The document provides an overview of TR-069, a standard for remotely managing customer premises equipment (CPE). It describes what TR-069 is designed for (remote configuration of CPE devices by an Auto Configuration Server/ACS), defines key terms like ACS and CPE, and outlines the communication process between CPE devices and the ACS including how sessions are initialized and what they involve. It also discusses benefits of managing devices via TR-069 and compares TR-069 to SNMP.

MTCNA – MTCWE – MTCRE – MTCTCE What is TR069 The CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP), published by The Broadband Forum as TR-069, specifies a standard communication mechanism for the remote management of end-user devices. It defines a protocol for the secure auto- configuration of a TR-069 device and incorporates other management functions into a common framework. www.friendly-tech.com What is TR069 designed for? TR-069 enables remote and safe configuration of network devices called CPE. Configuration is managed by a central server called an ACS.
https://www.avsystem.com What is an ACS Auto Configuration Server - software that manages devices remotely. AVSystem UMP is an example of the ACS.
https://www.avsystem.com What is an CPE Customer Premises Equipment - any equipment used by customers which can be managed by the ACS. CPE is commonly called a device.
https://www.avsystem.com How to connect a device to the ACS? • ACS URL - an Internet address of the ACS, which is accessible from this device. • Periodic Inform Interval - defines a frequency of communication with the ACS. • Username and password - verification data is optional. It depends on the ACS requirements and an expected security level. https://www.avsystem.com What does the communication between the device and the ACS look like? • The connection between the device and the ACS is not permanent. • The device establishes the connection with the ACS only at specific points in time. It usually lasts several seconds, just enough to exchange all necessary messages between CPE and the ACS. This short exchange of messages is called a provisioning session. https://www.avsystem.com The provisioning session
• Session initialization • Authentication • Device identification • Tasks execution on the device • Session closure https://www.avsystem.com When does the device start a session with the ACS?
• The ACS URL is saved or changed on the device or the
device is reset to factory settings (the device communicates it as BOOTSTRAP). • A new periodic visit is to begin according to the value set in Periodic Inform Interval (the device communicates it as PERIODIC). https://www.avsystem.com When does the device start a session with the ACS?
• The device responds to the ACS request for immediate
connection (the device communicates it as CONNECTION REQUEST). • A value of a parameter for which active notification is enabled changes (the device communicates it as VALUE CHANGE). • The device is reset or is reconnected to the power supply (the device communicates it as BOOT). https://www.avsystem.com When does the device start a session with the ACS? • During one of the previous sessions the ACS ordered the device to initiate the contact with ScheduleInform command (the device communicates it as SCHEDULED). • The device wants to report execution of previously ordered download or upload methods (the device communicates it as TRANSFER COMPLETE). • The device wants to confirm a previously ordered diagnostic (the device communicates it as DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETE). When does the device start a session with the ACS?
• The manufacturer of the device can add custom events that
will also make the device connect to the ACS. https://www.avsystem.com Why should I be aware of reasons for session initialization? • You can order the device to perform various tasks depending on a particular context, for example, when the device connects for the first time. • You can analyze reasons for last visits and find out abnormalities regarding device’s activities. https://www.avsystem.com Can the ACS initialize a session with the device?
No, it cannot. The session can be started only by the device.
However, the ACS can send a request to establish connection, that is Connection Request, which makes the device contact the ACS if it is properly implemented.
https://www.avsystem.com Is TR-069 secure?
Yes, it is. TR-069 provides several mechanisms that guarantee
robust security. Authentication Username and password, SSL/TLS certificates Communication HTTPS Other Firewall - IP addresses limited to a safe pool What are the benefits of managing devices via TR-069? • It offers a greater control over devices’ settings in comparison to managing them using configuration files. • It shortens time needed for installing the devices at the customers’ premises thanks to sending the initial configuration automatically. • It reduces a number of engineers’ visits thanks to a possibility of performing crucial operations remotely. https://www.avsystem.com What are the benefits of managing devices via TR-069? • Changing configuration, turning services off/on and performing diagnosis. • It facilitates maintenance work such as upgrading device's firmware and backing up its configuration. What is more, these long lasting operations can be scheduled to take place off-peak hours. • It reduces failures thanks to network optimization settings for devices, for example by setting the best Wi-Fi channels. What are the benefits of managing devices via TR-069? • It automates the control of the network state through monitoring. • It collects data that can be used in business analysis, for example, detecting active users to whom additional offers can be made. https://www.avsystem.com TR069 vs SNMP Feature SNMP TR-069 The TR-069 is a standard to Protocol to communicate with communicate with all CPEs. The concept specific CPE TR-069 is not only a protocol but includes business rules. TR-069 includes : Set /Get, traps, create object, Delete object, File download, File Supported commands from SNMP includes only: Get/Set upload, Reboot, reset, server side and traps. diagnostics commands (Ping, loopback, etc) + support of additional RPCs TR069 vs SNMP Feature SNMP TR-069 Zero Touch provisioning Per CPE type (if available) Yes, part of the standard Diagnostics and monitoring Per CPE type (if available) Yes, part of the standard Data Monitoring No Yes Enforcing Carrier’s policy on No Yes CPE & Access Control Firmware upgrade Not part of the protocol Yes Security Not part of the protocol Full security More adopted by the main No Yes carriers Built-in ability to manage No. Each CPE type requires In-dependant of CPE vendor or multiple types of CPEs customizations CPE type. What is a RPC Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that one program can use to request a service from a program located in another computer on a network without having to understand the network's details. A procedure call is also sometimes known as a function call or a subroutine call. searchmicroservices.techtarget.com What do I need to implement TR069 on a MikroTik What do I need to implement TR069 on a MikroTik What do I need to implement TR069 on a MikroTik What do I need to implement TR069 on a MikroTik
