Cisco Cisco Broadband Access Center Telco Wireless 3.5 Release Notes

CSCte90206

In firmware file, if a match string specified for 
operator value contains a comma(,), Cisco BAC 
automatically splits the value into comma-separated 
list.

Workaround: Instead of using comma for values, 
provide individual value for parameter and specify 
matchAll/noMatch attribute for operator field.

AC

Access Controller, also known as FGW

ACE

Application Control Engine — A Cisco load-balancing and SSL acceleration device, which is available as 
a blade for Cisco routers as well as stand-alone appliance.

BAC

Broadband Access Center — A mass-scale CPE provisioning and management product, which also 
implements TR-069 (auto configuration server - ACS - functions).

CLI

Command Line Interface such as the one exposed by the Cisco BAC DPE.

CPE

Customer Premises Equipment — A device such as an FAP, which is deployed at customer's premises.

DPE

Device Provisioning Engine — Distributed server in Cisco BAC architecture, which interfaces with CPE.

FAP

cellular calls via customer's internet connection through the FGW.

FCAPS

Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security.

FGW

Femtocell Gateway, also known as AC. Each Femtocell Gateway (FGW) supports a large set of Femtocell 
Access Points (FAP). Each FAP is configured to associate with a specific FGW, and each FGW must be 
specifically provisioned to authorize and service each FAP.

FPG

Femto Provisioning Gateway — An application developed by SA, which provides Femto provisioning 
workflow glue between AT&T systems and Cisco BAC NB API.

GPS

Global Positioning Satellite — It is used to verify the location of the FAP.

IMSI

International Mobile Subscriber Identifier. This is the SIM card ID.

Network  Listen A radio network test performed by the FAP. A measure of received code power from the neighborhood cells, 

used to pick the code with the least interference as well as to assist in the location verification.

Polygon

A Polygon is a geo-political county which is significant for provisioning differentiation. A device is 
determined to be in a given Polygon based on its location.

RDU

Regional Distribution Unit. Central server in Cisco BAC architecture, which exposes NB API.

SA

Scientific Atlanta is a division of Cisco. SA is the systems integrator for AT&T Femtocell solution.
