2 Introduction
As a long term evolution version of 3G protocols, LTE has made remarkable progress in
recent years. Access terminal products play an increasingly important role in network
evolution, and the product forms are diversified. Access terminal products are important parts
of Huawei end to end (E2E) solutions, and are of great significance in improving
completeness of Huawei solutions.
As broadband access terminals that are used in the Passenger Information System (PIS),
terminal access units (TAU) are placed in the head and tail of a train, connect to the ground
and train using the wireless standard TDD-LTE (where TDD refers to time division duplex),
and provide upstream and downstream data transmission for the train, as shown in Figure 2-1.
TAUs provide multiple data playback in the downstream direction, and provide video
surveillance data backhaul in the upstream direction.
Figure 2-1 TAU backhaul network architecture in the PIS
As access terminals on wireless Internet of Things (IoT) dedicated networks, outdoor
customer premises equipment (CPE) connects to sensors through wired Ethernet ports for
collecting data. Generally, CPEs support power over Ethernet (PoE) and transmit data back
through wireless LTE networks.

eLTE terminals have the following management features:
The number of terminals is large, and terminals scatter over large areas.
Terminals are deployed in various modes on the user side, and the networks are complex.
The openness of network structures brings security problems.
Terminals are of various types, and there is a lack of unified standards.
Terminals are simple, and parameter settings are rarely needed after services are
deployed.
The features bring difficulties to device management.
Based on the preceding features and difficulties, terminals use TR069 as the network
management protocol in addition to supporting near end web network management systems
(NMSs). eSight helps users manage a large number of terminals in a centralized manner, uses
automatic deployment to overcome service deployment difficulties, and reduces operating
costs of users.

3 Solution
3.1 Solution Overview
eLTE device management functions include PnP access mode for terminals, terminal
firmware upgrade, device configuration management, and remote device maintenance.
3.1.1 Terminal NE Management
eSight provides a unified entry for managing a specified type of terminals, and supports the
following functions:
Basic terminal information
eSight manages connected terminals in lists, and displays basic device information such
as the IP address, firmware version, management status, O&M operations, and O&M
operation results. In addition, users can export terminal lists, delete specified terminals,
and manage subnets to which terminals belong.
eSight displays common terminal parameters in a centralized manner, which can be
refreshed manually. Users can use the IP ping function to check connectivity between
eSight and terminals to learn about the IP link status between them in a timely manner.
Common terminal configuration
Users can use the TR069 data model tree to modify parameters.
Common terminal parameter setting
Users can view and modify common parameters such as wide area network (WAN), local
area network (LAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), route, gateway, and
auto-configuration server (ACS) parameters.
Web user interface (UI) jumping
User can use the web UI jumping function to directly jump to the CPE web UI.
Configuration file export
Users can use this function to export, download, and back up terminal configuration
files.
Configuration file loading
Users can load selected configuration files to terminals to ensure that terminals use
specified configuration files.

Alarm management
Users can view current and historical alarms for specified NEs.
Peak rate monitoring
Users can start and stop the peak rate monitoring task, display IP layer traffic statistics in
the upstream and downstream directions, and export details about peak rate monitoring.
3.1.2 PnP Device Access
Automatically grouping CPEs to different subnets
Users can create CPE subnets on eSight. When CPEs initially register with eSight,
eSight automatically adds CPEs to corresponding subnets based on the authorized
terminal list configuration.
Automatically updating configuration files
After CPE subnets are created, users can create a configuration file for each subnet. Then,
eSight automatically updates the corresponding configuration file on a CPE when the
CPE is added to a subnet.
Automatically upgrading version files
Users can upload firmware version files for CPEs. eSight automatically queries the
firmware version of a CPE, and compares it with the version of the firmware version file
uploaded by users. If the versions do not match, eSight automatically upgrades CPE
firmware.
Figure 3-1 PnP device access
3.1.3 Configuration File Updating
eSight allows users to manage CPE parameter settings using configuration files. Users can
perform the following configuration file management functions:
Export configuration files from specified CPEs in online mode.

3.1.6 Remote Maintenance and Management
eSight allows users to remotely maintain terminals in batches. The eSight server can remotely
ping WAN IP addresses of terminals, reboot terminals, and restore terminals to factory
defaults.
3.2 Key Technologies
3.2.1 TR069 Protocol Stack
With the popularization of IP terminals (especially at home) such as voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) and Internet Protocol television (IPTV) terminals, it becomes more and more
difficult to manage and maintain a large number of devices. The costs of network product
carriers are greatly increased. Traditional NMSs based on Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) appear to be inadequate when facing so many terminals, affecting the
development and scale of the broadband access market. TR069 defines a brand new NMS
architecture that consists of the management model, interaction interface, and management
parameter, greatly reducing network product operating costs.
TR069 is a Broadband Forum (formerly known as DSL Forum) technical specification
entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). The document ID of the technical
specification is TR069. Since TR069 was introduced by DSL Forum in May 2004, carriers
have deployed many TR069-based terminals. From the protocol development perspective,
TR069 is still in the process of continuous development.
As the network management center, the ACS is located at the network O&M layer, and is
generally deployed on the carrier side to manage all terminals. O&M personnel use the ACS
to maintain and manage the entire network. Non-handheld terminals function as access
devices and are located on the user side. Generally, terminals are placed in specific enterprise
office environments. Terminals can be located on the same network as the ACS, or located on
a LAN so that they are on a different network from the ACS. Interfaces between the ACS and
CPEs are southbound interfaces, and interfaces between the ACS and management systems
are northbound interfaces. TR069 mainly defines southbound interfaces.
Figure 3-4 TR069-based network management network
The ACS can be integrated into the NMS for a dedicated network, as shown in Figure 3-5.
The NMS manages both network-side devices and terminals.

Figure 3-5 Solution where the NMS and ACS are deployed together
Figure 3-6 shows the original TR069 protocol stack.
Figure 3-6 TR069 protocol stack
The protocol stack is based on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and
uses a standard Internet transmission security protocol such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
3.0 or Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0. Using SSL or TLS is not mandatory. Users must
ensure that certificate-based authentication is performed between CPEs and the ACS. The
ACS and CPEs use Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 1.1 to exchange messages. Messages
are encapsulated using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) packages. A SOAP package is
an Extensible Markup Language (XML) document consisting of a SOAP header and a SOAP
body.

3.2.2 PnP Automatic Deployment
Figure 3-9 shows the PnP automatic deployment process.
Figure 3-9 PnP automatic deployment process
After being powered on, a terminal initiates the PnP process as follows:
The terminal proactively looks for the IP address of the ACS from the domain name server
(DNS), and registers with the ACS after the IP address is obtained. The ACS proactively
delivers the version file and configuration file to the terminal to ensure that the terminal can
enter the O&M status without manual intervention after it is started.
Terminal authorization management allows users to manage a list of authorized terminals on
eSight. eSight identifies a terminal based on the terminal ID contained in the message
reported by the terminal, and checks whether the terminal is in the authorized terminal list
saved on eSight. If yes, eSight allows the terminal to register with and connect to eSight. If no,
eSight rejects the terminal and records a system log. The authorized terminal list management
feature allows users to import a device list, and add, delete, modify, and query items in the
authorized terminal list.
The prerequisites of the PnP process are that an authorized terminal list has been imported to
eSight and users have purchased the corresponding number of licenses. In addition, the PnP
process also verifies that terminals are authorized and the number of licenses is sufficient.
Before using the PnP service, users must clearly specify the mapping between the online
version for the specified terminal type and the version of the terminal that initiates the PnP
process, and upload and store the online firmware version file and configuration file on eSight

in advance. Terminal maintenance personnel release the PnP configuration file and provide
the method of modifying the configuration file, where the policy is the same as that for
manual configuration file updating tasks. If no corresponding firmware version file or
configuration file is available, the PnP process skips corresponding steps.
The PnP process is triggered by the Inform message sent by the terminal. Generally, in the
Inform message sent by a terminal that initiates registration for the first time, the eventcode
value is bootstrap. When considering that the Inform message with eventcode being
bootstrap is properly received by eSight, the terminal reports Inform messages with other
eventcode values. Therefore, provided that DeviceID of the terminal is authorized and
sufficient licenses are available, eSight checks whether the terminal that reports Inform
messages has a record on eSight to determine whether to initiate the PnP process for the
terminal.
The entire PnP process consists of the registration, upgrade, and configuration processes. In
the wireless upgrade scenario where bandwidth is limited, the upgrade and configuration
processes are optional. Users can set PnP parameters to disable the upgrade and configuration
processes in the PnP process. In this way, the PnP process ends when the terminal is registered.
After the PnP process ends, users need to manually upgrade the firmware of the terminal and
update the configuration file.

Authorized list
The authorized list provides a list of authorized devices for eSight to reject unauthorized
devices that attempt to connect to eSight. Before devices connect to eSight, users must create
the authorized list and specify subnets for devices. Users can add a single device to the
authorized list or import multiple devices to the authorized list in batches. Before adding a
single device, users must create subnets. Batch import automatically creates configured
subnets.
