Description
Comtrend’s Auto-Configuration Server (CT-ACS) is a TR-069-capable server in the broadband
network, responsible for auto-configuration of the CPE. The Comtrend CT-ACS complies with the DSL
Forum’s TR-069 standard. TR-069 is a CPE WAN Management Protocol, and it provides the
communication between CPEs and ACS. It includes both a safe auto configuration, and the control of
other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. In the course of the boom of the
broadband market, the number of different Internet access possibilities are growing as well. At the
same time the configuration of this equipment becomes more complicated -- too complicated for the
end-users. For this reason the TR-069-capable CT-ACS has been developed by Comtrend. The
Comtrend CT-ACS adheres to the TR-069 standard and provides the possibility of auto configuration
of these access types. The TR-069 enabled devices can get in contact with the CT-ACS and establish
the configuration automatically. Accordingly other service functions can also be provided.
Features
The Comtrend CT-ACS application provides a web user interface that allows administrators to
perform management functions easily and conveniently. CT-ACS is intended to support a variety of
functionalities to manage a collection of CPE, including the following primary capabilities:
Auto-Configuration Provisioning
CT-ACS can provision a collection of CPE based on a variety of criteria. The provisioning
mechanism defines specific provisioning parameters to allow CPE provisioning at the time of initial
connection to the broadband access network, and the ability to re-provision at any subsequent
time. This includes support for asynchronous ACS-initiated re-provisioning of a CPE.
Firmware Image Management
CT-ACS provides tools to manage downloading of CPE firmware image files. CT-ACS provides
mechanisms for version identification, file download initiation, and notification of the CT-ACS of the
success or failure of a file download.
Status and Performance Monitoring
CT-ACS collects CPE information and statistics generated by TR-069 parameters to monitor the
CPE’s status and performance.
Diagnostics
CT-ACS uses the collected CPE information generated by TR-069 parameters to diagnose
connectivity or service issues.
Has a Build-in CWMP Interoperability Test System
The CT-ACS CWMP Interoperability Test System (ITS) is specifically designed for DSL Forum
PD-128 CWMP interoperability tests. It provides convenience and accuracy for stepping through
the interoperability tests between the CT-ACS and multiple CPEs.
