Introduction

                         Remote Feature Control (RFC) refers to a specific framework and mechanism incorporated within RDK middleware to enable the remote management and control of features in RDK-based Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) platforms. It allows operators or service providers to remotely enable, disable, configure, or update specific functionalities without physically accessing each device. RFC provides a standardized method for managing features, reducing operational overhead and enabling selective feature deployments.


 Test Procedure


1. Verify the existing(default) value of TR181 parameters

Existing DM
root@Filogic-GW:~# dmcli eRT getv Device.X_Comcast_com_ParentalControl.ManagedSites.Enable
CR component name is: eRT.com.cisco.spvtg.ccsp.CR
subsystem_prefix eRT.
Execution succeed.
Parameter    1 name: Device.X_Comcast_com_ParentalControl.ManagedSites.Enable
               type:       bool,    value: false 

root@Filogic-GW:~# dmcli eRT getv Device.X_Comcast_com_ParentalControl.ManagedServices.Enable
CR component name is: eRT.com.cisco.spvtg.ccsp.CR
subsystem_prefix eRT.
Execution succeed.
Parameter    1 name: Device.X_Comcast_com_ParentalControl.ManagedServices.Enable
               type:       bool,    value: true 

root@Filogic-GW:~# dmcli eRT getv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.PresenceDetect.Enable
CR component name is: eRT.com.cisco.spvtg.ccsp.CR
subsystem_prefix eRT.
Execution succeed.
Parameter    1 name: Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.PresenceDetect.Enable
               type:       bool,    value: false


2. Refer below url to configure xconf  for adding RFC Feature and Feature rule in xconf to set the above DM parameters

Feature Validation : Xconf Server#FeatureValidation:RemoteFeatureControl(RFC)

3. Please wait 1 min 

4. Run the below command,

systemctl restart rfc

5. check the below path to confirm rfc files are created or not
