Embedded Web Server; And Tr-104 Cpe Wan Management Protocol - AudioCodes MP-20x User Manual

12.2.1 Embedded Web Server

MP-20x provides an embedded Web server with a rich Graphical User Interface (GUI). The
Web server can be accessed from the local LAN interface (e.g. by the home user) or from
the WAN interface (e.g. by the service provider support personnel). The Web GUI provides
easy and intuitive configuration of all MP-20x parameters (i.e., VoIP, network interfaces,
security, QoS and advanced system settings). In addition, the Web GUI provides status
monitoring pages, diagnostic pages and enabled firmware upgrade.
Typically, service providers do not want to configure each MP-20x manually and therefore,
they do not use the Web server in live deployments. However, the Web server is still useful
for:
Trying different configurations in the lab during the integration phases
Creating mass-configuration template files
Debugging special customer problems (by accessing the Web server from the WAN
interface)
Since the Web server allows all configuration and management operations, it is important
to protect it. The following security measures are available:
The Web server is user and password protected. Several users can be defined. A
special user with limited-access (only to the 'Quick Setup' screen) can be defined.
The access to the Web server can be blocked from the WAN and/or LAN interfaces.
Access to the Web server can be limited to specific IP addresses.
Secured HTTP (HTTPS) is supported. It is possible to enable HTTPS-only, if required.
The HTTP and/or HTTPS port can be modified (from the default 80 and 8080).
12.2.2 TR-069 and TR-104 CPE WAN Management Protocol
TR-069 is a WAN management protocol intended for communication between Customer
Premise Equipment (CPE) or residential devices (such as MP-20x), and an Auto-
Configuration Server (ACS), residing on the service provider's side. It defines a mechanism
that encompasses secure auto configuration of CPE, and also incorporates other CPE
management functions into a common framework. In simpler terms, TR-069 is a protocol
that enables remote server management of theMP-20x. Such a protocol is useful, for
example, for remotely and securely controlling MP-20x by the CPE provider. The standard
is published by the DSL Forum. TR-069 runs over SOAP/HTTP and enables device
configuration, management (including firmware upgrade), and status monitoring. TR-104 is
an extension of TR-069 for VoIP configuration and monitoring.
The TR standards are published by the DSL forum:
