TR-069 (Technical Report 069) is a DSL Forum (which was later renamed as Broadband Forum) technical specification entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices.

Details
As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP-based protocol, it provides the communication between customer-premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Servers (ACS). It includes both a safe auto configuration and the control of other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. The protocol addressed the growing number of different Internet access devices such as modems, routers, gateways, set-top box, and VoIP-phones. Configuration of this equipment is claimed to have become too complicated for the end-users. The TR-069 standard was developed for automatic configuration of these devices with Auto Configuration Servers (ACS). The technical specifications are managed and published by the Broadband Forum. TR-069 was first published in May 2004, with amendments in 2006, 2007, and November 2010 to version 1.2.[1]
Other fora, such as the Home Gateway Initiative (HGI), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) and WiMAX Forum endorsed CWMP as the protocol for remote management of home network devices and terminals (such as the DVB IPTV set-top box).
There is a growing trend to add TR-069 management functionality to home networking devices such as powerline adapters[2] used for distribution of IPTV content inside customer premises, as well as many other access devices like FTTH CPE/ONTs, WIMAX CPE[3] and other carrier access equipment
Functions supported by TR-069
