How to Configure GDMS Server Address of Devices

Question

When the device has been upgraded to the GDMS compatible firmware version, the ACS URL is empty or other incorrect address, the device cannot be connected to the GDMS platform.

Reason Analysis:

1. The original firmware version is too old. When the device with old firmware version is out of factory, the TR-069 option is “Disabled”. Due to this reason, when the device is upgraded to the new firmware version, the option will not be enabled.
2. The ACS URL has been modified to another address in the device.

Solutions

• Solution 1: Modify the ACS URL in the device to: https://acs.gdms.cloud, and enable the TR-069 option.
• Solution 2: Configure option “Config Server Path” to: www.gdms.cloud/preset, and the device will fetch the provisioning template from the configured address.
• Solution 3: Uniformly distribute the configuration file from DHCP server (the configuration file can be downloaded from GDMS official website).
• Solution 4: The GAPS user can configure the TP-069 server address to: https://acs.gdms/cloud for the device on GAPS platform.
