Onboarding overview
This section takes you from zero to your first CPE online in Cpehub: understand the architecture, prepare your network, and complete the initial deployment, in the right order. If you've just signed up for the platform, follow the steps below in sequence.
The deployment journey
Follow the trail below, in order. Each step is detailed in the table right after.
Each step has its own detailed section in this wiki:
| Step | What you do | Where to learn |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Communication | Set up a VPN tunnel between your network and Cpehub, so the system can reach your OLTs. | Communication (VPN) |
| 2. Register OLT | Register each OLT (IP, SSH/Telnet and SNMP access) and test the connection. | Registering an OLT |
| 3. Integrate ERP | Connect Cpehub to your ERP (IXC, SGP, or Hubsoft) to bring in customer data. | Integrations |
| 4. Configure ACS | Get CPEs to connect to Cpehub's ACS (TR-069) server. | Configure TR-069 |
| 5. Activate CPEs | Authorize the first devices showing "Awaiting activation". | Activating a CPE |
Before you start
Use the Deployment checklist to gather everything you'll need (public IP, networks, OLT credentials, ERP token) before diving in. If you're new to optical networks and the terms used here (CPE, ONU, OLT, PON, LOS…), it's worth starting with the Glossary.
