Frequently Asked Questions

An Auto Configuration Server (ACS) enables the automated remote provisioning and management of network devices. The TR-069 and TR-369 standards specify the communication between customer premises equipment (CPE) and ACS. The ACS provides a secure link between the subscriber's devices and the service provider's customer service representatives (CSR), operational and business support systems (OSS/BSS), field technicians, and additional support staff.

Yes, you can deploy Incognito's Auto Configuration Server (ACS) in the cloud. Incognito's DX SaaS solution is designed with flexible cloud deployment options to cater to service providers' diverse needs. Choose the deployment model that best fits your operational requirements and future growth plans.

Incognito's Auto Configuration Server is designed to support a wide variety of devices that utilize the TR-069 and TR-369 device management standards. This includes, but is not limited to, residential gateways, fiber optical network terminals (ONTs), 4G/5G fixed wireless access (FWA) routers, IPTV set-top boxes, as well as Wi-Fi routers and extenders. If your device utilizes either TR-069 or TR-369 for management and configuration, Incognito's ACS can support it.

Absolutely. Incognito takes pride in offering secure and reliable solutions that align with the Broadband Forum's standard for CWMP (CPE WAN Management Protocol). Incognito's Auto Configuration Server utilizes encryption protocols to manage communication between devices and user permissions to prevent unauthorized access.
