Eltex.ACS

Monitoring of the main parameters of devices
Online display of the devices accidents in text and graphic form
Grouping of subscriber terminals to manage and update multiple devices at the same time
Automatic registration of devices

Automatic Configuration Server (ACS) is designed to automate and ease the configuration of customers premises equipment (CPE) using a protocol described in the standard TR-069, and allows the operator to centrally manage client equipment through a global network. This standard defines a mechanism which makes a safe automatic configuring of CPE and combines CPE management functions into a single system.

A unified approach to managing

Features laid down in the TR-069 Protocol allow the use of a common approach to the management of all user devices that are installed on the operator's network. Eltex.ACS server can be connected to a variety of user devices produced by Eltex. It is also possible to connect third-party devices which fully support TR-069 specifications and have been tested for compatibility.

Configuration models

Eltex.ACS complex allows you to create two configuration models of subscriber units: - only general parameters of subscriber units are configured using ACS; while private user data, such as phone numbers, PPP, SIP passwords and so on are set up by users themselves on their own devices through the WEB-interface. - a complete configuration of subscriber units is made using ACS, including all options to provide services.

Integration with OSS

ACS server can be managed via NorthBound, which allows full interaction with the OSS. This provides for possibility to adjust all elements of the network and connect a new subscriber within a very short period of time with a minimum of engineering resources consumed.

Benefits of Eltex.ACS

Option of preliminary assignment of a device to a subscriber, assignment on request
Management of VoIP-gateways hidden behind the router
Flexible integration with any CPE, supporting a TR-069 protocol
Automatic detection of new devices (zero-touch configuration)
Flexible hierarchical system of profiles and services allows you to create rich configurations based on different criteria of CPE grouping
Additional layer of abstraction of a subscriber from the device facilitates the setting of individual parameters and allows you to change the subscriber equipment (for similar equipment) without additional configuration services
Automation of network monitoring, failures tracking, updating the firmware
Connecting more than 100 thousand devices per server
Integration with the control system via Eltex.EMS station equipment within a single graphical user interface
HTTPS protocol
Scripting support (the ability of the operator to independently create any script of the ACS server work with the CPE)

Ease of use

Reduced dependence on the services of the "installers", activation and reconfiguration of services of any network devices that support TR-069 from a single ACS server

When adding the device into the operator's network a CPE will automatically appear in the server configuration
Service profiles and private user data are set up from the operator's PC or at the time of emergence on the server, or in advance by the serial number of the device
The server can work with any device supporting TR-069. Management and monitoring of different types of devices is performed by switching between classes in a single GUI window

Solving the problem of the SIP "passwords spills" as well as disclosure of other confidential information

All private user data are configured by the operator on the Eltex.ACS server and are not transmitted to the subscriber, which eliminates the problem of "spilling"

Troubleshooting

Ability to remotely test the connection by using the ping command from the subscriber device to any specific host of WAN or LAN network

Collection of statistical data for analysis

The ability to monitor the current status of services, interfaces, ports counters, and so on.

Backup of user configuration

Option of a centralized backup of current settings of network devices to the ACS server (or any other server within the network) with the possibility of their recovery in the future, such as after the device is reset to factory configuration

Centralized firmware update

by groups via the configured filters
by schedule
in safe mode (only when booting the device)

Integration of the system into existing network infrastructure

To fully integrate Eltex.ACS into current network infrastructure it is necessary to supplement responses of the DHCP server EMS with an option 43 in which an ACS address will be indicated to connect devices to the server. This have already successfully been done in the Novosibirsk branch of Rostelecom

Easy and intuitive GUI

Name	Descriotion
ACS	Auto-configuration and dynamic preparation of services to work Software versions control Status and performance monitoring Diagnostics
GUI and CLI management interfaces	For ease of use, both graphical and console management interfaces are available.
Cross-program interaction interface Nortbound Interface (NBI)	Designed to automate the interface between different systems. Implementation of NBI allows you to query the CPE lists, add and remove devices; customize your devices, manage services; reboot devices, update firmware and reset the devices to factory settings.
