Features of the Device 2.12 data model for TR-069 and USP

6 min read

In alignment with the release of TR-069 Amendment 6 and the User Services Platform/TR-369, the Broadband Forum updated its comprehensive data model that describes CWMP endpoints or USP agents. There’s a number of new features, some of which are tied to updates to CWMP, as well as new interfaces and applications that are managed by CWMP or USP. Here’s a short overview of the changes in Device:2.12. How do data models work? Keep reading

What is IR-181 and how does it apply to TR-069 testing?

Critical to testing TR-069 implementations is the ability to demonstrate that the underlying code that configures settings on the device interacts correctly with the commands sent via CWMP. We discussed this in another training article on setting up Wi-Fi using TR-069, but there are many more valuable tests of this kind to consider. Consequently, TR-069 testing should include some manner of “real-world” testing that can be used to demonstrate the interoperability of the deployment of an ACS and TR-069 enabled CPE. Keep reading

TR-069 Connection Request Timing

In CWMP, the CPE is always the initiator of sessions. It begins each session with a call to the Inform RPC, which contains EVENT codes that specify to the ACS the reason for the session. One way the that ACS can entice a CPE to begin a session is with the Connection Request mechanism. In TR-069 Amendment 4 and earlier, this was done exclusively with HTTP, though an option for XMPP Connection Requests was added in Amendment 5. Keep reading
