also transmit a plugin to the gateway device. The plugin can be configured to translate a first command, received from the management server, into a second command that is capable of being carried out by the proxy device. The method can also include transmitting the first command, including an executable instruction, from the management server to the gateway device. The first command can instruct the gateway device to cause the proxy device to perform an action.
