The techologies help the client to define so called public address (NAT addresses – an address of external gateway, behind which the client is located). When the public address is defined, the client inform the server. Then, the server uses the public address (not the local) to establish connection with the client. 

• NAT mode – defines how client should obtain public address. The following modes are available: 
  • STUN – use STUN protocol for defining public address; 
  • Manual – manual mode, when public address is set manually in the configuration; in this mode, you should add the rule for forwarding of TCP port used by TR-069 client on the device implementing NAT functions. 
  • Off – do not use NAT – the mode is recommended to be used only when the device is connected to ACS server directly, without network addresses modification. In this case, public address coincides with local one. 

When STUN mode is selected you should configure the following settings: 

• STUN Server Address  – IP address or domain name of STUN server;
• STUN Server Port – UDP port of STUN server (the value by default is 3478);
• Minimum Keep Alive Period, s and  Maximum Keep Alive Period, s  – defines time interval for sending messages to STUN server periodically to detect public address changing.  

When Manual mode is selected, client address is set manually in NAT Address parameter (the address should be set in IPv4 format). 

Through TR-069, you may implement main configuration of the device, firmware update and reading the data on the device (firmware version, model, serial number, etc.), uploading/downloading of configuration file, remote reboot (TR-069, TR-098, TR-104 specifications are supported).

• Gateway – IP address of the gateway, through which access to the addressee is implemented;
• Netmask – subnet mask;
• Flags – specific route attributes. The following flag values exist:
  • U – means that the route is created and passable.
  • H – identifies the route to the specific host.
  • G – means that the route lies through the external gateway. System network interface provides routes in the network with direct connection. All other routes lie through the external gateways. G flag is used for all routes except for the routes in the direct connection networks. 
  • R – means that the route most likely was created by a dynamic routing protocol running on a local system through the 'reinstate' parameter.
  • D – means that the route was added on reception of the ICMP Redirect Message. When the system learns the route from the ICMP Redirect message, the route will be added into the routing table in order to exclude redirection of the following packets intended for the same destination.
  • М – means that the route was modified – likely by a dynamic routing protocol running on a local system with the 'mod' parameter applied.
  • А – means buffered route with corresponding record in the ARP table.
  • С – means that the route source is the core routing buffer.
  • L – means that the route destination is an address of this PC. Such «local routes» exist in the routing buffer only.
  • В – means that the route destination is a broadcasting address. Such 'broadcast routes' exist in the routing buffer only. 
  • I – means that the route is related to the loopback interface and not to address to a ring network. Such 'internal routes' exist in the routing buffer only.
  • ! – means that datagrams sent to this address will be rejected by the system.
• Metric – defines route cost. Metrics allows you to sort the duplicate routes, if they are exist in the table. 
• Ref – identified number of references to the route for connection establishment (not used by the system).
• Use – number of route detections performed by IP protocol.
• Interface – name of the network interface that the route lies through.

Device automatic update algorithm based on DHCP

Device automatic update algorithm is defined by the «Parameters Priority from» value.

1.  If the «Static settings» value is selected, then the full path (including access protocol and server address) to configuration file and firmware file will be defined by «Configuration file» and «Firmware file» parameters. Full path should be specified in URL format (HTTP and TFTP are supported):
   <protocol>://<server address>/<path to file>, where

• • <protocol> – protocol used for downloading corresponding files from the server (HTTP and TFTP are supported);
  • <server address> – address of the server with a file to be downloaded (domain name or IPv4);
  • <path to file> – path to file on the server.

You may use the following macro in URL (reserved words substituted with the specific values):

• • $MA – MAC address – the macro is substituted with device's MAC address in file URL;
  • $SN – Serial number – the macro is substituted with device's serial number in file URL;
  • $PN – Product name – the macro is substituted with device's model name in file URL (e.g., WB-2P-LR5).

For MAC address, serial number and model name, see «Device» section on the monitoring page. 
URL examples:

tftp://download.server.loc/firmware.file,

http://192.168.25.34/configs/WB-2P-LR5//my.cfg,

tftp://server.tftp/$PN/config/$SN.cfg,

http://server.http/$PN/firmware/$MA.frm and etc.

Some URL parameters might be omitted. For example, configuration file may be specified in the following format:

http://192.168.18.6
or
config_wb.cfg

If the system is unable to extract the necessary file downloading parameters (protocol, server address or path to file on server) from configuration file or firmware file URL, it will attempt to extract an unknown parameter from DHCP Option 43 (Vendor specific info) or 66 (TFTP server) and 67 (Boot file name), when address obtaining via DHCP is enabled for the Internet service (DHCP option format and analysis will be provided below). If the system is unable to extract missing parameter from DHCP options, default value will be used:

• • portocol: tftp;
  • server address: update.local;
  • configuration file name: wb-2p-lr5.cfg;
  • firmware file name: wb-2p-lr5.fw.

Thus, if you leave 'Configuration file' and 'Firmware file' fields empty, and Options 43 or 66, 67 with file locations are not obtained via DHCP, configuration file URL will be as follows:

tftp://update.local/wb-2p-lr5.cfg,
and the firmware file URL:
tftp://update.local/wb-2p-lr5.fw.

2. If 'DHCP options' value is selected, configuration file and firmware file URLs will be extracted from DHCP Option 43 (Vendor specific info) or 66 (TFTP server) and 67 (Boot file name), thus, address obtaining via DHCP should be enabled for the Internet service (DHCP option format and analysis will be provided below). If URL parameters are not provided by DHCP options, default parameters values will be used:

1. • portocol: tftp;
   • server address: update.local;
   • configuration file name: wb-2p-lr5.cfg;
   • firmware file name: wb-2p-lr5.fw.

Option 43 format (Vendor specific info)

1|<acs_url>|2|<pcode>|3|<username>|4|<password>|5|<server_url>|6|<config.file>|7|<firmware.file>|8|<vlan_tag>

1 – TR-069 autoconfiguration server address code;

2 – «Provisioning code» parameter specification code.

3 – code of the username for TR-069 server authorization;

4 – code of the password for TR-069 server authorization;

5 – server address code; server address URL should be specified in the following format: tftp://address or  http://address . The first version represents TFTP server address, the second version – HTTP server address;

6 – configuration file name code;

7 – firmware file name code;

8 – a code of VLAN tag for management;

«|» – mandatory separator used between codes and suboption values. 

Algorithm of identification for configuration file and firmware file URL parameters from DHCP Options  43 and 66, 67.

1. DHCP exchange initialization 
   Device initializes DHCP exchange after the startup.
   
   
2. Option 43 analysis 
   When Option 43 has been received, suboption 4 is analyzed (vlan_tag):

• • if there is a suboption and it is different from current VLAN tag, DHCP exchange is initiated in new VLAN;
  • if there is no suboption or suboption is not different from current VLAN tag, the analysis of suboptions with codes 1, 2 and 3 to define server address and names of configuration files and firmware files.  
    
    

3. Option 66 analysis

If Option 43 is not received from DHCP server or it is received but the system fails to extract the server address, Option 66 will be searched. If the system fails to obtain the firmware file name, Option 67 will be searched. They are used for TFTP server address and the firmware file path extraction respectively. Then, configuration and firmware files will be downloaded from Option 66 address via TFTP.  

Special aspects of configuration updates

Configuration file should be in .tar.gz format (this format is used when configuration is saved from the web interface in the «System» – «Configuration management» tab). Configuration downloaded from the server will be applied automatically and does not require device reboot.

Special aspects of firmware updates

Firmware file should be in .tar.gz format. When the firmware file is loaded, the device unpacks it and checks its version (using 'version' file in tar.gz archive).

If the current firmware version matches the version of the file obtained via DHCP, firmware will not be updated. Update is performed only when firmware versions are mismatched. When the firmware image is written into the device flash memory, the Power indicator will flash green, orange and red in succession.

System recovering after firmware update failure

If while the firmware update (through the web interface or through autoupdate mechanism based on DHCP) a failure occured (e.g. due to power cutoff) and the device does not operate (the «Power» indicator is constantly solid red), use the following algorithm to recover the device:  

• Unpack the archive with firmware file. 
• Connect PC to the device port. Set the following subnet mask on the network interface: 192.168.1.0/24.
• Launch TFTP client on PC (it is recommended to use Tftpd32 programm for Windows). Set 192.168.1.6 as remote host and select file  linux.bin from the unpacked archive to transmit. 
• Launch the command to transmit the file to remote host (Put command). The process of file transmission will be launched.  
• If the transmission has started, please, wait for finishing. The device will write the firmware to its memory and launch the system automatically. The time of writing takes approximately 8 minutes. If the process is completed successfully, «Power» indicator will be green or orange. The configuration of the device before failure is saved. If you can not connect the device, reset it to factory settings. 
• If the process has not started, make sure that the network settings of PC are correct and try again. If it does not work, sent the device to maintanence service or proceed recovery using the connection via COM port through a special adapter (if available).

Application А. Launch user script when starting the system

Sometimes you need the device to implement certain actions when starting, which cannot be implemented through settings in configuration file. In this case you may configure a user script through a configuration file that will be launched when the system starting. You may set any needed commands sequence. 

For user script launching, there is a settings section in the configuration file cfg.yaml:

UserScript:
Enable: "0"
URL: ""

Option «Enable» permits (if the value is 1) or forbids (if the value is 0) launch of the script, path to which is in URL parameter.

The userscript might be located on remote server as well as on the device. The script is loaded via HTTP or TFTP from remote server. Examples of configuration files for user script launching using different sources are given below: 

1. Launch from HTTP server 
   To launch a script from HTTP server, enter the entire path to the file in HTTP-URL format to URL parameter:
   URL: " http://192.168.0.250/user-script/script.sh "
   In this case, after the device started, file script.sh, which is kept in the catalogue having 192.168.0.250 address, will be automatically loaded via HTTP from the defined server. Then it will be launched.  
2. Launch from TFTP server  
   To launch a script from TFTP server, enter the entire path to the file in TFTP-URL format to URL parameter :
   URL: " tftp://192.168.0.250/user-script/script.sh "
   In this case, after the device started, file script.sh, which is kept in the catalogue having 192.168.0.250 address, will be automatically loaded via TFTP from the defined server. Then it will be launched.
   

3. Local script launch
   Due to the peculiar properties of the file system, a local script should be stored in /etc/config catalogue as the content of the catalogue is saved after device reload. You may create script in /etc/config catalogue through vi editor or load it from TFTP server using tftp –gl   user.sh <TFTP-server   address> command.  After creating a script, you should set rights for launching using the following command: 
   chmod 777 /etc/config/user.sh
   In configuration file, URL for local script launching should be set as follows:
   URL: " File://etc/config/user.sh "
   

   A user script should start from the #!/bin/sh directive.
