TR-069
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 MAX208M2W Series. 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 MAX208M2W Series,
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 MAX208M2W Series
and then configure it appropriately. (The ACS server which it will use must also be
configured by its administrator.)
Figure 77 TR-069 Example
In this example, the MAX208M2W Series 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 MAX208M2W Series remotely. All three servers are
owned and operated by the client’s Internet Service Provider. However, without
the configuration settings from the ACS, the MAX208M2W Series cannot access
the other two servers. Once the MAX208M2W Series 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 MAX208M2W Series can be configured to periodically check for updates from
the auto-configuration server so that the end user need not be worried about it.
