SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING MEDIA NETWORK RESOURCES
First Claim
1. A computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer instructions for:
- querying a network component for connectivity requests presented by one or more self-describing services;
presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) to identify configuration settings available to the one or more media devices requesting the self-describing services;
receiving a selection for an applied configuration setting from the configuration settings available; and
managing a network connectivity of the media devices to receive the one or more self-describing services from the network component in accordance with the applied configuration setting.

Abstract
A system and method for configuring media resources is disclosed. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a network element having a controller element to present a graphical user interface (GUI) to identify available configuration settings for one or more self-describing services offered to one or more media devices in the network, and manage a network connectivity of the media devices in the network to receive the one or more self-describing services in accordance with a selection of the available configuration settings. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
