Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a gateway registration method, apparatus, device and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Improved network infrastructure has provided a solid foundation for the prosperity of internet services, and innovative applications are emerging in an endless stream. New services such as 8K ultra-high-definition video, cloud virtual reality, cloud gaming, and live streaming are emerging one after another. These emerging services, in turn, place higher demands on network bandwidth, latency, and jitter, necessitating an urgent upgrade of broadband networks. To meet the increasing network demands of these new services, fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) technology has emerged. Traditional home networks have a single-tier architecture, with a single master gateway. Home networks using FTTR technology (referred to as FTTR networks) have a two-tier architecture, consisting of a master gateway and slave gateways. This is the most crucial aspect that distinguishes FTTR networks from traditional home networks. Therefore, FTTR technology is considered the most cutting-edge and suitable technology for home networks, providing greater broadband support.

[0003] There are currently two approaches to managing and controlling FTTR networks. One relies on the management systems provided by each FTTR equipment manufacturer. However, each manufacturer's management system can only manage its own equipment and cannot control equipment from other manufacturers. The other approach relies on the operator's Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) system to manage and control FTTR networks. However, due to the inherent imperfections of the ACS system, it cannot control the FTTR network's second-level terminals, namely the gateways. Therefore, there is currently no unified and effective management solution for FTTR networks. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Furthermore, in this solution, the master gateway generates the logical ID of the slave gateway connected to it based on its own logical ID. This allows the slave gateway to register and go online with the ACS system.

Furthermore, the ACS system can directly manage and control the slave gateways in the FTTR network, querying their operating parameters and performing operations such as software updates, factory resets, and device reboots. This ensures timely maintenance of the slave gateway's operating status, and ultimately the entire FTTR network, providing users with a better user experience.

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described in the embodiments of this application as "exemplarily" or "for example" should not be interpreted as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0040] In order to facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish between identical or similar items with basically the same functions and effects. Those skilled in the art can understand that words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order.

[0041] With the emergence of various new network services, people have higher demands on network capabilities. To meet the network requirements of new services, FTTR technology came into being and gradually became popular.

[0042] A home network that uses FTTR technology is called an FTTR network, which includes a master gateway and multiple slave gateways. There are two deployment schemes for FTTR networks, such as Figure 1 The point-to-multipoint (P2MP) solution shown in (a) of FIG. Figure 1 The point-to-point (Point 2 Point) solution shown in (b) in FIG.

[0043] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown in Figure (a), the P2MP solution is based on fiber optic networking. A master gateway is deployed in a home distribution box or central location. With the master gateway as the core, an FTTR network is constructed based on optical splitters and slave gateways. In the P2MP solution, the master gateway connects to the optical line terminal (OLT) and connects to multiple slave gateways using optical splitters and optical fibers.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown in (b) of Figure 1, the P2P solution also relies on fiber optic networking. A master gateway is deployed in a home distribution box or central location. The master gateway serves as the core, and multiple slave gateways serve as downstream devices to form an FTTR network. In this P2P solution, the master gateway connects to the OLT and directly connects to multiple slave gateways using fiber optic cables.

[0045] In an FTTR network, the master gateway is a new home optical modem. Positioned between the optical line terminal (OLT) and slave gateways, the master gateway connects to the OLT via XG(S)-PON or 10GEPON, supporting Gigabit-to-the-home (GTT), and provides fiber optic interfaces for connecting to slave gateways. In an FTTR network, the optical network extends further down to each slave gateway, with the master gateway serving as a bridging link. As the center of the home network, the master gateway provides unified management and configuration for all slave gateways.

[0046] Slave gateways are distributed wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) access devices in every room of the home. They connect to the main gateway via fiber optic cables and provide Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet ports for access to various home internet terminals. Slave gateways are distributed networking devices deployed in each room of the FTTR network. They connect to the main gateway via fiber optic cables and operate in bridging mode. The main gateway uniformly allocates and manages Internet Protocol (IP) and IP addresses for downstream devices, forming a unified, interoperable local area network for the entire home.

[0047] There are currently two approaches to managing and controlling FTTR networks. One involves using a network management system developed by the manufacturer of FTTR equipment (such as the master or slave gateway in the FTTR network) for supporting FTTR equipment. However, because the network management system is developed by the manufacturer to complement its own products, its customized interface protocols and control methods are only applicable to its own equipment and cannot control equipment from other manufacturers, resulting in a tightly coupled system. Given the wide variety of FTTR equipment available on the market, relying on the manufacturer's network management system to manage FTTR networks would require operators to use multiple network management systems, increasing costs and significantly increasing the complexity of operations and maintenance. Subsequent maintenance and upgrades of the network management system would also require significant adjustments, making this approach unsuitable. Another approach involves using the operator's existing ACS system to manage and control the FTTR network. However, the ACS system is based on the international standard TR069 protocol to manage the master gateway in the home network and does not define control methods for a two-level architecture consisting of a master and slave gateway. This means that existing ACS systems cannot manage and control the slave gateways in the FTTR network. Therefore, there is currently no unified and effective control standard for FTTR networks.

[0048] Against this backdrop, embodiments of the present application provide a gateway registration method that enables slave gateways in an FTTR network to register and go online with an ACS system, enabling the ACS system to effectively manage and control slave gateways in the FTTR network. Furthermore, this method can be used to manage FTTR equipment from different manufacturers, facilitating collaborative management of FTTR networks by operators and achieving unified and effective control of FTTR networks.

[0049] The gateway registration method provided in this application can be applied to Figure 2 The gateway registration system shown in the figure. Figure 2 As shown, the gateway registration system may include: an ACS system 101, a master gateway 102 and one or more slave gateways 103. Figure 2 Two slave gateways 103 are shown in the figure, but the number of slave gateways in the gateway registration system is not limited.

[0050] The ACS system 101 is connected to the master gateway 102 via the L1 interface. The ACS system 101 is connected to one or more slave gateways 103 via the L2 interface. The master gateway 102 is connected to one or more slave gateways 103 via the L3 interface. The I1 interface is a logical interface between the master gateway and the ACS system, enabling the ACS to manage and control the master gateway. The I2 interface is a logical interface between the slave gateway and the ACS system, enabling the ACS to manage and control the slave gateways. The L3 interface is a logical interface between the master gateway and the slave gateways, enabling the master gateway to manage and control the slave gateways.

[0051] In some embodiments, when the ACS system 101 needs to control the slave gateway 103, the master gateway 102 may report the logical identity document (ID) of the slave gateway 103 to the ACS system, and the master gateway 102 may send configuration information and the logical ID of the slave gateway 103 to the slave gateway 103. The slave gateway 103 then registers and authenticates with the ACS system 101 based on the configuration information and the logical ID, allowing the ACS system 101 to control the slave gateway 103, thereby enabling the ACS system 101 to control the entire FTTR network.

[0052] Figure 3 A flow chart of a gateway registration method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the gateway registration method provided in this application can be implemented by the above-mentioned network element registration system, and can specifically include the following steps:

[0053] S301: The first gateway performs authentication with the ACS system.

[0054] The first gateway can be the primary gateway in the FTTR network. The primary gateway and the ACS system can authenticate based on the TR069 protocol. TR069 is a communication protocol for interaction between customer premises equipment (CPE) and the ACS system. Based on this protocol, the CPE can perform functions such as service provisioning, feature configuration, file upload and download, and system testing. In this solution, the primary gateway is the CPE.

[0055] The master gateway can register and authenticate on the ACS system to obtain remote management parameter configuration items of the ACS system. The remote management parameter configuration items can be used for registration and authentication of the slave gateway on the ACS system.

[0056] S302: The first gateway sends configuration information to the second gateway.

[0057] The second gateway may be a slave gateway in the FTTR network. The configuration information may include: a remote management parameter configuration item and a logical ID parameter configuration item of the ACS system. The logical ID parameter configuration item may include a second logical ID. The second logical ID is used to indicate the second gateway and to indicate that the second gateway is a slave gateway of the first gateway (or to indicate a subordinate relationship between the slave gateway and the master gateway).

[0058] After obtaining the remote management parameter configuration item of the ACS system, the master gateway may send the remote management parameter configuration item of the ACS system and the logical ID parameter configuration item including the second logical ID to the slave gateway.

[0059] S303: The first gateway sends the second logical ID to the ACS system.

[0060] The master gateway may send the second logical ID to the ACS system. After receiving the second logical ID, the ACS system may save the second logical ID to authenticate subsequent request messages from the slave gateway.

[0061] S304: The second gateway sends a request message to the ACS system, where the request message includes configuration information.

[0062] The request message may be used by the ACS system to perform registration authentication on the slave gateway according to the second logical ID and configuration information.

[0063] After S302, the slave gateway may receive the configuration information sent by the master gateway. After receiving the configuration information, the slave gateway may send a request message carrying the configuration information to the ACS system for registration and authentication of the slave gateway on the ACS system.

[0064] S305: The ACS system registers and authenticates the second gateway according to the second logical ID and configuration information.

[0065] After receiving the request message from the slave gateway, the ACS system can register and authenticate the slave gateway according to the remote management parameter configuration items and logical ID parameter configuration items of the ACS system in the configuration information carried in the request message, and the pre-stored second logical ID.

[0066] S306: After the registration authentication of the second gateway is successful, the ACS system sends a response message to the second gateway.

[0067] The response message is used to indicate that the second gateway has been successfully registered and authenticated on the ACS system.

[0068] After the ACS system authenticates the registration of the slave gateway according to the configuration information and the second logical ID, the ACS system may send a response message to the slave gateway to indicate that the registration authentication of the slave gateway on the ACS system is successful.

[0069] The gateway registration method provided in this application sends configuration information to the slave gateway through the master gateway in the FTTR network and assigns a logical ID to the slave gateway, so that the slave gateway can use the configuration information and the logical ID to register and authenticate on the ACS system. This allows the ACS system to control the slave gateways in the FTTR network, and then control the entire FTTR network, thus compensating for the shortcomings of the existing ACS system in controlling the FTTR network and achieving unified and effective control of the FTTR network. At the same time, the gateway registration method provided in this solution is based on the international standard TR069 protocol. FTTR equipment from different manufacturers can all use this method to register and authenticate on the ACS system, allowing operators to collaboratively manage equipment from different manufacturers and facilitating operators' unified management of the FTTR network.

[0070] The following will describe in detail a gateway registration method provided by the embodiment of the present application in conjunction with specific embodiments, which can be applied to a gateway registration system. Figure 4 As shown, the method may include:

[0071] S401: A first gateway authenticates with an ACS system to obtain remote management parameter configuration items of the ACS system.

[0072] The first gateway may be a main gateway in the FTTR network.

[0073] In some embodiments, the master gateway can authenticate with the ACS system. After authentication, the master gateway can obtain remote management parameter configuration items of the ACS system. These remote management parameter configuration items of the ACS system can be used by the slave gateway to register and authenticate with the ACS system. The specific process for registering and authenticating the master gateway with the ACS system is specified in the TR069 protocol and can be found in related art descriptions, so this will not be repeated here.

[0074] The remote management parameter configuration items of the ACS system may include one or more of the following parameters: ACS website, ACS authentication user name, ACS authentication password, and parameters related to the gateway periodically reporting its own online status.

[0075] For example, the remote management parameter configuration items of the ACS system may be as shown in Table 1 below:

[0076] Table 1

[0077]

[0078]

[0079] As shown in Table 1, the remote management parameter configuration items of the ACS system can include specific parameters and corresponding parameter information. It should be noted that in the data types in Table 1, Object is an object type; String is a string type, and String(256) indicates that the maximum length of the string is 256; Boolean is a Boolean type, and the Boolean type has only two states: True and False; Int is an integer type, UnsignedInt is an unsigned integer type, and UnsignedInt[1:] indicates slicing the unsigned integer data, taking only the data from the second digit to the end; DateTime is a timestamp type, and the timestamp format can be year-month-day-hour-minute-second. Under the corresponding write field in Table 1, the R indicates that the parameter is configurable and modifiable. Under the corresponding read field in Table 1, the R indicates that the parameter is readable. The description field in Table 1 is an explanation of the parameter.

[0080] For example, the parameter corresponding to the URL of the ACS system is the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), and the corresponding data type is a string type with a maximum length of 256. This parameter is readable and writable, and the description indicates that this parameter is the URL address of the ACS system. The parameter corresponding to the username of the ACS system is Username, and the corresponding data type is a string type with a maximum length of 256. This parameter is readable and writable, and the description indicates that this parameter is the authentication username. The parameter corresponding to the password of the ACS system is Password, and the corresponding data type is a string with a maximum length of 256. This parameter is readable and writable, and the description indicates that this parameter is the authentication password. Similarly, the parameters related to the gateway periodically reporting its own online status are PeriodicInformEnable, PeriodicInformInterval, and PeriodicInformTime, which will not be repeated here.

[0081] S402: The second gateway sends a registration authentication request message to the first gateway.

[0082] The second gateway may be a slave gateway of the FTTR network, and the registration authentication request message is used to request authentication with the first gateway.

[0083] The master gateway is the core of the FTTR network and is responsible for the unified management and configuration of all slave gateways. Only after the authentication relationship between the master and slave gateways is established can the master gateway manage and issue configuration information to the slave gateways.

[0084] In some embodiments, after a physical connection is established between the slave gateway and the master gateway (ie, there is an optical fiber connection between the master and slave gateways), the slave gateway may send a registration authentication request message to the master gateway to request authentication with the master gateway.

[0085] S403: The first gateway sends a registration authentication confirmation message to the second gateway.

[0086] The registration authentication confirmation message is used to indicate that the authentication between the second gateway and the first gateway is successful.

[0087] In some embodiments, after receiving a registration authentication request message from a slave gateway, the master gateway may authenticate the slave gateway based on the registration authentication request message. After successful authentication, the master gateway may send a registration authentication confirmation message to the slave gateway to indicate that authentication between the slave gateway and the master gateway is successful. After successful authentication, the master gateway may manage the slave gateway and may also send configuration information to the slave gateway.

[0088] S404: The first gateway generates a second logical ID according to the first logical ID.

[0089] The first logical ID may be the logical ID of the first gateway. The second logical ID is used to indicate the second gateway and to indicate that the second gateway is a slave gateway of the first gateway.

[0090] In some embodiments, after successful authentication between a master gateway and a slave gateway, the master gateway may generate a logical ID for the slave gateway based on its own logical ID. The number of logical IDs generated for slave gateways is determined by the number of slave gateways authenticated on the master gateway. The logical ID of a slave gateway is used to identify the slave gateway and the master gateway that manages the slave gateway, or in other words, to indicate the subordinate relationship between the master gateway and the slave gateway.

[0091] For example, after the master gateway and the slave gateway are successfully authenticated, the master gateway can generate the logical ID of the slave gateway by adding the suffix "-xx" after its own logical ID. For example, "xx" is a decimal number, which can start from 01 and range from 01 to 99. The suffix of each slave gateway is automatically assigned by the master gateway in a unified and default order according to the authentication time with the master gateway, and manual modification is allowed. It can be understood that the logical ID of the slave gateway is generated by adding a numerical suffix to the logical ID of the master gateway. Therefore, the logical ID of the slave gateway can not only indicate the slave gateway, but also indicate the slave gateway and the master gateway that manages the slave gateway.

[0092] For example, an FTTR network includes two master gateways, Master Gateway 1 and Master Gateway 2, and five slave gateways, Slave Gateway 1, Slave Gateway 2, Slave Gateway 3, Slave Gateway 4, and Slave Gateway 5. The logical ID of Master Gateway 1 is GW-DEVI, and the logical ID of Master Gateway 2 is GW-ACD. Slave Gateways 1, 2, and 3 are connected to Master Gateway 1 and are ordered in the order of authentication time: Slave Gateway 1 - Slave Gateway 2 - Slave Gateway 3. Master Gateway 1 can generate the logical ID GW-DEVI-01 for Slave Gateway 1, GW-DEVI-02 for Slave Gateway 2, and GW-DEVI-03 for Slave Gateway 3. Similarly, Slave Gateways 4 and 5 are connected to Master Gateway 2 and are ordered in the order of authentication time: Slave Gateway 4 - Slave Gateway 5. Then, the master gateway 2 can generate a logical ID of the slave gateway 4 as GW-ACD-01, and the master gateway 2 can generate a logical ID of the slave gateway 5 as GW-ACD-02.

[0093] S405: The first gateway sends configuration information to the second gateway.

[0094] The configuration information may include: a remote management parameter configuration item and a logical ID parameter configuration item of the ACS system, and the logical ID parameter configuration item may include the second logical ID.

[0095] In some embodiments, after the master gateway generates the second logical ID, it can automatically send configuration information to the slave gateway. This configuration information can include remote management parameter configuration items of the ACS system and logical ID parameter configuration items including the second logical ID. This configuration information can be used by the slave gateway to register and authenticate with the ACS system.

[0096] In other embodiments, after the master gateway generates the second logical ID, the master gateway may send configuration information to the slave gateway after receiving an operation instruction from the administrator, wherein the operation instruction may be an instruction for instructing the slave gateway to register and authenticate on the ACS system.

[0097] The logical ID parameter configuration item may include one or more parameters from the logical ID of the gateway, a password corresponding to the logical ID, and parameters related to matching between the gateway and the ACS system.

[0098] For example, in the configuration information, the remote management parameter configuration items of the ACS system are shown in Table 1 above, and the logical ID parameter configuration items are shown in Table 2 below:

[0099] Table 2

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] As shown in Table 2, the parameters included in the logical ID parameter configuration item and the corresponding parameter information. For example, the parameter corresponding to the logical ID is UserName, and the corresponding data type is string type. This parameter is readable and writable, and is described as the logical ID. The parameter corresponding to the password of the logical ID is UserId, and the corresponding data type is string type. This parameter is readable and writable, and is described as the password of the logical ID. The relevant parameters for the matching between the gateway and the ACS system include Status, and the corresponding data type of this parameter is unsigned integer type. This parameter is readable and writable, and is described as whether the platform has successfully matched the gateway: a value of 1 indicates that the ID card does not exist; a value of 2 indicates that the broadband account does not exist; a value of 3 indicates that the ID card and the broadband account fail to match; a value of 4 indicates a match timeout; a configuration of 6 indicates that the registration has already been completed and there is no new work order to be executed; a value of 99 indicates that there is no authentication result information. Similarly, the relevant parameters for the matching between the gateway and the ACS system also include the Limit parameter, the Times parameter, and the Result parameter, which will not be repeated here.

[0103] It should be noted that the remote management configuration parameter items of the ACS system in the configuration information sent by the master gateway to the connected slave gateways are the same and consistent with the master gateway. The parameter UserName indicating the logical ID in the logical ID parameter configuration items sent by the master gateway to different slave gateways is related to the logical ID of each slave gateway. Other parameters are the same and consistent with the master gateway. For example, the parameter UserName in the logical ID parameter configuration item sent by master gateway 1 to slave gateway 1 is GW-DEVI-01, the parameter UserName in the logical ID parameter configuration item sent by master gateway 1 to slave gateway 2 is GW-DEVI-02, and the parameter UserName in the logical ID parameter configuration item sent by master gateway 1 to slave gateway 3 is GW-DEVI-03.

[0104] S406: The first gateway sends the second logical ID to the ACS system.

[0105] In some embodiments, after the master gateway generates the logical ID of the slave gateway, the master gateway can proactively report the logical ID of the slave gateway to the ACS system. The reported logical ID can be used for subsequent registration and authentication of the slave gateway on the ACS system.

[0106] It should be noted that the step of the primary gateway sending the second logical ID to the ACS system may be performed before the above-mentioned S405, or after the step S405, or simultaneously with the step S405, and this embodiment of the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0107] For example, using the example in the above embodiment, after master gateway 1 generates logical IDs for slave gateways, it sends the logical IDs of the connected slave gateways, GW-DEVI-01, GW-DEVI-02, and GW-DEVI-03, to the ACS system. Similarly, after master gateway 2 generates logical IDs for slave gateways, it sends the logical IDs of the connected slave gateways, GW-ACD-01 and GW-ACD-02, to the ACS system. This facilitates subsequent registration and authentication of the slave gateways with the ACS system.

[0108] S407: The second gateway sends a request message to the first gateway.

[0109] The request message includes configuration information, and the request information is used to request registration and authentication on the ACS system from the gateway.

[0110] In some embodiments, the slave gateway registers and authenticates on the ACS system and needs to forward a request message to the ACS system through the master gateway. Therefore, the slave gateway can be modified to connect to the master gateway in bridging mode so that the master gateway can more easily forward the slave gateway's request message.

[0111] Furthermore, after receiving the configuration information sent by the master gateway, the slave gateway may send a request message carrying the configuration information to the master gateway to request registration and authentication on the ACS system.

[0112] S408: The first gateway sends a request message to the ACS system.

[0113] In the above embodiment, the request message includes configuration information, and the remote management configuration parameter item of the ACS system in the configuration information includes the URL of the ACS system. Therefore, after receiving the request message from the slave gateway, the master gateway forwards the request message from the slave gateway to the ACS system based on the ACS system URL in the request message, so that the ACS system can receive the request message from the slave gateway.

[0114] S409: The ACS system registers and authenticates the second gateway according to the second logical ID and configuration information.

[0115] In some embodiments, after receiving the request message from the slave gateway, the ACS system extracts the configuration information in the request message and performs registration authentication on the slave gateway according to the second logical ID pre-stored in the ACS system.

[0116] It should be noted that during the registration and authentication process for the slave gateway, the ACS system can authenticate the authentication username and authentication password in the ACS system's remote management parameter configuration item in the configuration information. This remote management parameter configuration item is used to verify whether the slave gateway is qualified to remotely manage the configuration. Furthermore, the ACS system can also authenticate the logical ID and logical ID password in the logical ID parameter configuration item in the configuration information. This logical ID parameter configuration item is used to verify the slave gateway's eligibility to register and authenticate with the ACS system. This is a double-safety mechanism set up by the ACS system based on the TR069 protocol. The specific authentication process can be referred to the description in the relevant technology and will not be repeated in the embodiments of this application.

[0117] S410: The ACS system sends a response message to the first gateway.

[0118] The response message is used to indicate that the second gateway has been successfully registered and authenticated on the ACS system.

[0119] In some embodiments, after the ACS successfully authenticates the slave gateway's registration, the ACS may send a response message to the master gateway corresponding to the slave gateway, indicating that the slave gateway has successfully registered and authenticated with the ACS. The response message may also carry the slave gateway's logical ID, which the master gateway forwards to the slave gateway corresponding to the logical ID.

[0120] S411. The first gateway sends a response message to the second gateway.

[0121] In some embodiments, after receiving a response message from the ACS, the master gateway forwards the response message to the slave gateway corresponding to the logical ID carried in the response message. This allows the slave gateway to register and authenticate with the ACS, allowing the ACS to directly manage and control the slave gateway.

[0122] After the slave gateway successfully registers and authenticates with the ACS system, the ACS system can manage the FTTR network. For example, it can create a home network topology, read the configuration information of the master and slave gateways, and send the configuration information to the master and slave gateways. For example, the following steps can be executed: S412-S414.

[0123] S412: The ACS system establishes a home network topology map according to the second logical ID.

[0124] In some embodiments, the ACS system may obtain the connection relationship and the subordinate relationship between the master and slave gateways from the logical ID of the slave gateway to establish a home network topology diagram.

[0125] For example, take the slave gateway 1 to the slave gateway 5 in the above example. The ACS system obtains the logical ID of the slave gateway 1 as GW-DEVI-01, the logical ID of the slave gateway 2 as GW-DEVI-02, and the logical ID of the slave gateway 3 as GW-DEVI-03. Since the logical ID of the slave gateway is generated by adding a digital suffix to the logical ID of the master gateway, the ACS system can determine that the master gateway connected by the slave gateway 1 to the slave gateway 3 is GW-DEVI. Similarly, the ACS system obtains the logical ID of the slave gateway 4 as GW-ACD-01, and the logical ID of the slave gateway 5 as GW-ACD-02, then the ACS system can determine that the master gateway connected by the slave gateway 4 and the slave gateway 5 is GW-ACD. Based on these connection relationships and subordinate relationships obtained, the ACS system can establish a home network topology diagram, such as the established home network topology diagram can be as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the slave gateways GW-DEVI-01, GW-DEVI-02 and GW-DEVI-03 are connected to the master gateway GW-DEVI, and the slave gateways GW-ACD-01 and GW-ACD-02 are connected to the master gateway GW-ACD.

[0126] S413: The ACS system manages the first gateway.

[0127] In some embodiments, the ACS system can manage the master gateway, and the management of the master gateway includes one or more of the following: querying downstream optical interface information, managing the number of downstream devices, and querying downstream device information.

[0128] The downstream optical interface information may include the parameters shown in Table 3 below, specifically including parameters related to the downstream PON interface and parameters related to optical module status detection.

[0129] Table 3

[0130]

[0131]

[0132] As shown in Table 3, the downstream optical interface information of the main gateway can be obtained from Table 3, including the relevant information of the downstream PON interface and the optical module status detection information. For example, in the relevant information of the downstream PON interface, the parameter for enabling the connection of the downstream PON interface is Enable, and the corresponding data type is Boolean type. This parameter is readable and writable, and is described as the state of enabling the connection. True is to enable the connection, and False is to refuse the connection. The parameter of the physical connection status of the PON interface is Status, and the corresponding data type is string type. This parameter can only be read and is described as the physical connection status. Similarly, the relevant information of the downstream PON interface also includes parameters such as the interface standard used by the gateway, the maximum bandwidth that can be achieved by the upstream PON port, and the maximum bandwidth that can be achieved by the downstream PON port, which will not be repeated here.

[0133] In the optical module status detection information, the parameter corresponding to the optical module temperature is "Temperature," which is an integer data type and is read-only. It is described as a temperature in units of 1 / 256 degrees Celsius. The parameter corresponding to the optical module supply voltage is "Vcc," which is an unsigned integer data type and is read-only. It is described as the supply voltage in units of 100 microvolts. Similarly, the optical module status detection information also includes parameters such as the optical transmitter bias current, transmit power, and receive power, which are not detailed here.

[0134] The ACS system manages the master gateway and also manages the number of connected devices. The management parameters for the number of connected devices are shown in Table 4 below:

[0135] Table 4

[0136]

[0137] As shown in Table 4, the parameter for managing the number of downstream devices is NumberOfSubEdgeONT, which has a corresponding data type of UnsignedInt. This parameter can be read or configured, and describes the number of slave gateways allowed to connect. The ACS system can configure the NumberOfSubEdgeONT parameter to manage devices connected to the master gateway. To unrestrict the number of slave gateways, set the value to 0.

[0138] The ACS system's management of the master gateway also includes querying the information of the downstream devices, which may include the parameters shown in Table 5 below.

[0139] Table 5

[0140]

[0141]

[0142] As shown in Table 5, the information of the downstream device of the master gateway (i.e., the connected FTTR slave gateway) is as follows. For example, the parameter corresponding to the logical ID of the slave gateway is UserName, and the corresponding data type is a string type. This parameter can only be read and is described as the logical ID of the slave gateway. The parameter corresponding to the status of the slave gateway is Status, and the corresponding data type is a String type. This parameter can only be read and is described as the status of the slave gateway. In some examples, if the slave gateway is online, the value of the Status parameter is Online; if the slave gateway is offline, the value of the Status parameter is Offline. When the slave gateway is online or offline, the master gateway needs to actively report the status of the slave gateway to the ACS system so that the ACS system can obtain the status information of each gateway in the FTTR network in a timely manner to deal with the problem of failure of the slave gateway, so that the ACS system can maintain the FTTR network in a timely manner.

[0143] S414: The ACS system manages the second gateway.

[0144] In some embodiments, the ACS system can manage the slave gateway, and the management of the slave gateway includes one or more of the following: reading gateway parameter information, configuring parameter information, updating software version, restoring factory settings, and restarting the device.

[0145] The reading and configuration of gateway parameter information may include the parameters shown in Table 1. The software version update and device restart functions of the slave gateway are consistent with the software version update and device restart performed by the ACS system on the master gateway in the related art, and are not described in detail here.

[0146] The ACS system can also manage the slave gateway by restoring the factory settings. The configuration parameters for restoring the factory settings are shown in Table 6 below:

[0147] Table 6

[0148]

[0149] As shown in Table 6, the parameter corresponding to the factory reset mode is Mode, which has an integer data type. This parameter is both configurable and readable, and is described as factory reset mode. To restore the factory settings of a gateway, the ACS system can configure this Mode parameter. Setting the Mode value to 0 does not retain any key parameters after restoring the gateway to factory settings. Setting the Mode value to 1 retains key parameters after restoring the gateway to factory settings. For definitions of key parameters, refer to the terminal technical specifications.

[0150] The gateway can initiate a registration and authentication request to the ACS system, and the ACS system can also proactively initiate a registration and authentication request to the gateway. Therefore, this solution also provides a remote management parameter configuration item for the ACS system when the ACS system proactively initiates a registration and authentication request to the gateway, as shown in Table 7 below:

[0151] Table 7

[0152]

[0153] Table 7 provides the relevant parameters for the ACS system's proactive registration and authentication requests to the gateway. For example, the parameter corresponding to the gateway's URL is ConnectionRequestURL, which is a string with a maximum length of 256 characters. This parameter is read-only and describes the HTTP URL used by the ACS when initiating connection request notifications to the CPE. The parameter corresponding to the authentication username used by the ACS initiating registration and authentication requests to the gateway is ConnectionRequestUsername, which is a string with a maximum length of 256 characters. This parameter is both readable and writable and describes the username used during the authentication process when the ACS initiates connection requests to the CPE. The parameter corresponding to the authentication password is ConnectionRequestPassword, which is a string with a maximum length of 256 characters. This parameter is both readable and writable and describes the password used during the authentication process when the ACS initiates connection requests to the CPE. Similarly, when the ACS system proactively initiates registration and authentication requests to the gateway, the ACS system's remote management parameter configuration items also include the following parameters: UpgradesManaged, UDPConnectionRequestAddress, and UDPConnectionRequestAddressNotificationLimit, which are not detailed here.

[0154] In addition, depending on whether the Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) function is enabled on the gateway, this solution also adds parameters related to the STUN function to the remote management parameter configuration items of the ACS system, as shown in Table 8 below:

[0155] Table 8

[0156]

[0157] STUN is a network protocol that allows a client behind a Network Address Translation (NAT) to find out its public address, the type of NAT it is behind, and the Internet port to which the NAT binds a local port. This information is used to establish User Datagram Protocol (UDP) communication between two hosts behind NAT routers.

[0158] Table 8 shows the newly added STUN function-related parameters in the remote management parameter configuration items of the ACS system when the STUN function is enabled on the gateway. For example, the parameter corresponding to the IP address of the STUN server is STUNServerAddress, and the corresponding data type is a string with a maximum length of 256. This parameter is readable and writable, and is described as the IP address of the STUNServer. The parameter corresponding to the STUN username is STUNUsername, and the corresponding data type is a string with a maximum length of 256. This parameter is readable and writable, and is described as the STUN username. The parameter corresponding to the STUN password is STUNPassword, and the corresponding data type is a string with a maximum length of 256. This parameter is readable and writable, and is described as the STUN password. Similarly, other parameters related to the STUN function are not detailed here.

[0159] The technical solutions provided by the above-mentioned embodiments bring at least the following beneficial effects: This solution, through the master gateway in the FTTR network, sends configuration information to the slave gateway and assigns a logical ID to the slave gateway, allowing the slave gateway to use this configuration information and the logical ID to register and authenticate on the ACS system. This allows the ACS system to manage and control the slave gateways in the FTTR network, and thus the entire FTTR network, thus overcoming the shortcomings of the existing ACS system in managing the FTTR network and achieving unified and effective management of the FTTR network. Furthermore, the gateway registration method provided by this solution is based on the international standard TR069 protocol. FTTR equipment from different manufacturers can all use this method to register and authenticate on the ACS system, allowing operators to collaboratively manage equipment from different manufacturers and facilitating unified management of the FTTR network.

[0160] Furthermore, in this solution, the master gateway generates the logical ID of the slave gateway connected to it based on its own logical ID. This allows the slave gateway to register with the ACS system and then establish a home network topology based on the logical ID, facilitating network management and maintenance for operators. Furthermore, the ACS system can directly manage and control the slave gateways in the FTTR network, querying their operating parameters and performing operations such as software updates, factory resets, and device reboots. This ensures timely maintenance of the slave gateway's operating status, and ultimately the entire FTTR network, providing users with a better user experience.
