Advantages of TR-069

  • TR-069 can manage devices with dynamic IP addresses.
    • TR-069 use Organization Unique ID (OUI) and serial number rather than IP to identify a device.

  • TR-069 can manage devices in a private network.
    • The HPE ACS BIMS (an iMC module) uses HTTP to communicate with the device, and the session is initiated by the device, so BIMS can pass through NAT to manage the device.

  • TR-069 is secure.
    • TR-069 can use HTTPS to communicate with or transfer files to/from the device; it is more secure than TFTP, FTP or Telnet.

  • TR-069 is suitable for WAN management across internet.

  • TR-069 is suitable for zero-touch configuration.
    • The zero-configuration mechanism is defined in the TR-069 specification.

  • TR-069 is suitable for large-scale device management.
    • TR-069 support distributed architecture. The ACS can be distributed to multiple servers, each ACS can manage part of devices.
