Automated Router Provisioning with TR-069

Managing a broadband network relies on effective and scalable management of customer premises equipment (CPE). Being able to automatically configure routers for customers' services without taking the router out of the box is a reality with Cerberus Networks TR-069 platform, integrated directly into NetCONNECT, our broadband provisioning and management system.

TR-069 allows you to send a router into the field with a factory default configuration and take care of all standard provisioning configuration (PPP login, IP address, wireless network, etc) remotely from the NetCONNECT service management portal. This is elegantly integrated into our broadband ordering and provisioning systems to maximise efficiency and minimise opportunities for error that are key for driving down costs associated with CPE.

So what does this mean for you?

• Send out a router with a default TR-069 template (pre-installed by Cerberus) and when the customer plugs it into their broadband connection, it automatically gets the correct PPP details for their service and connects to the Internet
• Control all key settings of routers in the field centrally via the NetCONNECT control panel without ever having to log onto the router remotely
• Select an TR-069-enabled router when ordering your new broadband service with direct-drop to your end user
• Easily replace failed equipment in the field without any need to manually configure replacement equipment and keep the same settings as before automatically
• Optional direct access to our TR-069 control panel for advanced management, monitoring and reporting on your services and equipment
• Select TR-069 as an option with each service you order, and specify router settings in advance, or from your own default template
• Scheduled managed firmware update services

Cerberus can provide you with the most seamless TR-069 experience as we integrate the entire lifecycle of both broadband service and router from stock management and assignment of routers to services, through initial configuration that automatically uses the correct PPP details for a customers connection to router replacement and automatic maintenance of settings from one router to its replacement.

Configure other Cerberus services automatically

To make managing large estates with a combination of subscriber services effortless, you can seamlessly use the TR-069 service to configure your router for the following Cerberus services:

• MyCloud Voice - enable and configure the voice ports on your router to use a designated MyCloud Voice VoIP service
• MyCloud DNS Protect - configure DHCP/DNS settings to use the MyCloud DNS Protect resolvers and firewall rules to block access to other DNS servers

This means that no manual intervention is required from you to enable these services at 1 site or 100. The router that is designated for the specific connection will get the correct configuration to enable these services as soon as it is plugged into the connection.

TR-069 is available as an optional service with all Cerberus Broadband services.
