18.8 TR0-69
TR-069 is an abbreviation of “Technical Reference 069”, a protocol designed to
facilitate the remote management of Customer Premise Equipement (CPE), such
as the WiMAX Modem. It can be managed over a WAN by means of an Auto
Configuration Server (ACS). TR-069 is based on sending Remote Procedure Calls
(RPCs) between the ACS and the client device. RPCs are sent in Extensible Markup
Language (XML) format over HTTP or HTTPS.
An administrator can use an ACS to remotely set up the WiMAX Modem, modify its
settings, perform firmware upgrades, and monitor and diagnose it. In order to do
so, you must enable the TR-069 feature on your WiMAX Modem and then
configure it appropriately. (The ACS server which it will use must also be
configured by its administrator.)
Figure 94 TR-069 Example
In this example, the WiMAX Modem receives data from at least 3 sources: A SIP
server for handling voice calls, an HTTP server for handling web services, and an
ACS, for configuring the WiMAX Modem remotely. All three servers are owned and
operated by the client’s Internet Service Provider. However, without the
configuration settings from the ACS, the WiMAX Modem cannot access the other
two servers. Once the WiMAX Modem receives its configuration settings and
implements them, it can connect to the other servers. If the settings change, it
will once again be unable to connect until it receives its updates from the ACS.
The WiMAX Modem can be configured to periodically check for updates from the
auto-configuration server so that the end user need not be worried about it.
