Description

Fixed network management, Ji server address acquisition and configuration method, equipment and system

The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication and fixed network convergence, and in particular, to a method, device and system for obtaining and configuring a fixed network device management server address. Background technique

Fixed-line telecommunications, called "fixed network", is a telecommunication network that transmits signals through solid media such as metal wires or optical fibers, which is different from wireless communication transmitted by radio waves.

The TR-069 protocol provides a common protocol framework for managing the configuration of home network devices in next-generation networks. The fixed network equipment management server (hereinafter referred to as the fixed network equipment management server) using the TR-069 protocol is used for the customer premises equipment in the home network from the network side of the fixed network (in English, Customer Premise Equipment, CPE), for example Fixed-line access devices such as gateways, routers, and set-top boxes for remote centralized management. In the fixed network, the devices that need to be configured and managed from the network side are generally CPEs that are directly related to the service of the carrier. The configuration, diagnosis, and upgrade of these CPEs are all performed by the unified fixed network device management server. carry out.

As the wireless communication rate increases, some applications of the original fixed network access devices are gradually replaced by wireless access devices. The remote device management protocol for wireless access devices has the Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (English called Open Mobile Alliance Device Management, OMA-DM) protocol, but it is not mature enough. As more traditional telecom operators deploy fixed-line device management servers and have successfully applied them, these operators will not increase the OMA-DM server for remote management of these wireless access devices in order to protect existing investments. Therefore, these operators need to use the fixed network equipment management server to remotely and centrally manage these wireless access devices. The above fixed network access device and the above wireless access device may be collectively referred to as CPE, and the CPE is specifically referred to as a wireless access device.

Remote centralized management of wireless access devices using a fixed network device management server When the CPE is roaming, the CPE needs to be managed by the automatic configuration server (Auto Configuration Server, called ACS) in the roaming area. ACS is a commonly used fixed network device management server. Currently, the ACS's Uniform Resource Locator (English for Uniform Resource Locator) is configured on the CPE. The Internet Protocol (English for Internet Protocol) is obtained by parsing the ACS host name in the URL. In turn, the ACS performs remote centralized management of the CPE. However, this method is only applicable to the scenario where the carrier's customized version of the CPE and the carrier's ACS IP address are unchanged, and the CPE sold by the retailer is not suitable for this method.
