Works Systems TR-069 CPE Agent

Works Systems TR-069 CPE Agent

• TR-069 is a CPE WAN Management specific protocol. It allows Service Providers to automate most of the tasks involved in remote CPE provisioning, configuration and maintenance

• The TR-069 protocol enables the communication between Auto Configuration Systems (also known as the ACS) and CPE devices.

• In order to use TR-069 it must be supported by the CPE devices, Works Systems, Inc. provides a turnkey TR-Series Agent for embedding into Customer Premises Equipment, reducing time to market for vendors met with market requirement for TR-069 management.

Works Systems TR-069 CPE Agent

• With the embedded agent, hardware vendors can choose to implement a full TR-069 feature set, or simply a subset based on available CPU, memory and other system limitations

• Features include all the TR-069 object models and even proprietary models can be implemented, this allows the Service Provider to manage for example:

– WAN network configuration (e.g. VCI/VPI, PPPoE, PPPoA settings)– LAN network configuration (e.g. IP and DHCP settings)– WLAN configuration (e.g. Keys and encryption scheme)– Remote image upgrade– Configuration file download

TR-069 CPE Agent – technical details

• The agent is based on Linux with kernel 2.4.x. & 2.6.x

• Needs very limited resource:– Small footprint– 200KB Flash/ 400K ~1.4 M DRAM hardware (based on Full TR-069

implementation)

• Has a complete TR-069 standard support, All required RPC methods are supported

• Support SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 connections (requires OpenSSL)

• No MIPS restrictions

• Can be ported to other platform (VxWorks, WinCE, etc.)

TR-069 CPE Agent – library requirements

• The agent comes with everything required build in (HTTP, SOAP, XML parser and generation) and only needs the following libraries to be available on the CPE:

– libpthread-0.10.so– libdl-2.3.2.so– libc.so– libresolv.so

• To support SSL these additional libraries are required:

– libssl.so.0.9.7a (required for SSL support)– libcrypto.so.4

• Works Systems can provide the agent as source code depending on the CPE vendors needs

TR-069 CPE Agent– TR-069 support

• The Works Systems agent is available with a complete implementation of the TR-069 framework, it includes all the major components in the TR-069 communication flow:

– CPE Initialization– ACS Discovery– Initialization of CPE Connection– Interaction with the CPE backend to get/set data– CPE ACS Transaction (CPE initiated)– Receive and Process notification from ACS– ACS initiated asynchronous notification– Authentication using SSL/TLS– ACS Session Management– ACS URL Change– ACS Connection Initiation– File Transfer

TR-069 CPE Agent– TR-069 support

• For the CPE vendors that wish to customize their TR-069 Agent, the Works Systems agent provides open source code that allows vendors to add specific parameters and other functions

• Works Systems can provide test tools (OneMS IOP) to test the devices with custom parameters etc.

• Within the TR-069 framework, Works Systems also supports default Data Models ( TR protocols ) such as:

– TR-064: LAN-Side DSL CPE Configuration Specification– TR-098: Provides remote configuration of QoS parameters for CPEs– TR-104: Provisioning Parameters for VoIP CPE– TR-106 / TR-111: Allows remote management of LAN devices, even behind NAT

WKS TR-069 Agent version 4 summary

• A summary of the improvements are shown in the table on right

• The version 4 maintains the full feature set from previous versions, including

SOAP/XML/HTTP client embeddedSTUN support (TR-111)TR-069 or TR-106 Object ModelsExample implementations of TR-135, TR-140 and more

• Minimal external dependencies– Optional support for SSL/HTTPS

Device Interoperability program

CPE Inter-operability Test Program

• Any TR-069 compliant device can be tested & certificated to work with Works Systems OneMS. Both our ACS and agent has been tested with most leading global vendors.

• We test using both proprietary technologies and PD128

• Works Systems offers a certification program, where we offer full services on interoperability testing, remote access to testing tools, testing of new firmware's and devices even before they are launched

• CPE vendors can also choose to purchase a OneMS IOP server and do the testing in-house

Works Systems OneMS IOP Center

• A special testing tool for TR-069 CPE devices, fully developed by Works Systems its a special “ACS” version only for testing TR-069 devices

• Automated PD128 testing (as defined by the DSL Forum) as well as testing of single / custom parameters

• Outputs a PDF report with a full description on what was tested and the test result

• Hardware Appliance based, ready to run. Just change the IP address and open the web interface

• Can test any TR069 device regardless of vendor and agent supplier
