In this use case, the network manangement system controls the user's home network of devices and an access point providing connectivity for the user's home to outside networks, usually public. Access points are devices such as a router, switch, modem, or other wireless or wired device controlled and governed by the NMS and physically deployed to the user who requests service's home. An access point also make the upstream connection technology transparent to the user through the NMS.
In this use case, the network manangement system controls the user's home network of devices and often acts as a gateway or an access point providing connectivity for the user's home to outside networks, usually public. Access points are devices such as a router, switch, modem, or other wireless or wired device controlled and governed by the NMS and physically deployed to the service requesting users home.
The device can also make the upstream connection technology transparent to the user.
Depending on the available infrastructure in the deployment location, the connectivity can be through a mobile network or through a figer optics network to name a few alternatives.
The NMS in this use case is most often locaslly installed on the access point device but may be running on a different device within the same network, or as a remote service, an RDPS.

The access point devices actrively send metrics to the NMS and can serve multiple devices in the same network. Acces point devices also provide supporting services like DHCP and DNS caching, but beyond such a minimum they can offer more extensive services such as remote connectivity options like VPN server depending on the product.

Meterics from the access point and other deives within the home network are forwarded to the NMS, where the user can percieve these meterics and control the configuration of each networked device. In many deployments actual configuration control and review of metrics collected by ther NMS is achieved with an additional service or alternate piece of software, most often a browser, but sometimes is other ways, such as through a command-line interface.
