1. A method for managing data transfer between a configurable device and a management system, comprising:
- in a processor, generating device data;
storing the device data;
detecting a polling request;
prioritizing the device data to identify low priority items therein;
transmitting, in a first common communications session and in response to the polling request, at least a portion of the device data and a configuration request; and
receiving a configuration file corresponding to the polling response request wherein the step of transmitting includes transmitting the low priority items with the configuration request.

8. A computer program product for use with a device on a communications network, comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer usable medium having computer readable program code modules embodied in said medium for managing data transfer between a configurable device and a management system; a computer readable first program code module for causing a computer to generate device data; a computer readable second program code module for causing a computer to detect a polling request; a computer readable third program code module for causing a computer to transmit, in a first common communications session and in response to the polling request, at least a portion of the device data and a configuration request; a computer readable fourth program code module for causing a computer to receive a configuration file corresponding to the configuration request; a computer readable fifth program code module for causing a computer to store the device data; and a computer readable sixth program code module for causing a computer to prioritize the device data to identify low priority items therein, wherein the step of transmitting includes transmitting the low priority items with the configuration request. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus for managing data transfer among a plurality of entities in communication over a data network, comprising:
-
a terminal adapter device configured to generate device data, prioritize device data to identify low priority items therein, detect a polling request, transmit the low priority items and a configuration request over the data network in a first common communications session; and a management system configured to receive the low priority items and the configuration request from the terminal adapter device, select a new configuration file from a plurality of configuration files, and transmit the new configuration file to the terminal adapter. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
