Introducing Vantage Access
This chapter introduces Vantage Access and its key features. Refer to the Quick Start Guide
for setup requirements, installation, and access.
1.1 Overview
Vantage Access is a web-based management tool that allows you to remotely management,
control and monitor devices which support the TR-069, TR-098, TR-104, TR-106, TR-111
and TR-135 protocols (from ZyXEL or other vendors). The following figure shows a typical
network example.
Figure 1 Vantage Access Application Example
In this example, you use a computer (A) to log into the web configurator on the Vantage
Access server (B), also known as the Auto-Configuration Server (ACS). You also need to
configure the devices (C) to update their status to the Vantage Access server. Once the Vantage
Access server collects this information, you can
• monitor device status.
• examine device and system logs or events.
• manage multiple devices at a time (for example, remote firmware upgrade, configuration
changes, etc).
• set the Vantage Access server to perform scheduled firmware upgrades on the managed
device(s).
