069 ACS to mass deploy, administer and manage their TR-069-ready CPE remotely. The purpose of this whitepaper is to demonstrate how to establish a connection between an M2M CDMA Router and an ACS server and how to perform a firmware upgrade remotely via TR-069 on M2M CDMA Routers.
Ensure the relevant version of firmware is loaded in the M2M CDMA Router that supports TR-069 Ensure the M2M CDMA Router is loaded with a test SIM that supports an accessible WAN IP address. In this white paper, the SIM used in the M2M CDMA Router has a public IP address.
CPE TR-069 Connection Request user name and password used in this white paper are for test purposes only. Prior to configuring the M2M CDMA Router, the device product class name and serial number must be registered on the Auto Configuration Server.
