Introduction
The Vodafone MachineLink 3G 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 VoIPphones with Auto Configuration Server (ACS). An increasing number of network carriers and ISPs are using TR-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 a Vodafone MachineLink 3G Router with an ACS server
and how to perform a firmware upgrade remotely via TR-069 on Vodafone MachineLink 3G 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
In this white paper, for the purpose of demonstrating how to perform a device firmware upgrade via TR-069, a particular ACS was chosen for taking
screenshots. The exact procedures and steps may vary depending on the type of ACS used by the user. 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 MachineLink 3G 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 a MachineLink 3G Router and Auto
Configuration Server
Before establishing the connection between the Vodafone MachineLink 3G Router and the ACS server, please check the following:
Ensure the relevant version of firmware is loaded in the MachineLink 3G Router that supports TR-069
Ensure the MachineLink 3G Router is loaded with a test SIM that supports an accessible WAN IP address. In this white paper, the SIM
used in the MachineLink 3G Router has a public IP address.
You have the ACS management URL, administrator user name and password for remote management
The MachineLink 3G Router TR-069 device product class name and serial number (SN) is registered in the ACS
You have the MachineLink 3G Router ACS CPE connection URL, ACS user name and password
You have the MachineLink 3G 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
