Chapter 17 Remote Management

17.10 Technical Reference

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 NBG4604. 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.
Figure 96 TR-069 Example
In this example, the NBG4604 receives data from at least 2 sources: an HTTP
server for handling web services and an ACS, for configuring the NBG4604
remotely. All three servers are owned and operated by the client's Internet Service
Provider. However, without the configuration settings from the ACS, the NBG4604
cannot access the other server. Once the NBG4604 receives its configuration
settings and implements them, it can connect to the other server. If the settings
change, it will once again be unable to connect until it receives its updates from
the ACS.
The NBG4604 can be configured to periodically check for updates from the auto-
configuration server so that the end user need not be worried about it.
