Configure TR-069 on the Cisco IP Phone 7800 Series or 8800 Series Multiplatform Phone

Objective

TR-069 defines the Customer Premise Equipment Wide Area Network Management Protocol (CWMP). It describes the interaction between an auto-configuration server (ACS) and one or more endpoints that supports CWMP. TR-069 makes “no-touch” installation, deployment of new services, firmware maintenance, and troubleshooting possible. Configuring TR-069 on the Cisco IP Phone 7800 or 8800 Series Multiplatform Phones allows the device to communicate with the ACS and be able to request updates. It will also allow the ACS to instantly reach the phone in case new services are to be deployed.
