| |
VigorACS provides centralized device management
for TR-069 based CPEs such as broadband gateway,
VPN, xDSL router, VoIP gateway, and Wireless
AP.
TR-069 is a DSL Forum technical specification
entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP).
It defines an application layer protocol for
remote management of end-user devices.
VigorACS has device status, monitor status of
devices, or perform provisioning tasks such
as firmware upgrade, configuration backup/restore
and parameter profile for mass deployment of
CPE devices.
It is easy to use through intuitive Web-based
GUI with security management. VigorACS can be
installed on different kinds of platform e.g.
Windows, Linux and Sun Solaris and manage 10,000
up to 50,000 devices complied with TR-069 specification.
The deployment of VigorACS server inside TUS
Telecom ( TU? Telekom ) is integrated with its
CRM ( Customer Relationship Management ). VigorACS
server lets TUS Telecom bring proactive and
prompt services to customers, thousands of Vigor2700
series can be ensured with stable operation
under the auto-provision, auto-discovery, VoIP
efficient monitoring and management.

Main
Features and Benefit
-
Fully complied with
TR-069 Standard
Manage all kinds of devices complied with TR-069
specification such as broadband gateway, XDSL
router/modem, VoIP phone, wireless AP and Set-Top
box.
-
Unlimited Network
level to group CPEs
Administrator can group CPEs by network on VigorACS.
VigorACS allows unlimited sub-network level
to group CPEs.
-
Status/Performance
monitor and Auto Configuration
The CPE WAN Management Protocol provides support
for a CPE to make available information that
the ACS may use to monitor the status and performance
statistics CPE. The protocol defines a common
set of such parameters, and provides a standard
syntax for vendors to define additional non-standard
parameters that an ACS can monitor. It also
defines a set of conditions under which a CPE
should actively notify the ACS of changes.
It can monitor the status of the devices, IP
address, and version numbers and so on.
VigorACS will retrieve all parameters of CPEs
at the initial connection. Administrator can
refresh all parameters at any time if CPE has
new parameters. VigorACS provides intuitive
GUI to get and set all parameter values. Through
VigorACS, you can manage different parameter
specification like TR-104 for VoIP or vendor
specific parameters like Firewall, VPN and NAT
on Vigor Router dynamically. VigorACS also provide
combobox to configure selection parameters and
radiobox to configure boolean parameters.
-
Dynamic Service Provisioning
The CPE WAN Management Protocol allows an ACS
to provision a CPE or collection of CPE based
on a variety of criteria. The provisioning mechanism
includes specific provisioning parameters and
a general mechanism for adding vendor-specific
provisioning capabilities as needed.
The provisioning mechanism allows CPE provisioning
at the time of initial connection to the broadband
access network, and the ability to re-provision
at any subsequent time. This includes support
for asynchronous ACS-initiated re-provisioning
of a CPE.
The identification mechanisms included in the
protocol allow CPE provisioning based either
on the requirements of each specific CPE, or
on collective criteria such as the CPE vendor,
model, software version, or other criteria.
The protocol also provides optional tools to
manage the CPE-specific components of optional
applications or services for which an additional
level of security is required to control, such
as those involving payments.
VigorACS has many features depending on TR-069
provisioning mechanism. First of all, VigorACS
will create CPE on the system automatically
when CPE provisioning at the time of initial
connection. Administrator does not need to create
CPE by itself or have any other discovery CPE
functions. Second, VigorACS will retrieve all
parameters of CPE dynamically. Administrator
does not need to have other parameter definition
to manage parameters of the CPEs. Finally, Dynamic
Service Provisioning of VigorACS can help administrator
to set parameters of CPE to activate some services
like PPPoE and VoIP. The end user can really
plug-in-play the service.
-
Topology Management
Topology management of VigorACS integrates with
Google Map. Your VigorACS Server must have internet
access capability to make sure VigorACS can
get Map data. Each CPE will display on Map by
the actual customer address of CPE. Administrator
has to input the address information of CPE
when starting to manage the CPE. Otherwise,
the CPE will display on network address on the
Map. VigorACS has GUI to help administrator
to create customer address of CPE.
-
Indicate VPN connection
on topology
For Vigor VPN router, VigorACS can display all
VPN connections on topology's way. Administrator
can monitor, create, and delete VPN connection
more easily.
-
Advanced Firmware
Management
The CPE WAN Management Protocol also defines
a digitally signed file format that may optionally
be used to download either individual files
or a package of files along with explicit installation
instructions for the CPE to perform. This signed
package format ensures the integrity of downloaded
files and the associated installation instructions,
allowing authentication of a file source that
may be a party other than the ACS operator.
Administrator can use advanced firmware management
to manage CPE firmware easily. You can set up
a software version to a model on advanced firmware
management on VigorACS. VigorACS will check
CPE software version by CPE provisioning mechanism.
When the software version on CPE is different
with the setting, VigorACS will request CPE
to get correct firmware. All the software version
of CPEs will be the same under VigorACS management.
We also provide exclusive list to allow some
CPEs with specific software version.
-
Log system
VigorACS will log every activity among VigorACS's
user, VigorACS, CPEs. VigorACS will log user
login, file upload, set parameters, CPE inform,
and so on. You can check any problem by logs.
-
Security Management
VigorACS provides three security levels. Different
security level has different features. For instance,
Supper Administrator can do anything, but administrator
can not enable/disable CPE.
VigorACS also provides the security control
to allow operator to manage CPE or network.
For instance, you can allow one operator to
manage one network but others operators can
not.
-
Northbound Interfaces
VigorACS provides a serious of Web Service for
Northbound interfaces. You can use these Web
Services by Web Service standard. VigorACS also
provides a Java based client API to help customer
to use these Web Services.
