Chapter 12 Configuring CWMP Service
Connection Request Service
When RDU receives the connection request message, it sends the message to the CMHS server that is
configured in the BAC properties hierarchy. The CMHS NB API client contacts the CMHS server that
the DLC is most likely be connected to.
Step 1 Choose Devices > Manage Devices.
Step 2 Use one of these methods:
• Add a device record. To do this:
Click Add. The Add Device page appears.
• Search for a device record. To do this:
a. Specify a Search Type and enter values for the screen components that are unique to the search type
that you select.
A list of devices appears.
b. Click the Identifier link corresponding to the desired device.
The Modify Device page appears.
Step 3 From the Property Name drop-down list, select the /IPDevice/connectionRequestMethod property, and
select Use CMHS from the Property Value drop-down list.
Step 4 Click Add.
Step 5 Create a group type called CMHS. See Adding a Group Type, page 16-19 for details on how to add a
new group type.
Step 6 Add a group with type CMHS for each CMHS server which needs to be considered to send CMHS
connection request. See Adding a New Group, page 16-20 for details on how to add a new group.
Step 7 Configure the following properties with CMHS server details, host, http port, user name and password,
in the BAC properties hierarchy at group level.
• /IPDevice/cr/cmhsNbApiAddress
• /IPDevice/cr/cmhsNbApiPort
• /IPDevice/cr/cmhsNbApiUsername
• /IPDevice/cr/cmhsNbApiPassword
Note CMHS groups must not be used for any other purpose other than configuring CMHS server
details for CMHS connection requests.
If you do not specify any values for the properties
/IPDevice/cr/cmhsNbApiUsername and
/IPDevice/cr/cmhsNbApiPassword, the default values are taken from cmhs.properties file available in
the BAC_HOME/rdu/conf/ folder. For the property
/IPDevice/cr/cmhsNbApiPort, the default value is
80.
Note You can use the API IPDevice.changeNodeProperties(), if want to change any of the BAC
properties for the CMHS group.
Step 8 Configure CMHS Server List Property, /IPDevice/cr/cmhsServerListPropertyName with a
deployment specific Custom Property name. It needs to be set on BAC property hierarchy using BAC
NB API or UI.
