TR-069
TR-069 is an abbreviation of “Technical Reference 069”, a protocol designed to facilitate the remote
management of Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), such as the WiMAX Device. It can be
managed over a WAN by means of an Auto Configuration Server (ACS). TR-069 is based on sending
Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) between the ACS and the client device. RPCs are sent in Extensible
Markup Language (XML) format over HTTP or HTTPS.

An administrator can use an ACS to remotely set up the WiMAX Device, modify its settings, perform
firmware upgrades, and monitor and diagnose it. In order to do so, you must enable the TR-069
feature on your WiMAX Device and then configure it appropriately. (The ACS server which it will use
must also be configured by its administrator.)

TR-069 Example
In this example, the WiMAX Device receives data from at least 3 sources: A SIP server for handling
voice calls, an HTTP server for handling web services, and an ACS, for configuring the WiMAX
Device remotely. All three servers are owned and operated by the client’s Internet Service Provider.
However, without the configuration settings from the ACS, the WiMAX Device cannot access the
other two servers. Once the WiMAX Device receives its configuration settings and implements
them, it can connect to the other servers. If the settings change, it will once again be unable to
connect until it receives its updates from the ACS.

The WiMAX Device can be configured to periodically check for updates from the auto-configuration
server so that the end user need not be worried about it.
