Introduction
The NetComm Wireless M2M CDMA Router supports the Technical Report 069 (TR-069) standard published by the Broadband
Forum for remote customer-premises equipment (CPE) administration and management.
The TR-069 standard was developed for automatic configuration of CPE devices such as as modems, routers, gateways, set-top
boxes, and VoIP-phones with Auto Configuration Server (ACS). An increasing number of network carriers and ISPs are using TR069 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.
Other TR-069 operations are described in a separate document including:
GetParameterNames : Retrieve list of supported parameter names from the device.
GetParameterValues: Retrieve one or multiple the current monitoring parameters values.
SetParameterValues: Sets the value of one or multiple parameters.
GetParameterAttributes: Retrieves the current monitoring (Active/Passive/None) set on a parameter or multiple
parameters.
SetParameterAttributes: Sets attributes of one or multiple parameters
Retrieve Device System Log from ACS Server
Reboot: reboot CPE remotely from ACS Server
Factory Reset: restore CPE to factory default settings from ACS Server
There are many options available for selecting an Auto Configuration Server including commercial and open source offerings. In this
white paper, for the purpose of demonstrating how to perform a device firmware upgrade via TR-069, the Netmania Auto
Configuration Server was chosen. The exact procedures and steps may vary depending on your chosen ACS. For privacy reasons,
the login credentials to the management URL of the ACS Server in this white paper has been replaced with
http://xxx.xxx.xxx/management/ and the CPE connection URLs were replaced with http://xxx.xxx.xxx/cpe.php. The ACS user
name, password and CPE TR-069 Connection Request user name and password used in this white paper are for test purposes
only.
Considerations with TR-069
When configuring your M2M CDMA for TR-069, you should ensure that the following considerations are addressed:
The device must have IP address access to the ACS server which may pose a problem on some private networks
The device must have a publicly routable IP address for connection requests to work

Establishing a connection between an M2M CDMA Router and an
Auto Configuration Server
Before establishing the connection between the M2M CDMA Router and the ACS server, please check the following:
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.
You have the ACS management URL, administrator user name and password for remote management
The M2M CDMA Router TR-069 device product class name and serial number (SN) is registered in the ACS
You have the M2M CDMA Router ACS CPE connection URL, ACS user name and password
You have the M2M CDMA Router CPE TR-069 Connection Request user name and password
You have read the device manual and know how to connect and make device configuration via its web management
interface
