CPE status and performance monitoring

An ACS can monitor the parameters of a CPE connected to it. Different CPEs have different performances
and functionalities. Therefore the ACS must be able to identify each type of CPE and monitor the current
configuration and configuration changes of each CPE. CWMP also allows the administrator to define
monitor parameters and get the parameter values through an ACS, so as to get the CPE status and
statistics information.
The status and performance that can be monitored by an ACS include:
• Manufacture name (Manufacturer)
ManufacturerOUI
•
• SerialNumber
HardwareVersion
•
SoftwareVersion
•
• DeviceStatus
UpTime
•
• Configuration file (ConfigFile)
ACS address (URL)
•
ACS username (Username)
•
• ACS password (Password)
PeriodicInformEnable
•
PeriodicInformInterval
•
PeriodicInformTime
•
CPE address (ConnectionRequestURL)
•
• CPE username (ConnectionRequestUsername)
CPE password (ConnectionRequestPassword)
•

CWMP mechanism

Auto-connection between the ACS and a CPE

When a CPE starts up for the first time, it automatically obtains an IP address from the DHCP server,
which informs the CPE of the following information:
• The URL address of the ACS (assigned by the DHCP server through Option 43)
Username and password for connecting the ACS (assigned by the DHCP server through Option 43)
•
DNS server address (directly assigned)
•
After the CPE receives the above information, it has the IP address of the ACS resolved by the DNS server,
and sends a connection request to the ACS. If the CPE passes the authentication with the acquired
username and password, the connection between the ACS and the CPE is established.
If the current session is not finished but the connection between ACS and CPE is interrupted, the CPE
automatically establishes a new connection with the ACS until the number of CPE auto-connection retries
reaches the limit.
