Standards-Based and
Vendor-Agnostic Solution
Interoperability and multivendor man age -
ment are the key requirements set by service
providers like you in the field of home-network
management. Alcatel-Lucent is a significant
contributor to the DSL Forum’s work in this
field and has been proactive in defining and
promoting the DSL Forum’s TR-069 CPE wide
area network (WAN) man agement protocol.
This protocol describes a standard manage -
ment inter face between the residential
gateway and management systems.
As a solution for home-network manage -
ment, the Alcatel-Lucent 5580 HNM fully
complies with TR-069 and manages all CPE
that complies with this standard. To cope
with legacy devices deployed in the field, the
Alcatel-Lucent 5580 HNM also implements a
flexible object model, which makes it highly
adaptable for the manage ment of other
proprietary CPE, making it the only truly
vendor-agnostic home-man agement solution
available today.
To accelerate availability of a carrier-grade
home-network management solution, Alcatel-
Lucent has established an interoperability
lab to conduct TR-069 interoperability tests
on a wide variety of CPE. To date, more than
25 of the leading CPE vendors have been
certified for interoperability with Alcatel-
Lucent’s HNM solution.
