What is TR-069? — It is a technical specification that defines the CWMP (CPE WAN Management Protocol) protocol for managing customer-premises equipment through a global network, with the aim of standardizing and unifying principles for managing customer-premises equipment. CWMP is an application-level protocol that uses SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) as an information transfer tool – an extension of HTTP. All data is transmitted in XML format.
According to the specification, an auto-configuration server (ACS – Auto Configuration Server) must be located on the provider’s territory, which organizes interaction with customer-premises equipment (CPE), that is a set-top box located at the client. Such a server processes requests from devices and is able to connect additional services.
The implementation of TR-069 client is the most optimal solution for operators who already use this specification, as it greatly simplifies the process of integrating operator software into inext products.
The main advantages of using TR-069 are:
- Ability to manage devices with dynamic IP;
- Improved security of communication and data transfer from or to the device thanks to the use of HTTPS;
- Ability to manage devices in a private network;
- Ability to configure zero-touch configuration;
- Ability to manage devices from different vendors.
From now on, operators will not have to weigh up how to manage their devices while using inext products. Updating firmware, rebooting devices, sending messages to the device, viewing and analyzing logs and performance, diagnostics – that is a short list of what guarantees the use of TR-069 on inext set-top boxes.
