ACS Operational Launch Checklist
Overview
This checklist ensures a successful ACS operational launch for CONTROL. Complete each step in sequence before deploying devices to end-customers.
Prerequisites Checklist
1. Device Testing and Integration
All devices must be tested and integrated in the development platform before proceeding to production.
Development Platform: control-dev.zequenze.com
Ensure all device profiles are validated and functioning correctly in this environment.
2. DNS Configuration
Configure your own FQDN pointing to Zequenze's production environment. This allows your devices to use a domain under your management.
Typical DNS Configuration:
acs.myMVNO.com CNAME control.zequenze.com.
Replace myMVNO.com with your actual domain name.
3. TR-069 Credentials Configuration
All devices (modems) must have TR-069 credentials properly configured with the following parameters:
-
URL:
https://acs.myMVNO.com/cwmp - Username: To be agreed (typically the same as used in the development platform)
- Password: To be agreed (typically the same as used in the development platform)
Important: These TR-069 settings must be configured by default in the device's firmware/software. This ensures that devices continue reporting to the ACS platform even after a factory reset.
Production Validation Testing
Before deploying to end-customers, perform the following validation tests on the production environment. This step requires completion of steps 1-3 above.
Required Validation Tests
- Configure test modem — Ensure the modem has Internet access and can reach the ACS
- Validate onboarding — Verify proper device onboarding and visualization through both WebGUI and REST API
- Validate operations — Test configuration changes and operational commands (Reboot, Factory Reset)
- Validate use cases — Test any additional validations or specific use cases required for your deployment
All tests must complete successfully before proceeding to deployment.
Deployment Authorization
Once all validation tests are successful, you are authorized to begin deploying devices to end-customers.
Final Verification:
- ✓ All devices validated in development platform
- ✓ FQDN created and DNS configured
- ✓ Modems configured with correct TR-069 credentials
- ✓ Production validation tests completed successfully
