Remote Management of Non-TR-069 UPnP End-User Devices in a Private Network

Abstract

End-to-end broadband service delivery requires remote management of devices in the home network, beyond the home gateway (HG). The service provider can only put limited requirements to these of-the-shelf devices, and therefore has to make intelligent use of their given control and management protocols. We developed a demonstrator for the remote management of Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) devices in the home with a simple TR-069/UPnP proxy on the HG. It shows how UPnP devices can be discovered, configured, controlled and monitored with a legacy TR-069 auto-configuration server.
