Operations of a communication network may include receiving an initiating
communication from an initiating device directed to a network
administration application, wherein the initiating communication includes
an identification of the initiating device and an identification of the
network administration application. A target device for which action is
being requested may be identified by the initiating device, and a command
communication may be transmitted from the network service application to
a subscriber line providing service for the target device. More
particularly, the command communication may include the identification of
the initiating device, an identification of the target device, and a code
identifying the action being requested by the initiating communication.
