**Figure 4.4.1.2-1: Home network deployment**
An access point discovers another device with management functions from the network.
The secrets seeding is done as part of the initialisation of the device. Device factory reset clears the state and re-initilises the discovery function.
The access point is a device that is physically deployed to the service requesting users home.
It is a router, switch, modem, wireless or wired device that is controlled and governed by a NMS.
The access point provides connectivity for the home making the upstream connection technology transparent for the user.
There can be multiple devices in the same network, and the NMS provides supporting services like DHCP and DNS caching.
The NMS is either local to the device, runing on a different device within the same network, or a RDPS.
The local access point can serve multiple devices in the same network and provide supporting services like DHCP and DNS caching.
Provided supporting services can be bare minimum, but they can include remote connectivity options like VPN server depending on the product.
The device actively sends metrics towards the NMS where from the user can perceive the operation of the device and can control the configuration which is set to the device.
Commonly, user does this with a browser, but other implementations can rely on command-line interface, for example.
