1.6 Product Security
eA280 security includes network security and application security. Application security
includes wireless security and OM security.
1.6.1 Network Security
eA280 network security uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol
Secure (HTTPS).
SSL
The SSL protocol is a security connection technology for the server and client. It provides a
confidential, trusted, and identity-authenticating connection to two application layers. SSL is
regarded as a standard security measure and has been widely applied to web services.

Identity authentication
Identity authentication checks whether a communication individual is the expected
object. SSL authenticates servers and clients based on digital certificates and
user/password. Clients and servers have their own identifiers. The identifiers are
numbered by the public key. To verify that a user is legitimate, SSL requires digital
authentication during data exchange in the SSL handshake procedure.

Connection confidentiality
Data is encrypted before transmission to prevent data from being hacked by malicious
users. SSL uses encryption algorithms to ensure the connection confidentiality.

Data integrity
Any tampering on data during transmission can be detected. SSL establishes a secure
channel between the client and the server so that all the SSL data can reach the
destination intact.
HTTPS
For the eA280, the OM TCP applications can use SSL. HTTP over SSL is generally called
HTTPS. HTTPS is used for connections between the NMS/WebUI and eA280. SSL also uses
the digital certificate mechanism.
HTTPS provides secure HTTP channels. HTTPS is HTTP to which SSL is added, and SSL
ensures the security of HTTPS.

1 Overview
1.6.2 Application Security
eA280 application security includes wireless security and OM security.
Wireless Security
eA280 wireless security includes authentication, air-interface data encryption, and integrity
protection.
OM Security
OM security includes user authentication, access control, OM system security, and software
digital signature.
User Authentication and Access Control
User authentication and access control are implemented for users to be served by the eA280.
The objective of authentication is to identify users and grant the users with proper permission.
The objective of access control is to specify and restrict the operations to be performed and
the resources to be accessed by the users.
OM System Security
OM system security includes software integrity check.
In the original procedure for releasing and using the software, the software integrity is ensured
by using cyclic redundancy check (CRC). CRC can only prevent data loss during
transmissions. If data is tampered with during transmissions, a forged CRC value will be
regarded as valid by the CRC. Therefore, the receive end cannot rely on the CRC to ensure
the consistency between the received data and the original data, adversely affecting the
reliability and security for the software.
Software integrity protection implements the Hash algorithm or adds a digital signature to
software (including mediation layers and configuration files) when releasing software, and
then uploads software to the target server or device. When a target device downloads, loads,
or runs software, the target device performs the Hash check or authenticates the digital
signature. By doing so, software integrity protection ensures end-to-end software reliability
and integrity.
Software integrity protection helps detect viruses or malicious tampering in a timely manner,
preventing insecure or virus-infected software from running on the device.
Digital Signature of Software
A digital signature of software is used to identify the software source. It ensures the integrity
and reliability of software.
When software is released, its digital signature is delivered with the software package. After
the software package is downloaded to an NE, the NE verifies the digital signature of the
software package before using it. If the digital signature passes the verification, the software
is intact and reliable. If the verification fails, the software package is invalid and cannot be
used. Figure 1-3 illustrates the principles of a software digital signature.

1 Overview
Figure 1-3 Digital signature of software

Before a software package is released, all files in the software package are signed with
digital signatures. That is, after a message digest is calculated for all files in the software
package, the message digest is digitally signed using a private key.

After a software package with a digital signature is loaded to an NE through a media
such as the software release platform, the NE first verifies the digital signature of the
software package. That is, the NE uses a public key to decrypt the digital signature and
obtain the original message digest. Then, the NE recalculates the message digest and
compares the new message digest with the original one.
−
If the two message digests are the same, the software package passes the
verification and can be used.
−
If the two message digests are different, the software package fails the verification
and cannot be used.
The public key used to decrypt digital signatures is stored in the secure storage area of an NE
and cannot be queried or exported.
1.7 Device Ports
1.7.1 Web Port
You can log in to the LTE CPE WebUI over HTTPS to manage the LTE CPE, including
configuring and querying settings, exporting running logs, querying device logs, importing
and exporting the configuration, restarting and updating the LTE CPE, and restoring the LTE
CPE to its default settings. For details, see the WebUI online help.



You can change the login password on the WebUI.

Internet Explorer 9.0 and a later version is recommended, because Internet Explorer 6.0 uses the
SSL 3.0 protocol that contains vulnerabilities.
To improve security, change the default password at your first login and regularly change the password.
It is recommended that users do not set an empty password or a simple password.

A password must meet the following rules:
A password consists of 8 to 15 characters.
A password contains at least two types of characters of the following:
−
Lowercase letter
−
Uppercase letter
−
Digit
− Special characters, including the space character and the following: ! # $ ( )
*-./=@[]^_`{}~|
A password cannot be the user name or the reverse order of the user name.
A password cannot contain more than two consecutive characters that are the same
(for example, 111 is not allowed.)

By default, the function to remotely log in to the CPE WebUI over HTTPS is disabled.
The remote WebUI functions the same as the local WebUI.

The maximum number of WebUI login attempts is three. After three login failures, the
WebUI login page is locked and will be unlocked after one minutes. The lockingduration
is incremented by one minute each time the WebUI login page is locked later.

When the WebUI login password is forgotten, contact the device agent or maintenance
center to restore factory defaults; refer to the AT command manual to restore factory
defaults by yourself; or contact the device operator to reset the password through
TR-069.

The WebUI supports remote (LTE wireless link) and local (Ethernet interface or Wi-Fi
link) login. Please configure ACL rights based on scenarios to control remote and local
WebUI login. Opening unnecessary login interfaces may increase network attack risks or
lead to unauthorized login. You can use the ACL service to enable or disable remote or
local WebUI login. For details, see the section "Service Control List" in the online help
of the device WebUI.

If you do not perform any operation within 5 minutes after logging in to the WebUI, the
system automatically logs you out.

You are advised to change the password timely after first login and regularly change the
password to improve network security.

Personnel in the central office may remotely log in to the LTE CPE WebUI for CPE
management and upgrade using HTTPS.

CPEs support HTTPS and are compatible with HTTP. HTTP is not a relatively secure
protocol.

1 Overview

It is recommended that you change the password for connections between the LTE CPE and central
office TR-069 management equipment at regular intervals. It is recommended that users do not set
an empty password or a simple password.

Ensure that the settings for the LTE CPE and central office TR-069 management equipment are the
same. Otherwise, the LTE CPE cannot be managed by the central office TR-069 management
equipment.

MD5 digest authentication is used for connections between the LTE CPE and central
office TR-069 management equipment, and the authentication complies with TR-069
Amendment 4.

When TR-069 network management is enabled, each registration of the LTE CPE will
generate about 70 KB of data traffic, each periodic reporting will generate about 20 KB
of data traffic, and the data traffic generated by each update depends on the update
package size. An update package is generally smaller than 100 MB, and updates are
triggered by the central office management equipment.

When TR-069 network management is enabled, the LTE CPE regularly connects to the
central office management equipment, and the connection cycle complies with TR-069
Amendment 4.

The CPE supports the reporting of the following alarms:
−
High temperature alarm
−
Low temperature alarm
−
Weak signal alarm
−
Lower device disconnection alarm
−
Local login alarm
−
Lower devices have more than 32 alarms.
−
LAN uplink exception alarm

Digest authentication prevents the account and password used for connections between
the LTE CPE and central office TR-069 management equipment from being cracked. The
number of attempts is five. After five attempt failures, wait five minutes and receive new
connection authentication requests.

The central office TR-069 management equipment will use the SN as the unique
identifier for device management.

Change the default password at your first login. To improve security, regularly change
the password after negotiation with NMS engineers.
1.7.4 Voice Interface
The product provides the optional Voice over IP (VoIP) function that complies with the
RFC2617 protocol. The communication between the SIP client and SIP server is authenticated
using MD5 digest.

4.6 TR-069 Setting
TR-069 is a standard for communication between CPEs and the auto-configuration server
(ACS). If your service provider uses the TR-069 automatic service provision function, the
ACS automatically provides the CPE parameters. If you set the ACS parameters on both the
CPE and ACS, the network parameters on the CPE are automatically set using the TR-069
function, and you do not need to set other parameters on the CPE.
If you want to retain TR-069 settings after restoring factory settings, you can set the Preserve
Settings to Enable.
In some cases, remote upgrade will be required for service update by ACS. No services are
available in upgrade process.
TR069 based CPE upgrades, which are performed by network operators, cannot be
canceled by CPE users.
General info: ACS in carrier network will use serial number (SN) of the device as a unique
identity for management and maintenance (including upgrade) operations. By TR069 protocol,
the carrier can add, delete, and modify the device configurations for management and
maintenance (including upgrade) only.
The TR069 function allows network operators to obtain operation logs, system logs,
and configuration files, and cannot be canceled by CPE users or inform users.
To configure the CPE to implement the TR-069 function, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Choose System > TR-069 Settings.
Step 2 To enable the CPE to send informing packets to the ACS at predefined intervals, set Periodic
inform to Enable.
Step 3 If you set Periodic inform to Enable, set Periodic inform interval.
Step 4 In the ACS URL box, enter the ACS URL address.
If you want to disable the ACS function, set ACS URL to the loopback address
127.0.0.1.
Step 5 Enter ACS user name and ACS password for CPE authentication.
To use the CPE to access the ACS, you must provide a user name and password for
authentication. The user name and the password must be the same as those defined
on the ACS.
Step 6 Enter Connection request user name and Connection request password for ACS
authentication.
To use the ACS to access the CPE, you must provide a user name and password for
authentication. The user name and the password must be the same as those defined

on the ACS.
Step 7 When Enable Certificate is enabled, you can import the certificate for authentication.
This interface is extensible to replace certificates for authentication between ACS
and CPE. To make authentication run right, the certificates in ACS and CPE must
match each other. By default, there is not a pair of certificates in ACS and CPE.
Contact device provider for certificates if you want to use them.
Step 8 Click Submit.
NOTE
TR069 operators can change CPE passwords and upgrade CPEs without CPE users' knowledge through
the eSight. To prohibit such upgrade behavior, stop the TR069 function on the device's WebUI.
