A TR-069 LAN-side device

Overview

The CDRouter TR-069 expansion module for CDRouter has the ability to test LAN-side devices, as defined in TR-106. TR-069 LAN-side devices are typically set-top boxes or VoIP endpoints that reside on the LAN side of the customer’s Internet Gateway Device (IGD) which may or may not support TR-069. The CDRouter TR-069 expansion currently supports automated PD-128 testing and data model profile testing for LAN-side devices.

In order to properly test a LAN-side device, CDRouter must have a way of communicating with it via TR-069 through the IGD. There are three ways that this communication channel can be established:

  • Static port mappings on the IGD which are manually created
  • Dynamic port mappings on the IGD which are created via TR-069 by CDRouter
  • TR-111 Part 2 support on the LAN-side device

For more information on these three options, please see Section 6 in the TR-069 User Guide.
