The DSL Forum approved Technical Report 142 (TR-142) - Framework for TR-069 enabled passive optical network (PON) and fiber related devices.
Developed by the forum's DSLHome Technical Working Group, TR-142 defines how Auto-Configuration Servers (ACS) in the network can remotely configure, troubleshoot and manage a PON optical network termination (ONT) with layer 3 capabilities using the forum’s existing customer premises equipment (CPE) local-area network (LAN) management protocol, TR-069.
As vendors and service providers look to maximize revenues, the lack of common remote management capability across all access technologies is a stumbling block as they look to lower management complexities, minimize truck rolls and introduce new revenue generating services, according to the DSL Forum.
TR-142 is designed to save service providers time and money as they will not have to invest in another remote management solution purely for PON access, claims the DSL Forum.
Many service provider networks are a hybrid of fiber and digital subscriber line (DSL) so having the same management platform is an "essential development" to ensuring broadband success, said the DSL Forum.
