Questions
What is a TR-069 ACS?
An auto-configuration server (ACS) is the server that TR-069 devices, such as fibre ONTs, home routers and LTE units, call home to. Through it an ISP reads a device’s status and changes its settings remotely, without visiting the customer.
Is FreeACS really free?
Yes, for up to 100 devices, with every feature and no time limit. Paid plans start at $5 a month for 500 devices.
Which devices work with FreeACS?
Any device with a TR-069 (CWMP) client. That includes most fibre ONTs (Huawei, ZTE, Nokia, FiberHome), many ISP routers (TP-Link, MikroTik with the tr069-client package) and LTE and 5G CPEs. FreeACS speaks both TR-098 and TR-181.
Do my devices need a public IP address?
No. Devices connect out to FreeACS. A command runs right away when FreeACS can reach the device for a Connection Request, and otherwise at its next check-in, which FreeACS sets to every 15 minutes.
Should I use the HTTPS or the HTTP ACS URL?
HTTPS whenever the device accepts it. Use the plain HTTP URL for firmware that cannot validate a modern certificate; Digest authentication still protects the password.
How do I move my devices from another ACS?
Change the ACS URL, username and password on your devices, or in your OLT or provisioning profile, to the ones on your FreeACS dashboard. Each device registers itself at its next check-in.
