Guide - Device Approval Terms

Introduction

Welcome. In this document, you will find a detailed description of the terms used to represent the functions approved in the manageable devices through the TR-069 protocol in the IXC ACS.

But first, what's a "homologation"?

The approval refers to the process of assessing and validating the functionality of a device through the IXC ACS system, with the aim of verifying the compatibility and proper functioning of the device with the system. The main purpose of the IXC ACS is to manage devices using the TR-069 protocol, and approval ensures that this management is performed efficiently and compatible.

If a device has been approved, does that mean everything is functional?

If a device has been approved, this does not necessarily indicate that all its features are fully operational. Approval certifies that the device meets certain regulatory and safety requirements; however, its complete operation may vary depending on the firmware version, the hardware used and the implementation environment. In addition, even if certain features are not actively supported, external access to the device may allow for full administration or control of the equipment.

Features

Preconfiguration Data -NTP: Time synchronization with NTP servers.

  • Regulatory Domain (Wi-Fi): Country/region specific settings.
  • Bind Layer (LAN): Associate a communication protocol (such as TCP/IP) to a specific network interface (the hardware layer) within a local network.
  • Web access: Access to the device through the system.
  • WAN DNS: : It is possible to configure the DNS of the WAN interface manually or automatically, depending on the compatibility of the device with this functionality. In addition, it is possible to define the addresses of primary and secondary DNS, both for IPv4 and IPv6.
  • DNS LAN: Primary and secondary DNS, covering IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. Action Data on Device

  • **Restart:**Restart the device.
  • **Reset:**Automatic reconfiguration after reset. Device Summary Data
  • Device Information: Last connection information, uptime, serial number (SN) and ports.
  • WAN interfaces: Status of IP connections, check IPoE, active PPPoE.
  • WAN history**: Upload and download monitoring.
  • Connected Devices: Displays the current amount of connected devices and an average, and displays the description of connected devices.
  • Ping: Connectivity test.
  • Traceroute: Route to destination.
  • Next Networks: When Wi-Fi is enabled on your device, it automatically searches and lists available networks within your reach.
  • Speed Test: Upload and download test via speedtest.
  • Events: History of device events such as restarting. PPP Connectivity Data
  • PPP interfaces: Allows configuration, management and removal of PPP interfaces.
  • Authentication Settings: User credentials and password.
  • DNS Configuration (WAN): It is possible to configure the DNS of the WAN interface manually or automatically, depending on the compatibility of the device with this functionality. In addition, it is possible to define the addresses of primary and secondary DNS, both for IPv4 and IPv6.
  • **MTU Configuration:**Define the maximum size of data packages to be sent on a network.
  • Enable IPv6: Parameter for activation or deactivation of IPv6 support on the network.
  • **VLAN Configuration:**Managing the activation, deactivation and modification of VLAN ID. IP Connectivity Data -DHCP: Enable and disable DHCP from device.
  • Connect Configuration: External IP, gateway and network mask.
  • DNS Configuration: It is possible to configure the DNS of the WAN interface manually or automatically, depending on the compatibility of the device with this functionality. In addition, it is possible to define the addresses of primary and secondary DNS, both for IPv4 and IPv6.
  • **MTU Configuration:**Define the maximum size of data packages to be sent on a network.
  • Enable IPv6: Parameter for activation or deactivation of IPv6 support on the network. LAN Settings Data
  • DHCP server: Gateway, IP range and subnet mask.
