Object instance state out of sync between Genie and CPE

[Dan Morphis]

I wouldn't expect (nor want) the ACS to reconfigure a CPE if it was
defaulted. I have the ACS send the event to our subscriber management
software and then I decide what to do from there. If its a "known device"
(i.e. associated with a subscriber) then I configure it. If its an "unknown
device" (not associated with a subscriber) then I null out the ppp
username/pw and disable  wan ppp. We do all of our management over a
WANIPConnection on a separate pvc so we can get away with completely
disabling internet connectivity on the CPE, and still be able to configure
it.

You can actually make presets work for dynamic data, but you typically
wouldn't in practice. You create an alias in config/parameters.json using a
regex,
"InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice./^\\d+$/.WLANConfiguration./^\\d+$/.SSID"
: {"alias" : "summary.wlanSsid"}. Then you can force all the SSID's to be
"FooBar" if you wanted to by setting the preset "summary.wlanSsid" to
"FooBar". In practice, I'm not sure that its useful :)
