TR-069 Provisioning
TR-069 is a standard for remote management of CPE (Customer Premises Equipment)
defined by the DSL Broadband Forum. TR-069 uses common transport mechanisms
(HTTP and HTTPS) for communication with CPE. The HTTP(S) messages contain
XML-RPC methods defined in the standard for configuration and management of the
device.
Typically, one router on customer premises provides Internet connectivity to many phones
as indicated in the above diagram. The ACS can now manage the router and all phones
located behind it remotely.
What does remote management mean?
Where provisioning was used to provide configuration information to many phones at once,
remote management takes this one step further. Of course, it is still possible to configure
the phone remotely when it boots up, but with TR-069 the phone can actually be managed
remotely.
In addition to the configuration you can also, for example:
Reboot the phone
Customize the phone look and feel
Push XML-Minibrowser pages to the phone
Update the firmware of the device
