Setting up CWMP with LANconfig

In LANconfig, the CPE WAN Management Protocol is configured under Management > CWMP/TR-069.

CWMP activated

Enables or disables CWMP.

ACS URL

Here you enter the address of the ACS (auto configuration server) which the CPE (customer premises equipment) connects to. The address is entered in the IPv4, IPv6, or FQDN format. HTTP and HTTPS are permitted, although the use of HTTPS is preferred. Otherwise the devices transmit device-specific parameters, such as passwords or access data, unencrypted. Before you can use HTTPS, the trusted root certificate for verifying the server identity needs to be uploaded to the device.

ACS username

Enter a user name for the device to use when connecting with the ACS (auto configuration server).

ACS password

Enter a password for the device to use when connecting with the ACS (auto configuration server).

Connection request user

Select a user to be used by the ACS (auto configuration server) when connecting to this device.

Connection request password

Assign a password that the ACS (auto configuration server) uses for connection requests.

Port

Specify the local port used by the ACS (auto configuration server) when connecting to this device.

Important: If you use IPv6, you additionally need to set the IPv6 firewall to allow access to the corresponding port under Firewall/QoS > IPv6 rules > IPv6 inbound rules.

Source address

Here you have the option to configure a sender address for the device to use in place of the one that would otherwise be used automatically for this target address. If you have configured loopback addresses, you can specify them here as source address.

Note: If the source address set here is a loopback address, then the device will use this unmasked even for remote stations that are masked.

The device accepts addresses in various input formats:

• Name of the IP network (ARF network), whose address should be used.
• "INT" for the address of the first intranet.
• "DMZ" for the address of the first DMZ (caution: If there is an interface called "DMZ", then the device takes its address).
• LB0 ... LBF for one of the 16 loopback addresses or its name
• Any IP address in the form x.x.x.x.

Periodic inform activated

Enables or disables the sending of periodic inform messages from the device to the ACS (auto configuration server).

Periodic inform interval

This is the interval in seconds between two periodic inform messages sent by the device to the ACS (auto configuration server). The ACS then requests further information from the device. The default value is 1200 seconds (20 minutes). Do not set a value that is too small, as inform messages increase network load. The interval does not commence before the device and server have exchanged all of the necessary information.

Allow file transmission (firmware or script)

This switch allows you to transfer a firmware or a script file from the ACS (auto configuration server) to this device.

Allow firmware updates

This switch allows the ACS (auto configuration server) to make firmware modifications to the device.

Allow changing of the user credentials for connection request

This switch allows the ACS (auto configuration server) to change the device administrator or to change the name and password of the device administrator used to connect to the device.
