TR-069 TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

Dimark's standards based network provisioning and management products combines a client-server architecture with the intelligence and power of modern network processors to provide a comprehensive software solution that makes sophisticated network devices easy to install and manage. Dimark’s software technology can be readily applied to a wide range of networked products.

Dimark's engineering efforts are currently focused on TR-069 and related technologies.  The software architecture has two key components, the Dimark Management Server (DMS) and the Dimark Embedded Client.

TR-069 ACS
DMS manages the software versions, configuration data files, upgrades, optional features and subscriptions. It interacts with the broadband provider’s OSS to obtain the configuration data and features selected by the customer for each gateway. It then provides this information to the gateway during installation, or post-installation for configuration changes, upgrades and to add new features. To provide scalability to accommodate a growing customer base, load balancing and failure recovery, DMS may be hosted on multiple geographically dispersed servers.

TR-069 Embedded Client
The TR-069 client runs as embedded software in the gateway and acts as an agent to enforce the DMS policies. It has a modular architecture and has been written to be OS and hardware independent allowing it to be easily ported to a different OS and hardware platform. As DMS supports the industry standard TR-069, it is not necessary for Dimark to supply the client code embedded in the CPE in order for the company’s ACS to be able to provision the device.
