TR-069: CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP)


TR-069 specifies the CWMP protocol, which is used for remote management of CPE devices. The Thomson
Gateway supports CWMP. This allows the Thomson Gateway to be configured and monitored from a
management application running on a remote Auto-Configuration Server (ACS).
For more information on CWMP, see:
 Technical Report “TR-069 - CPE WAN Management Protocol”, DSL Forum, May 2004.
 Technical Report “TR-069 Amendment 1 - CPE WAN Management Protocol”, DSL Forum, November
2006.

TR-098: Internet Gateway Device (IGD) Data Model


TR-098 specifies the InternetGatewayDevice data model for TR-069 enabled devices. The Thomson Gateway
supports the IGD data model. This data model is a set of parameters, modelled in a tree structure, that can be
managed using CWMP.
For more information on the IGD data model, see:
 Technical Report “TR-098 - Internet Gateway Device Version 1.1 Data Model for TR-069”, DSL Forum,
September 2005.
 Technical Report “TR-098 Amendment 1 - Internet Gateway Device data model for TR-069”, DSL Forum,
November 2006.

Related documents
Several DSL-Forum documents are related to TR-069 and TR-098, specifying data models for devices other
than an IGD (for example STB, PCs, NAS), or specifying extensions of the IGD data model.
Following specifications are relevant to this configuration guide:
 TR-064 “LAN-side DSL CPE configuration”, May 2004: this document provides a standard interface for
PC-based (LAN-side) install applications. It defines LAN-side CPE configuration.
 TR-104 “Provisioning parameters for VoIP CPE”, September 2005: this document defines a generic
VoiceService data model for provisioning of VoIP CPEs, for example an Integrated Access Device (IAD) or
an Analogue Telephone Adapter (ATA). The model supports SIP, MGCP and H323 signalling protocols.
 TR-106 Amendment 1 “Data model template for TR-069 enabled devices”, November 2006: this
document defines a Device data model for any TR-069 enabled LAN device that is not an IGD. This model
supports the DeviceSummary parameter.
 TR-111 “Applying TR-069 to remote management of home networking devices”, December 2005: this
document defines two mechanisms that extend TR-069 with remote management of LAN devices behind
an Internet Gateway.
 LAN Device-gateway association: this mechanism allows an ACS managing a LAN device to identify
the associated gateway through which that device is connected. The gateway and LAN device
exchange their device identity (OUI-product class-serial number) via DHCP option 125.
 Connection Request via NAT gateway: this mechanism allows an ACS to initiate a TR-069 session
with a LAN device that is operating behind a NAT gateway. STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through
NAT) is used between the LAN device and the ACS.
In addition, extensions to the Device and InternetGatewayDevice data models are defined.

 PD-128 version 6 “Interoperability test plan for TR-069 plugfests”, June 2006: this document defines
TR-069 tests and their expected outcome. These tests are used during the TR-069 plugfests as tests to
perform. The DSL Forum regularly organizes TR-069 plugfest test events where all participating CPE
devices can test against all participating ACS servers. The document is also the de facto reference for
TR-069 testing by customers and ACS vendors.

Thomson firmware is interoperability tested with and by ACS partners.

1.2 CWMP Transaction Sessions

What is a transaction session?


TR-069 defines a transaction session as a sequence of Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs), both requests and
responses. A transaction session is completed when both parties (CPE and ACS) have no messages left to
send.
The CPE has an important role:
 All transaction sessions are established by the CPE.
 The CPE maintains a TCP connection (persistent HTTP connection) for the duration of the session.
 The CPE is also responsible for closing a transaction session.

Session establishment
All transaction sessions are established by the CPE, by sending an Inform RPC to the ACS.
We distinguish two types of transaction sessions:
 CPE initiated sessions
 Asynchronous ACS initiated sessions: the CPE establishes a transaction session to the ACS after receipt
of a Connection Request from the ACS.

6 E-DOC-CTC-20071119-0003 v1.0
1| Introduction

Inform events
The Inform RPC contains the Inform event argument, to indicate the cause(s) of the transaction session
establishment.
Following table gives an overview of the different Inform events and their use:

Event Description
0 BOOTSTRAP The first time that the CPE contacts the ACS.

1 BOOT After a power up or reset of the CPE.

2 PERIODIC The session is established on a periodic Inform interval.

3 SCHEDULED Scheduled by a ScheduleInform RPC.

4 VALUE CHANGE The value of a parameter of the Inform ParameterList argument


changed. This can be a parameter that is marked by the ACS for
notification (either active or passive) or a change of one of following
parameters:
 InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.SoftwareVersion
 InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.ProvisioningCode
 InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.ConnectionRequestURL
 InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.{i}.WANConnectionDevice.{j}.
WAN{*}Connection.{k}.ExternalIPAddress

6 CONNECTION REQUEST The session is established due to an asynchronous connection request


from the ACS.

7 TRANSFER COMPLETE Indicates the completion of a Download (or Upload). The


TransferComplete RPC is called during this transaction session.

8 DIAGNOSTICS COMPLETE Completion of one or more diagnostics tests (e.g. IPPingDiagnostics)

M <method name> The Inform RPC is triggered by another RPC method (M = Master):
 Reboot
 Download
 ScheduleInform
 Upload (optional)

Initial handshake
The initial handshake between the CPE and the ACS takes place when the CPE contacts the ACS for the very
first time or due to a change of the ACS URL.
Following actions are taken during the initial handshake:
 The CPE sends an initial Inform RPC with the “0 BOOTSTRAP” event.
 The CPE authenticates itself to the ACS.
 The ACS requests the list of methods that are supported by the CPE using the GetRPCMethods RPC.
 The ACS activates the required services on the CPE, according to the “activation policies”. For example,
the ACS configures the voice service and wireless service.

Forced reboot
The Reboot RPC causes the CPE to reboot. This forced reboot might be desired to restart the Thomson
Gateway clearing all state.

E-DOC-CTC-20071119-0003 v1.0

1| Introduction

When the CPE receives a Reboot RPC from the ACS, following steps are executed:
1 The ongoing transaction session is finalized. This means that all outstanding requests are sent and all
responses are received. After finalization, the ongoing transaction session is closed.
2 The CommandKey argument of the Reboot message must be remembered across the reboot via either:
 Writing it to the memory prozone. This is a memory protected zone that is not reinitialized after a
“warm” reboot.
 Writing it to the configuration file (user.ini).
3 A “warm” reboot is triggered.
4 After reboot, an Inform message is sent. The Event argument contains:
 EventCode: “1 BOOT”, “M Reboot” and possibly other EventCodes.
 CommandKey: the value of the CommandKey argument of the Reboot message is sent as
CommandKey for the EventCode “M Reboot”.

Session re-establishment
In some cases, the TCP connection is closed before the transaction session is completed. For example, the
session is interrupted by the ACS. If necessary, the CPE re-establishes the TCP connection to the ACS.
In this case, the Inform RPC contains:
 Inform event: if the session is re-established because of a pending TransferComplete RPC to be sent to
the ACS, the Inform event is “7 TRANSFER COMPLETE”. In other cases, the Inform message contains the
undelivered Inform events from the interrupted session.
 Cookie: the Inform message includes the transaction Cookie (if received from the ACS during the
transaction session) as HTTP header field.

Factory reset
The FactoryReset RPC resets the CPE to its factory default state. When a problem occurs and the cause is not
found, a reset to (pre-provisioned) ISP defaults via the FactoryReset RPC triggers the zero-provisioning use
case. Although some user configuration might be lost, a reset to factory defaults guarantees auto-
configuration and service activation as described in the “Zero-provisioning” use case.
When the CPE receives a FactoryReset RPC from the ACS, following steps are executed:
1 The ongoing transaction session is finalized. This means that all outstanding requests are sent and all
responses are received. After finalization, the ongoing transaction session is closed.
2 A reset to factory defaults is triggered.
1 The user configuration file (user.ini) is deleted.
2 A configuration load is performed: in absence of the user configuration file, the service provider
defaults (ISP.def) are loaded. In absence of these service provider defaults, factory defaults are
loaded.

Download
The Download RPC may be used by an ACS to cause the CPE to download a specified file from the designated
location.
When the CPE receives a Download RPC from the ACS, following steps are executed:
1 A DownloadResponse RPC is sent with Status argument set to 1 (the download is not yet completed).
2 The ongoing transaction session is closed.
3 Whether or not steps are executed before the file transfer, depends on the FileType argument of the
Download RPC. For more information, see “3.1 Firmware Upgrade” on page 32 and “3.2 Configuration
Update” on page 41.

8 E-DOC-CTC-20071119-0003 v1.0
1| Introduction

4 File transfer is initiated: a HTTP GET message is sent by the CPE to the file server.
5 File transfer is completed (or an error occurred).
6 A new transaction session to send the TransferComplete RPC is established after loading the downloaded
configuration file or firmware image. The exact steps depend on the FileType argument of the Download
RPC. For more information, see “3.1 Firmware Upgrade” on page 32 and “3.2 Configuration Update” on
page 41.
The Download RPC can also be triggered from the CLI. To this end, use the CLI command
:software download and provide the requested Download RPC parameters (filetype, url,
username, password, filesize, targetfilename).

1| Introduction

Objects and parameters


The data model is a set of parameters, modelled in a tree structure. In this tree structure, an object is a
container for other objects and/or parameters.

Vendor specific objects and parameters


The name of a vendor specific parameter or object, not contained within another vendor specific object, has
the form X_<VENDOR>_VendorSpecificName. Names of parameters and objects within another vendor
specific object must not be prefixed.
<VENDOR> is a unique vendor identifier, which can be either an OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) or a
domain name. This OUI or domain name must be assigned to the organization that defined the parameter,
which is not necessarily the same as the vendor of the CPE or ACS.
For vendor specific parameters of the Thomson Gateway, i.e. Thomson Gateway proprietary parameters,
<VENDOR> has value 000E50.

Path names
To identify a parameter or object in the data model, path names are used. Both complete and partial path
names are supported:
 Complete path name: a complete path name is the name of a parameter.
For example “InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.SoftwareVersion”.
 Partial path name: a partial path name ends with a “.” (dot) and is the name of an object. If multiple
instances of an object can exist, the object name is followed by the place holder “{i}.”. To identify a single
object instance, this place holder must be replaced by an instance number.
For example “InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.” or “InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.{i}.”.
To identify the full data model tree, use the partial path name “InternetGatewayDevice.”.
Following illustration shows some examples:

2 Configuring CWMP on the Thomson Gateway

Introduction
This chapter describes in detail the configuration of CWMP on the Thomson Gateway using CLI commands.
This includes the configuration of the TLS/SSL client and certificates, the CWMP service manager and
daemon, and the state checks to detect service activity.

CWMP is not configurable via the GUI (Graphical User Interface).

Overview
This chapter is structured as follows:

2.1 Configuring TLS

Introduction
The use of TLS/SSL is optional.
Whether or not to use TLS/SSL is derived form the ACS URL scheme or file URL scheme:
 If the URL scheme starts with https://, TLS/SSL is used.
 If the URL scheme starts with http://, TLS/SSL is not used.
To display the transport protocol and port used by the HTTP and HTTPS services, execute following
commands:

=>:service system list name=HTTP


Idx Name Protocol SrcPort DstPort Group State
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 HTTP tcp 80 enabled
=>:service system list name=HTTPs
Idx Name Protocol SrcPort DstPort Group State
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 HTTPs tcp 443 enabled

2.1.1 TLS Client

Displaying the TLS client configuration


To display the configuration of the TLS client, execute following command:

=>:tls acs-client config


SSL/TLS client for ACS state : enabled
Request server authentication : enabled
Check certificate validity date : disabled
Check certificate domain : disabled

Configuring the TLS client


To configure the TLS client, execute the command :tls acs-client config and specify one or more of
following parameters:
 State: this parameter indicates the state of the TLS client. By default, the TLS client is enabled.
 Auth-serv: if this parameter is enabled, the TLS client (Thomson Gateway) requests authentication of the
TLS server (ACS). By default, this parameter is enabled.
 Valid-date: if this parameter is enabled, the TLS client checks the validity of the date of a received
certificate.
 Valid-domain: if this parameter is enabled, the TLS client checks the domain of a received certificate.
For example, configure the TLS client as follows:

=>:tls acs-client config state=enabled auth-serv=enabled valid-date=enabled


valid-domain=enabled

E-DOC-CTC-20071119-0003 v1.0

2| Configuring CWMP on the Thomson Gateway

2.1.2 TLS Certificates

TLS certificate validation


The Thomson Gateway supports two types of TLS/SSL authentication via certificate validation:
 Client authentication: if the Thomson Gateway (TLS client) is requested by the ACS (TLS server) to send
its certificate, the Thomson Gateway must reply with its own certificate. Client authentication may be
useful if the ACS needs to send sensitive data to the Thomson Gateway.
 Server authentication: the Thomson Gateway (TLS client) is responsible for checking the ACS (TLS
server) identity. Requesting the ACS to authenticate makes sure the Thomson Gateway connects to a
trusted ACS. This avoids malicious people to connect to the Thomson Gateway and reconfigure the
whole device.
Server authentication requires ACS certificate validation: the Thomson Gateway receives a server
certificate and validates this with a pre-provisioned CA (Certificate Authority) certificate.
TLS authentication via certificate validation is not supported for TLS/SSL between the Thomson Gateway and
the file server.

Listing Thomson Gateway certificate information


Only one certificate is used for client authentication.
This certificate can only be altered through file upload (using FTP or TR-069). If no certificate is found when
the Thomson Gateway is booting, it generates its own certificate and private/public key pair. The Thomson
Gateway signs the certificate using its own private key.
To display the certificate of the Thomson Gateway, execute following command:

=>:tls self cert list expand=enabled

Listing ACS certificate information


The Thomson Gateway uses pre-provisioned certificates for server authentication.
To list the pre-provisioned certificates on the Thomson Gateway, execute the command :tls acs-
client cert list.
Optionally, two parameters can be specified:
 Index: if this parameter is used, the displayed list is restricted to the certificate with the corresponding
certificate index.
 Expand: if this parameter is enabled, more information is displayed. A base64 dump of each displayed
certificate is shown.

Pre-provisioning ACS certificates


The Thomson Gateway can receive the pre-provisioned certificates for server authentication as follows:
 File upload: through file upload (using FTP or TR-069).
Proceed as follows when using FTP:
1 Set up an FTP session from your PC to the Thomson Gateway.
2 Go to the /dl directory with the command cd /dl.
3 Put the certificate on the Thomson Gateway. The command put <filename> transfers the file
with name <filename> from the PC directory C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\ to the
Thomson Gateway directory /dl.
4 Close the FTP session with the command bye.
 Customization: usually, the Thomson Gateway is pre-provisioned with the correct ACS certificates using
a customized build. The process of embedding the correct certificates in a software build is executed by
Thomson during customization, prior to delivery.
Currently, these certificates are not customizable using the customization wizard, but must be added
manually to the software build by Thomson.

Configuring the list of trusted ACS certificates


To add a certificate to the list of trusted certificates, execute following command:

=>:tls acs-client cert add filename=<filename>

To delete a certificate from the list of trusted certificates:

=>:tls acs-client cert delete index=<filename>

2.2 Configuring CWMP

Introduction
The implementation of CWMP on the Thomson Gateway is split up in two parts:
 CWMP service manager: use the service manager to:
 Enable or disable the CWMP client.
 Assign a specific QoS label and route label to traffic originated by the CWMP client.
 Enable or disable the CWMP connection request server.
 Configure the port used by the CWMP connection request server to receive connection requests.
 Enable or disable logging of the CWMP connection request server.
 Configure the NAT portmap weight of the CWMP connection request server.
 CWMP daemon: use the daemon to configure all other aspects of the CWMP protocol, including:
 Operational mode.
 Use of Periodic Inform RPCs.
 Use of Connection Requests.
 Session termination.
 Authentication user names and passwords.

2.2.1 CWMP Service Manager

Introduction
CWMP services consist of two services:
 CWMP-C: the CWMP client service. The CWMP client is responsible for establishing connections to the
ACS and for sending Inform RPCs. The CWMP client has a state machine to track RPCs and report their
result (for example via a TransferComplete RPC).
 CWMP-S: the CWMP connection request server service. The CWMP connection request server listens on
a TCP port for connection requests, performs HTTP authentication and triggers the CWMP client to
establish a connection to the ACS.

CWMP client
To display the attribute values of the CWMP client service, execute following command:

=>:service system list name=CWMP-C expand=enabled

You can configure the value of following attributes:


 State: by default, the CWMP client service is disabled.
To enable the service, execute following command:

=>:service system modify name=CWMP-C state=enabled

 Qoslabel: the Thomson Gateway supports application-based QoS label assignment. If the value of this
attribute differs from none, all CWMP client originated data automatically has a QoS label assigned. This
QoS label determines the internal QoS class of the data.
To assign a specific QoS label to all data, for example the label “Interactive”, execute following
command:

=>:service system modify name=CWMP-C qoslabel=Interactive

 Routelabel: the Thomson Gateway supports application-based Route label assignment. If the value of
this attribute differs from none, all CWMP client originated data automatically has a route label assigned.
This route label can be used for IP forwarding. This enables forwarding all CWMP traffic over a particular
IP interface.
To assign a specific route label to all data, for example the label “Interactive”, execute following
command:

=>:service system modify name=CWMP-C routelabel=Interactive

2.2.2 CWMP Daemon as seen from the ACS

Displaying configuration information


To obtain an overview of the CWMP daemon configuration as seen from the ACS, execute following
command:

=>:cwmp config
State : disabled
Mode : full
Max Envelopes : 2
Session Timeout : 60
No Ip Timeout : 180
Connection Request Port : 51005
Periodic Inform : enabled
Periodic Inform Interval : 43200 s

Connection Request Path :
Connection Request Authentication : digest
Qos class : 12
Boot delay range between 0 and : 0 s
Amendment 1 Session Termination : disabled
Upgrade delay : disabled
Persistent Subscriptions : disabled

Parameter description
To modify the configuration of the CWMP daemon as seen from the ACS, execute the command
:cwmp config and specify one or several of following optional parameters:
 State: if this parameter is enabled, remote management of the Thomson Gateway by an ACS is allowed.
By default, remote management by CWMP is disabled.

This parameter has the same value as the attribute state of the CWMP client service. For
more information, see “2.2.1 CWMP Service Manager” on page 19.

 Mode: one of two operational modes can be selected:


 Read-only: if the operational mode is set to read-only, only read RPC methods are allowed.
A read-only mode is provided for customers that do not want to actively manage the CPE and do not
want to take any security risk. The read-only mode still allows building an inventory of the install-
base CPE.
 Full: to enable both read and write RPC methods, the operational mode must be set to full. This is the
default mode.

As more operators are performing TR-069 tests and become ready to deploy it, there is less use
and request for a read-only mode.

 PeriodicInform: if this parameter is enabled, the CWMP client establishes a connection to the ACS
periodically. This means that the CWMP client sends an Inform RPC with a configurable frequency. The
frequency is defined by the parameter periodicInfInt.
By default, this parameter is enabled.
 PeriodicInfInt: if the parameter periodicInform is enabled, the value of this parameter specifies the
time in seconds (s) between two connection establishments.
By default, the parameter is set to 43200 s. This means that the CWMP client establishes a connection to
the ACS once every 12 hours.

E-DOC-CTC-20071119-0003 v1.0
21
2| Configuring CWMP on the Thomson Gateway

 SessionTimeout: this parameter is a number that specifies the HTTP session time-out in seconds (s).
When the CWMP client has received no HTTP messages from the ACS for this time period, the HTTP
session is closed.
By default, this time period is set to 60 s.
 NoIpTimeout: this parameter is a number, specifying a time period in seconds (s). After the upload of a
new configuration file, it is possible that the modem can not reach the ACS any more. This means that
the IP connection is down. If this connection is not restored during the configured time period, a roll-back
mechanism is started and the initial configuration file is restored.
By default, the time period is set to 180 s (three minutes).

For more information on the roll-back mechanism, see “3.2.1 Configuration Update
Mechanism” on page 42.

 MaxEnvelopes: this parameter specifies the maximum number of SOAP envelopes that the CPE accepts
in a single HTTP response. The value of this parameter can be 1 or 2.
By default, the number of SOAP envelopes sent within one HTTP response is limited to 2.
 ConnectionRequest: if this parameter is enabled, the CWMP client establishes a connection to the ACS
when it successfully receives a Connection Request notification. These Connection Request notifications
also use HTTP. However, in this case, the ACS acts as the HTTP client and the Thomson Gateway acts as
the HTTP server.
By default, this parameter is disabled.

This parameter has the same value as the attribute state of the CWMP connection request
server service. For more information, see “2.2.1 CWMP Service Manager” on page 19.

 ConnectionReqPath: this parameter specifies the path the ACS can use to reach the CWMP daemon on
the Thomson Gateway, for example for connection requests. It is used as last part of the
InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.ConnectionRequestURL which is included in the
ParameterList of an Inform RPC.
The value of this parameter is only relevant if the parameter ConnectionRequest is enabled.
 ConnectionReqUserName: this parameter specifies a text string that must be used by the ACS as
username to log in. The value of this parameter is only relevant if the parameter ConnectionRequest
is enabled.
The default username is <OUI> - <serial number>. This can be achieved using CLI environment variable
concatenation. To retrieve this information, execute following commands:

=>:env get var=_OUI


000E50
=>:env get var=_PROD_SERIAL_NBR
CP0452JT03Y

 ConnectionReqPsswd: this parameter specifies a text string that must be used by the ACS as password to
log in. The value of this parameter is only relevant if the parameter ConnectionRequest is enabled.
 ConnectionReqAuth: both HTTP basic and digest authentication can be used for connection requests.
The value of this parameter is only relevant if the parameter ConnectionRequest is enabled. This
parameter is used to select the authentication method to be supported.
 None: the ACS asynchronous connection requests are not authenticated.
 Basic: HTTP basic authentication is used.
 Digest: HTTP digest authentication is used.
By default, HTTP digest authentication is selected.

22 E-DOC-CTC-20071119-0003 v1.0
2| Configuring CWMP on the Thomson Gateway

 Qos-class: this parameter specifies the internal QoS class of Thomson Gateway originated CWMP data.
The Thomson Gateway uses 16 internal QoS classes, numbered from 0 (low priority) through 15 (high
priority). With QoS enabled, this makes sure that upstream CWMP data is mapped into the desired QoS
queue, allowing prioritization or guaranteeing a minimum bandwidth.
By default, the assigned internal QoS class is 12.
This parameter is still available for backwards compatibility. However, it is recommended to
use the attribute qoslabel of the CWMP client service. For more information, see
“2.2.1 CWMP Service Manager” on page 19.
 Bootdelayrange: the CWMP client establishes a connection to the ACS on power up. In order to avoid that
several gateways contact the ACS simultaneously after a power failure, a boot delay range can be
specified. This way, excessive network load and ACS load after a power failure is avoided.
If the value of this parameter is larger than 0 seconds (s), a random value is calculated within this range
when the gateway starts up. This value is then used as wait period before connecting to the ACS. The
Inform RPC (with BOOT event) is only sent after this random number of seconds.
This parameter has a value within the range from 0 s through 1024 s. By default, the value of the
parameter is set to 0 s. This means that no wait period is used.
 Upgradedelay: the CPE firmware upgrade process can contain several service interrupting steps, for
example if a reboot is required. If this parameter is enabled, the upgrade process is extended with state
checks. If these checks result in a “service ongoing” boolean parameter, service activity is detected and
the service interrupting steps can be delayed.

For more information on activity checks, see “2.3 Configuring State Checks” on page 28.

 Am1Termination: session termination is configurable via CLI to be according to the original TR-069
specification or according to the TR-069 Amendment 1 specification.
 If this parameter is disabled, session termination according to TR-069 is used. This means that the
CPE terminates a transaction session when all of the following conditions are met:
 The ACS has no further requests to send to the CPE. The CPE can conclude this from one of the
following: the most recent ACS HTTP response contains no SOAP envelopes or the most recent
SOAP envelope received from the ACS contains a NoMoreRequests header element equal to 1.
 The CPE has no further requests to send to the ACS.
 The CPE has received all outstanding response messages from the ACS.
 The CPE has sent all outstanding response messages to the ACS.
 If this parameter is enabled, session termination according to TR-069 Amendment 1 is used. This
session termination differs from the original TR-069 specification in two aspects:
 NoMoreRequests header element is deprecated. This header element will not be used any more.
 The ACS concludes that the CPE has no further requests to send if the CPE has sent an empty
HTTP POST during the session (while HoldRequests is false). While according to the original
TR-069, the ACS concludes that the CPE has no further requests to send if the most recent HTTP
POST sent by the CPE is empty (while HoldRequests is false).
By default, the parameter is disabled.
 PersistentSubscription: this parameter indicates whether or not persistent subscriptions are supported. If
the ACS has a persistent subscription for a specific parameter, the instance number of the corresponding
MBUS object is not changed after a reboot, for example when objects with a lower instance number are
deleted.
By default, this parameter is disabled.

2.2.4 Notification Rules

Introduction
The ParameterList argument of an Inform message contains a list of informational parameters and their
values.
The list includes:
 Required parameters: these parameters must be sent in each Inform message.
 Changed parameters: these parameters are sent in the Inform message to announce that the value of
these parameters changed since the previous Inform message was sent.

Notification rules
Each notification rule defines the notification behaviour of a specific parameter.
Notification rules can be used to:
 Add non-standard parameters to the list of required parameters.
 Specify the behaviour of the CPE when the value of a specific parameter changes.

Creating a notification rule


To create a notification rule, execute the command :cwmp notification rule and specify one or more
of following optional parameters:
 Name: this is the name of the parameter, i.e. a complete path name.
 Notification: this parameter defines the notification behaviour.
 Off (change notification off): the CPE does not need to inform the ACS of a change of the parameter.
 Passive (passive change notification): whenever the parameter value changes, the CPE must include
the new value in the ParameterList argument of the Inform message that is sent the next time a
session is established to the ACS (for example, a periodic Inform or an Inform due to a Connection
Request).
 Active (active change notification): whenever the parameter value changes, the CPE must initiate a
session to the ACS and include the new value in the ParameterList argument of the sent Inform
message.
 Forced: the parameter value must be sent in each Inform message. In addition, active change
notification is used.
 Inform: the parameter value must be sent in each Inform message.
 Keystring: this is the keystring_id of the notification rule.
For example, execute following command to sent the PPP user name to the ACS at the start of every
transaction session:

=>:cwmp notification rule


name=InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANPPPConnection.1.Username
notification=inform

2.2.5 Runtime Variables

Listing runtime variables


The values of the runtime variables cannot be changed and can only be listed.
To list the CWMP runtime variables, execute following command:

=>:cwmp runtimevar
Software Version : 7.4.2.2
Bootstrapped : no
CmdKey :
Parameterkey :

Software Version
This variable indicates which firmware image is installed on the CPE. It has the value of the
InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.SoftwareVersion parameter.
The CPE sends the value of this variable to the ACS in the ParameterList argument of Inform RPCs.

Bootstrapped
This variable indicates the BOOTSTRAP event state.
If this event state is set to yes, the first Inform RPC sent to the ACS includes the Bootstrap event. On
receiving an InformResponse, this event is considered delivered and the event state is set to no.
This variable is set to yes if the ACS URL is reconfigured.

CmdKey
CmdKey has the value of the CommandKey argument of a received Reboot, Download or ScheduleInform
RPC. The CPE stores the value persistently and sends this value back to the ACS as follows:
 Reboot: the value of CmdKey is used as CommandKey for the “M Reboot” EventCode in the first Inform
RPC sent after the reboot.
 Download: the value of CmdKey is used as CommandKey for the TransferComplete RPC or
GetQueuedTransfersResponse RPC.
 ScheduleInform: the value of CmdKey is used as CommandKey for the “M ScheduleInform” EventCode
in the Inform RPC sent at the scheduled time.

Parameterkey
Parameterkey has the same value as the InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.ParameterKey
parameter.
Following RPCs contain a ParameterKey argument:
 SetParameterValues
 AddObject
 DeleteObject
If one of these RPCs is applied successfully, the CPE updates the value of the
InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.ParameterKey parameter with the value of the ParameterKey
argument.

26 E-DOC-CTC-20071119-0003 v1.0
2| Configuring CWMP on the Thomson Gateway

At each point in time, InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.ParameterKey has the value of the


ParameterKey argument of the most recent applied RPC.
The ACS can check the ParameterKey value to identify parameter updates, object creations or object
removals.

2.3 Configuring State Checks

Introduction
If the state check module is enabled, the module periodically performs a number of parameter checks. Each
parameter check results in a “Check” boolean set to 1 or 0.
The parameter checks are grouped in different groups. First, the check results within a single group are
combined (ANDed or ORed) in a “Group” boolean for that group. Then, the group results are combined
(ANDed or ORed) in a final “Active” boolean.
If the “Active” boolean has value 1, the service interrupting steps of the upgrade process are delayed. As
soon as the “Active” boolean has value 0, the upgrade process continues.

The state check module is enabled if the upgradedelay parameter is enabled. For more
infomation, see “2.2.2 CWMP Daemon as seen from the ACS” on page 21.

Configure the state check module


To configure the state check module, execute the command :statecheck config and specify following
parameters:
 Interval: this is the interval (in seconds) between checks.
By default, the interval value is set to 30 seconds.
 Timeout: after this time (in seconds), the state check module stops performing checks and sets the Active
parameter to 0. As a result, this is also the maximum delay time of the upgrade process.
By default, the timeout value is set to 3600 seconds (1 hour).
Optionally, following parameters can be specified:
 Groupop: this parameter indicates whether the “Group” booleans are ANDed or ORed.
By default, the “Group” booleans are ORed.
 Dmtree: this parameter indicates whether the IGD data model or the atomic data model is used.
By default, the atomic data model is used.
For example, configure the state check module as follows:

=>:statecheck config interval=30 timeout=3600 groupop=or dmtree=igd

Creating a group
To create a group, execute the command :statecheck groupadd and specify following parameter:
 Name: the name of the group.
Optionally, following parameter can be specified:
 Checkop: this parameter indicates whether the “Check” booleans within this group are ANDed or ORed.
By default, the “Check” booleans are ANDed.
For example, create a new group as follows:

=>:statecheck groupadd name=DSLActivity checkop=and

2| Configuring CWMP on the Thomson Gateway

Deleting a group
To delete a group, execute the command :statecheck groupdelete and specify following parameter:
 Name: the name of the group to be deleted.
For example, delete a group as follows:

=>:statecheck groupdelete name=DSLActivity

Creating a check
To create a check, execute the command :statecheck checkadd and specify following parameters:
 Group: the check will be part of this group.
 Name: the name of the check to be created.
 Object: the object to be checked.
Use the keystringpath of the object.
To obtain this keystringpath, execute following command in MBUS:
:mbus client exec cmd getvalues flags=keystrpath.
 Paramname: the parameter to be checked.
 Paramtype: the parameter type:
 String: a string. The value of the parameter is text.
 Uint: an integer. The value of the parameter is a number.
 Bool: a boolean. The value of the parameter can be 0 or 1.
 Matchtype: the match type:
 Equal: the check sets its “Check” boolean to 1 if the parameter value equals the match value.
 Differ: the check sets its “Check” boolean to 1 if the parameter value differs from the match value.
 Statdelta: the check sets its “Check” boolean to 1 if the parameter value increments more than a
threshold, which is specified by the match value.
 Match: the match value. The parameter value is compared to the match value depending on the match
type.
For example, create a new check as follows:

=>:statecheck checkadd
group=DSLActivity
name=Downstream
object=InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.DSL.WANDSLInterfaceConfig //dmtree=igd is used
paramname=DownstreamCurrRate
paramtype=uint
matchtype=statdelta
match=50

Deleting a check
To delete a check, execute the command :statecheck checkdelete and specify following parameter:
 Name: the name of the check to be deleted.
For example, delete a check as follows:

=>:statecheck checkdelete name=Downstream

3.1.1 General Firmware Upgrade Mechanism

Why firmware upgrade?


New firmware images are capable of loading older configuration files for backwards compatibility. However,
older firmware images cannot be guaranteed to properly load new configuration files of more recent
firmware versions. The main reason is that new configuration files can contain new commands, which were
introduced for the support of new features.

Firmware images
For a remote firmware upgrade, one of the following file types can be used:
 *.os (in case of RTEMS)
 *.rbi (in case of GoLinux)

For a local firmware upgrade, *.bli files are used.

Description
This use case mainly covers the automatic remote upgrade of a firmware image. At any point in time, the
ACS can trigger the CPE to upgrade its firmware image. The ACS sends an asynchronous connection request
triggering the CPE to establish a transaction session to receive a Download method to upgrade its firmware.
 ACS: the ACS is only responsible for:
 Sending the Download RPC.
 Retrieving the TransferComplete RPC.
 CPE: the actions taken by the CPE itself depend on the firmware upgrade mechanism, which is not
defined by TR-069. This is indicated by the “CPE firmware upgrade process” in following illustration. The
different firmware upgrade mechanisms are described in different subsections.

3.1.2 Single Memory Bank Firmware Upgrade

Introduction
All Thomson Gateway residential RTEMS devices have a single memory bank (Flash).

Description
First, the CPE receives a Download RPC from the ACS. If the FileType argument is set to “1 Firmware Upgrade
Image”, a firmware upgrade is started.
A single memory bank firmware upgrade process includes following steps:
1 After downloading the first 125 bytes of the file to SDRAM (volatile memory), the new firmware image
header is checked for integrity.
2 The old firmware image in Flash (persistent memory) is deleted.
3 Using a reasonably small buffer, parts of the new firmware image are downloaded (over TCP) and written
to Flash (= flashed).
4 When completed, a reboot is initiated to load and run the new firmware.
Finally, the completion (success or failures) of the firmware upgrade is indicated to the ACS
(TransferComplete RPC).

Conclusion
The firmware upgrade process has following characteristics:
 Robustness: this firmware upgrade process is not robust.
Things can go wrong, for example due to a power failure, between the point in time when the active
firmware image is deleted and the new firmware image is completely downloaded and written to Flash.
When, for example at power up, the Thomson Gateway detects the absence of a valid firmware image,
the Thomson Gateway sets e.g. the “Flashing Failed” prozone bit and reboots in Bootloader mode. This
mode is also indicated by the LEDs.
The problem can only be solved by a local (LAN-side) firmware recovery. In Bootloader mode, BOOTP is
a “mini” bootloader, which can be used by the Thomson Gateway upgrade wizard, executed by the end-
user.
It is a service provider decision whether or not the LAN-side firmware recovery is an acceptable risk. For
a firmware upgrade mechanism that rules out any end-user involvement, a dual memory bank firmware
upgrade mechanism is recommended.
 Service interruption: step 4, when the Thomson Gateway reboots to load and run the new firmware, is
the service interrupting step. Up till that point, all services are running and active.

3.1.3 Dual Memory Bank Firmware Upgrade

Introduction
Some Thomson Gateway business RTEMS devices have a dual memory bank (Flash).

Description
First, the CPE receives a Download RPC from the ACS. If the FileType argument is set to “1 Firmware Upgrade
Image”, a firmware upgrade is started.
A dual memory bank firmware upgrade process includes following steps:
1 The “passive” firmware image in Flash is deleted.
2 The new firmware image is downloaded and written to Flash.
3 A switch-over is performed: the new firmware image is now the “active” image and the old firmware
image becomes the “passive” image.
4 A reboot is initiated to load and run the new firmware.
Finally, the completion (success or failures) of the firmware upgrade is indicated to the ACS
(TransferComplete RPC).

Conclusion
The firmware upgrade process has following characteristics:
 Robustness: this firmware upgrade process is rather robust.
Whenever something goes wrong while downloading or flashing a new firmware image, there is always
a valid firmware image present in Flash. When the Thomson Gateway detects that the downloaded file is
invalid or when there is a problem loading the file, the file system automatically remounts the partitions
to load the old firmware image.
In this case, no fault message is sent to the ACS, but the Inform RPC before the TransferComplete RPC
includes the old SoftwareVersion value in the ParameterList argument. An ACS should only consider a
firmware upgrade to be successful if the SoftwareVersion value is the expected version.
This mechanism is considerably more fail-save than the single memory bank firmware upgrade
mechanism.
 Service interruption: step 4, when the Thomson Gateway reboots to load and run the new firmware, is
the service interrupting step. Up till that point, all services are running and active.

3.1.4 Firmware Upgrade with Reduced Memory Mode

Introduction
Some Thomson Gateway GoLinux devices can reboot in “reduced memory mode”.

Description
First, the CPE receives a Download RPC from the ACS. If the FileType argument is set to “1 Firmware Upgrade
Image”, a firmware upgrade is started.
A firmware upgrade process with reduced memory mode includes following steps:
1 The Thomson Gateway reboots in “reduced memory mode” (setting a flag in prozone). The reduced
memory mode is a reboot of the CPE where less services are started. This way, SDRAM has enough free
memory to hold the new firmware image.
2 The new firmware image is downloaded and written to SDRAM.
3 The Thomson Gateway reboots (setting a flag in prozone). The Bootloader detects that the new firmware
image is still in SDRAM and writes the new firmware image to Flash. Prior to this, the Bootloader checks
whether the new firmware image is valid. This step relies on the fact that the contents in SDRAM are
preserved after a warm reboot.
4 The Bootloader loads the firmware image present in Flash.
Finally, the completion (success or failures) of the firmware upgrade is indicated to the ACS
(TransferComplete RPC).

Conclusion
The firmware upgrade process has following characteristics:
 Robustness: this upgrade mechanism is not robust. Unplugging the CPE during the flash process makes
it only recoverable with a rescue CDROM.
 Service interruption: step 1, when the Thomson Gateway reboots in “reduced memory mode”, is the
service interrupting step. Up till that point, all services are running and active.

3.2.1 Configuration Update Mechanism

Why configuration update?


A configuration update focuses on management of the home network. It is used to configure the CPE services
and (typically router) features that apply to the home network functionality.

File types
For a configuration update, one of the following file types can be used:
 Configuration file (user.ini)
 Script file (*.STS)

For more information on configuration files and script files, see “3.2.2 STS Files” on page 44.

File name length


The length of a file name of a file that must be downloaded via a Download RPC is limited to 12 characters:
 8 characters for the part before the “.”
 The dot “.”
 3 characters for the file name extension

Description
First, the CPE receives a Download RPC from the ACS. If the FileType argument is set to “3 Vendor
Configuration File”, a configuration update is started.
A configuration update includes following steps:
1 The CPE downloads the file at the File URL and locally saves it on Flash in the /dl directory.
2 The downloaded file is loaded, without saving the new configuration.
This corresponds to CLI command :config load filename=<downloaded file>.
3 The CPE establishes a new transaction session with the ACS sending an Inform with at least the Transfer
Complete event.
 If the CPE can connect to the ACS and the ACS responds with an InformResponse:
1 The CPE saves the new configuration to user.ini.
This corresponds to CLI command :saveall.
2 The downloaded file on Flash in the /dl directory is deleted.
 If the CPE cannot connect to the ACS or authentication of the CPE fails or the ACS does not respond
with an InformResponse, a roll-back mechanism is started:
1 The user.ini file is loaded to undo the configuration changes performed by the downloaded file.
This corresponds to CLI command :config load filename=user.ini.
2 The downloaded file on Flash in the /dl directory is deleted.
3 The CPE establishes a new transaction session with the ACS. In this case, the TransferComplete
method reports a fault. The TransferComplete method is used by the ACS to learn whether or not
the configuration file was applied.

Message flow
The message flow between the CPE and ACS is identical for configuration files and script files.
Following illustration shows the message flow for the “Configuration Update” use case (we assume that the
MaxEnvelopes argument of the first Inform RPC has value 2):

17) InfomResponse

18) TransferComplete (CommandKey)


NoMoreRequests = 1

19) TransferCompleteResponse

20) HTTP POST (Empty)

21) 200 OK (Empty)


22) Close connection

Configuration versions
It is the responsibility of the configuration file editors to implement configuration version management. For
example, the downloaded file includes the CLI command :env set var=CONF_VERSION
value=1.1.1.
The ACS can retrieve the “InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.VendorConfigFile.{i}.Version” parameter from
the IGD data model to learn which configuration version is applied on the CPE.

No reboot
No intentional reboot is done after downloading and loading a configuration file or script file. Although, it is
possible that a :system reboot CLI command is present in the downloaded file. However, if an intentional
reboot is required, it is recommended to use the Reboot RPC instead.

3.2.2 STS Files

Why STS files?


A new file format, an STS (SpeedTouch Script) file, is introduced for two reasons:
 An STS file can be used to make specific configuration changes and still preserve the value of other
configuration parameters. A configuration file (user.ini) contains also authentication parameters, for
example PPP username and password, WLAN SSID and WEP keys... A configuration update using such a
configuration file overrides the original value of these parameters, even if you do not want to change
them.
 A TR-069 file download of an STS file allows the configuration of parameters that are not (yet)
implemented in the supported IGD data model.
If the execution of CLI commands in an STS file results in errors, these errors are not reported
to the ACS. Hence, the use of CWMP RPCs (e.g. the SetParameterValues RPC) is preferred if the
parameters are implemented in the IGD data model.

STS file format


An STS file is a text file containing CLI commands that can be executed on the Thomson Gateway.
The main differences between a configuration file and an STS file are listed in following table:

Configuration file (user.ini) STS file


CLI commands are bundled per block. Flat list of CLI commands.

No well ordered sequence of blocks. Ordered sequence of CLI commands. The CLI
commands are executed in sequence.

Relative commands within a single block, typically Absolute commands. This means that commands
corresponding to a CLI command group. include the complete path.

Valid STS file


The CPE is able to identify a valid STS file, taking following aspects into account:
 File name extension:
The FileType argument of the Download RPC has value “3 Vendor Configuration File”. This file type is
used for both complete configuration files and STS files. An STS file is identified by its “.STS” file name
extension.
If the file name has no extension or a extension that differs from “.ini” and “.STS”, the TargetFileName
argument of the Download RPC should contain a file name with the correct extension.

Downloaded files not having the specific “.STS” file name extension are assumed to be
complete configuration files (user.ini).

 Header line:
An STS file contains a header line with following two space-separated fields:
 TPVERSION=x: this is the tag-parser version. It indicates the CLI syntax version. The tag-parser
version is checked for exact match against the tag-parser environment variable.

44 E-DOC-CTC-20071119-0003 v1.0
3| Firmware Upgrade and Configuration Update

 BOARD_NAME=y: this is the hardware platform mnemonic. The board name is checked for exact
match against the board name environment variable. The feature set and CLI commands may differ
between business and residential products.
Before starting sequential execution of all STS script CLI commands, this header line is checked. A file
without this header line is rejected as invalid STS file.

Examples
Example of a configuration file:

[ xdsl.ini ]
debug traceconfig level=0
config adslmultimode=adsl2plus detect-lop=enabled syslog=disabled

[ cac.ini ]
config port=dsl0 state=enabled
config port=dsl1 state=enabled
...

Example of an STS file (adding two web site filtering rules):

TPVERSION=2.0.0 BOARD_NAME=BANT-K

:dsd urlfilter rule add url=www.yahoo.com action=redirect redirect=www.google.net


:dsd urlfilter rule add url=www.cisco.com action=block
...
:env set var=CONF_VERSION value=1.1.1

An STS file should always be closed with a \CR (Carriage Return). Otherwise the last line in the STS
file will not be executed.

Locally testing STS files


Before starting a TR-069 configuration update with an STS file, you may test the STS file locally in order to
make sure all commands are properly formatted and run without problems.
After creating the STS file (test.sts), execute following steps:
1 Connect your PC via the LAN to the CPE.
2 Create the STS file in the PC directory C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\
3 Upload the STS file to the file system of the CPE. The file must be placed in the /dl directory.
For example, you can use an FTP session as follows:
1 Set up an FTP session from your PC to the CPE.
2 Go to the /dl directory with the command cd /dl.
3 Use the command bin.
4 Upload the STS file with the command put test.sts.
5 Close the FTP session with the command bye.
4 Set up a telnet session from your PC to the CPE and run the CLI command :config load
echo=enabled filename=test.sts.
5 The CPE executes one by one the CLI commands as specified in the STS file and prints the output of the
commands to the telnet prompt.
6 If any errors are reported, you can correct these errors.

3.2.3 Embedded STS (eSTS) Files

Why eSTS files?


An eSTS file has exactly the same file format as an STS file.
By embedding this STS file in a firmware image, the STS file is loaded once after a firmware upgrade. The
use of an explicit STS file download is avoided. This way, a firmware upgrade can be considered as a single
stage process without requiring extra download steps for completing successfully. This makes the upgrade
process more robust, as an explicit STS file download requires a longer time and is more vulnerable to
failures.

How to embed STS files?


The process of embedding an STS file in a software build is executed by Thomson during customization,
prior to delivery.
The use of eSTS files is customizable using the customization wizard and does not require a new software
build:
1 A fixed file name for the eSTS file is used: upgrade.sts.
2 The eSTS file must be embedded in the folder “archive/active/” of the software build.

Flag
An eSTS file is loaded once and only once after the firmware upgrade. To this end a flag is used:
 After loading the upgrade.sts file, a flag is written to Flash to indicate that the file was loaded.
 A factory reset does not delete the flag.
 When the same firmware image is loaded twice, the eSTS file is loaded only once (the first time).
 On a firmware upgrade to a new firmware image, the flag is deleted.

Firmware upgrade mechanism with eSTS file


When an eSTS file is embedded in the folder “archive/active/”, the firmware upgrade process is followed by
following steps:
1 The old user.ini file is loaded. This file preserved the user configuration and previous TR-69 configuration.
If no user.ini file exists, the factory defaults are loaded.
2 The upgrade.sts file is loaded if an upgrade.sts file exists and if the flag is not present in Flash.
This corresponds to CLI command :config load filename=upgrade.sts.
3 The flag is written to Flash.
4 The configuration is saved (by default), creating a new user.ini file.
This corresponds to CLI command :saveall.

4.4 Retrieval of the Device Log

Introduction
The IGD data model contains the DeviceLog parameter, which is located within the object
“InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.”. When the ACS asks for the device log of the CPE, it receives the

4.5 Event Subscription

Introduction
The ACS can subscribe to particular parameter change events. When the value of such a parameter changes,
the CPE must notify the change to the ACS.
Two types of event subscription exist:
 Passive change notification: whenever the parameter value changes, the CPE must include the new value
in the ParameterList argument of the Inform message that is sent the next time a session is established to
the ACS. For example, a periodic Inform or an Inform due to a Connection request.
 Active change notification: whenever the parameter value changes, the CPE must initiate a session to the
ACS and include the new value in the ParameterList argument of the sent Inform message.

RPCs for event subscription


Following ACS RPCs are relevant to event subscription:
 GetParameterAttributes RPC: the ACS can use this RPC to learn the event subscriptions associated with
one or more CPE parameters. The ParameterNames argument is a list of the names of the requested
parameters.
Example of the ParameterNames argument:

Entry Value
1 InternetGatewayDevice.Layer2Bridging. (i.e. all parameters within this object)

2 InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.SerialNumber (i.e. this specific parameter)

 SetParameterAttributes RPC: the ACS can use this RPC to modify the event subscriptions associated with
one or more CPE parameters. The ParameterList argument contains the list of changes to the event
subscriptions.
Example of the ParameterList argument:

Entry Field Value


Name InternetGatewayDevice.Layer2Bridging.

1 NotificationChange 1 (true)

Notification 1 (passive)

Name InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.SerialNumber

2 NotificationChange 1 (true)

6.2 WLAN

Introduction
Given the increasing deployment of wireless gateways and the known complexity of setting up a secure
wireless LAN network, remote management of wireless settings can lower the complexity for the end-user.
For example, remote management can configure or reset the SSID to a “default value” and configure the
security settings. The end-user does not need to manually configure the Thomson Gateway. Given a
broadcasted SSID and preconfigured security settings, the end-user must only configure the WEP or WPA key
on its PC. Remote management can also reset wireless settings to defaults that are provided to the end-user,
turn off security to allow the user to associate and configure again.

WLANConfiguration data model


The IGD data model on the Thomson Gateway contains the object
“InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice.1.WLANConfiguration.1.”.
This object contains the objects and parameters needed for the configuration of the wireless service:
 Enable or disable the wireless service.
 Configure the wireless settings.
 Troubleshoot the wireless service.

Vendor specific parameters


The WLANConfiguration data model on the Thomson Gateway contains following vendor specific parameter:
 X_000E50_ChannelMode: this parameter can be used to request automatic selection of the channel. The
parameter has one of the following values:
 Auto (default value)

The parameters FilterBridgeReference and FilterInterface are mandatory. This means that the
parameters must be set before the Filter object is internally created.

 Configuring default port VID: the SetParameterValues RPC (message 15 in preceding illustration)
contains following name-value pair in its ParameterList argument:

Name Value
InternetGatewayDevice.Layer2Bridging.Filter.12.ExclusivityOrder 1

 Create a marking: the AddObject RPC (message 18 in preceding illustration) contains for the ObjectName
argument the value “InternetGatewayDevice.Layer2Bridging.Marking.”.
The AddObjectResponse (message 20 in preceding illustration) contains for the InstanceNumber
argument for example value “1”.

7 Zero-Provisioning

Introduction
The zero-provisioning use case considers the auto-configuration of the CPE without any user interaction.
It is based on two assumptions:
 Pre-provisioned connectivity
 Subscriber-gateway relation identification

Pre-provisioned connectivity
It is assumed that the CPE is pre-provisioned with connectivity to an ACS.
This pre-provisioning includes following aspects:
 WAN connection model: for example:
 Separate management PVC (IPoA, EoA) with basic IP connectivity to the ACS. In this case, CPE-to-
ACS authentication is not needed.
 PPP connection with walled garden common login, e.g. a single username/password that grants
access to only the ACS.
 PPP connection with e.g. CPE serial number as username.
 ACS:
 ACS URL: the host part of the ACS URL is resolved into the ACS IP address.
 ACS authentication: user name/password only if needed. The ACS could accept first time
unauthorized access or e.g. CPE serial number as user name/password.
 TLS certificates:
 ACS-to-CPE authentication: a CA certificate (e.g. a server provider certificate) must be pre-
provisioned on the CPE.
 CPE-to-ACS authentication: each CPE certificate is signed by e.g. a service provider CA or the ACS
trusts the CPE CA.
Pre-provisioning can be achieved via Thomson Gateway ISP defaults (ISP.def). This is a set of
defaults that is preserved even when the end-user or the ACS triggers a reset-to-factory-defaults.
After this action, the zero-provisioning use case is started again.

Subscriber-CPE relation identification


Learning the subscriber-CPE relation is mainly the task of the ACS. Two cases are possible:
 The relation is pre-configured: the relation between the CPE, subscriber and subscribed-to-services is
pre-configured (e.g. in a shop when buying the CPE).
 The ACS learns the relation dynamically: based on the IP address of the CPE, the ACS learns from the
BRAS which DSL line-ID it was assigned to. Using the line-ID, the ACS can query the AAA database to
learn the subscriber credentials (PPP user name/password) and the subscribed-to-services (needed for
knowing which services to auto-provision).

Description
First, the Thomson Gateway connects to the (potentially walled garden) ACS that learns the subscriber
information and services.
Next, following actions can be taken:
 Before any configuration changes are made, the ACS can be configured to start a firmware upgrade to
the most recent firmware version. This firmware would include the same ISP defaults (ISP.def) so after
the firmware upgrade, the Thomson Gateway connects to the ACS again.

For more information on firmware upgrades, see “3.1 Firmware Upgrade” on page 32.

 The ACS uses the data model to configure the Thomson Gateway via the SetParameterValues RPC. This
typically includes customer specific parameters (PPP user name/password, ACS URL, ACS connection
request authentication, wireless settings and optionally voice settings (e.g. SIP URI and authentication).

For more information on service provisioning, see “6 Service Provisioning” on page 69.

 The ACS can use a configuration file or script file download to configure all modules not (yet) supported
by the data model.

For more information on configuration updates, see “3.2 Configuration Update” on page 41.

The case where only data model parameters are configured on top of the pre-provisioned settings (ISP.def) is
the most straightforward. The ACS sends a SetParameterValues RPC for the parameters that need to be
configured. These parameters are applied and saved persistent on the Thomson Gateway.

Message flow: minimal walled garden provisioning


This use case makes use of two types of ACS:
 The walled garden ACS associates the CPE with the subscriber and configures the CPE with the proper
(user specific) connectivity parameters. So the difference with the “zero-provisioning” use case is that the
walled garden ACS is dedicated to configuring the CPE out of the walled garden.
 The provider ACS does all of the per-subscriber-per-service provisioning. So once the provider ACS is
contacted, firmware upgrade, configuration update, service activation and remote intervention use cases
are supported.
Following illustration shows the message flow for the “Minimal walled garden provisioning” use case:
Walled garden Provider
CPE ACS ACS
Pre-provisioned ISP.def
(default ACS, default auth)
1) Inform (Event Bootstrap)
NoMoreRequests = 1

2) Relate CPE to user/subscription

3) InformResponse,
SetParameterValues PPP Username
PPP Password
4) Apply parameters ACS URL
(and env variables) ACS Username
5) SetParameterValuesResponse ACS Password

6) 200 OK (Empty)

7) Close connection

8) Inform (Event Bootstrap)


NoMoreRequests = 1
9) InformResponse
10) HTTP POST (Empty)
11) 200 OK (Empty)
