How to Add a DrayTek Access Point to VigorACS
Vigor Access points which support TR-069 can be added to VigorACS to allow central management and reporting. The setup is quite similar to how a router would be configured but as access points are often behind NAT, the STUN setup is required. STUN allows VigorACS server to still communicate with the device even though it is behind NAT.
This article explains how to get an Access Point configured in a LAN to connect to Vigor VigorACS server for management purposes.
After logging in to the Access Point, select this menu
[System Maintenance] -> [TR-069]
Then complete the VigorACS server details, example below. The Access Point can use HTTPS protocol for a more secure connection to VigorACS. Ensure the STUN setting is enabled and the STUN server IP address is entered. (STUN IP is the IP address of the VigorACS server). On the Vigor VigorACS Server, ensure that inbound traffic to port 3478 is permitted. If there is a firewall in front of the VigorACS Server then the firewall would need to allow port 3478 through.
In this example, the VigorACS server's IP address is 198.51.100.1
URL: https://<IP ADDRESSS>/ACSServer/services/ACSServlet
The Username and Password should be set to match the credentials which were set in VigorACS for the network the Access Point is being placed into.
An alternative to setting up each Access Point with the TR-069 settings, is to use a DrayTek Router with wireless management to set the TR-069 parameters on all Access Points within its management.
On the Vigor 2860 Controller, go to
[System Maintenance] -> [TR-069]
Enter the TR-069 parameter, and enable apply settings to APs. Please note the admin logon password for all APs must be the same for the controller to add these TR-069 parameters to the APs.
Generally, for Access Points in VigorACS, they will need to be configured with STUN settings.
The screen shot below is an example of the settings, where 198.51.100.1 is the IP address of the VigorACS server. You could also use its domain name if appropriate.
The password for each AP will need to be the same, and if the setting are made to Access Points on a default setting then the password will be "admin" . Once the unit is in ACS, you may create profiles with a more secure password and roll this out to the required Access Points. You'll notice the Vigor 2860 can also be used to set the STUN setting on Access Points, and getting the router to perform this saves considerable amount of time.
