TR-069
This DSL Forum Technical Report defines an application layer protocol which is used for remote configuration of terminal devices, such as DSL modems, HNBs and STBs. Essentially, the standard came about due to the growing complexity of CPE devices, effectively preventing typical users from correctly configuring them. As such, TR-069 provides an auto configuration mechanism between the CPE and a remote node in the service provider network termed the Auto Configuration Server.
