Recently one of our customers who’s got a large number of Calix E7 ONTs needed some help to automate some of the network management tasks to do with the CPEs.

We’d setup an TR-069 Auto Configuration Server (ACS) for the Calix RGs (The modems) so that we could manage the config parameters on the devices.

Setup was suprisingly easy, after installing some god-awful 90’s Java stuff to access Calix’s “CMS” we pointed everything at our ACS (Per screenshot below) and presto, a few thousand CPEs were there ready to be centrally managed.
