4.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

The CPEs enabled with CWMP can be remotely managed by an ACS. The CWMP function
facilitates CPE management, saves maintenance costs, and improves troubleshooting efficiency.

Data Preparation
To configure CWMP, you need the following data.
Issue 02 (2012-03-30)
– Address of the ACS
– User name of the ACS
– Password of the ACS
– Flag indicating that Inform messages are sent automatically
– Interval at which Inform messages are sent
– Time when Inform messages are sent
– User name of the CPE
– Password of the CPE
CPE file uploading and downloading
A network administrator can store the key files such as system startup files and
configuration files to the file server. If the ACS detects that a file is updated, it requests the
CPE to download the file. After the CPE receives the request, it automatically downloads
the file from the specified file server according to the file name and download address
provided in the ACS request. After downloading the file, the CPE checks file validity and
reports the download result to the ACS.
CPE status and performance monitoring
An ACS monitors the status and performance of all the connected CPEs. Different CPEs
have different performance and functions. Therefore, an ACS must be able to identify each
type of CPE and monitor the configurations and configuration changes of each CPE.
CWMP allows network administrators to define monitoring parameters and obtain the CPE
status and statistics by using an ACS.
NOTE
The configurations on the ACS are not mentioned here.
Ensuring that there is a reachable route between the router and the ACS
