Presets...

[Dan Morphis]

Here is how presets work. Say you have a preset setting the
InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.PeriodicInformInterval to 30
seconds. When the CPE first contacts GenieACS, it sends a few bits of
information about itself. The next thing Genie does is send a
refreshObject: "", which refreshes the entire object model. When the CPE
sends the data back to genie, it then compares the values it got back to
what the preset is.

If the value from the CPE for
InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.PeriodicInformInterval is not 30,
then GenieACS will send a setParameterValue for
InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.PeriodicInformInterval: 30.

If you tell GenieACS to set
the InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.PeriodicInformInterval on a CPE
to say 31 seconds. Genie will tell the CPE to set it to 31 seconds. Then,
Genie will tell the CPE to set it back to 30. Ask me how I know :).

To answer the other part of your question, the GUI is getting/setting the
presets in GenieACS. Not the other way around.

Custom commands allow you to do something special for your CPE. Things that
you might not be able to do via TR[069|098|etc].
