 Versions earlier than iM anager U2000 V200R014C60 do not support smart ONTs, such as
HS8245W. To manage smart ONTs through the NM S, you must upgrade the NM S to iM anager
U2000 V200R014C60 or later.
1.3 Precautions
 The upgrade by using the CLI of the OLT or NMS will fail if the connected optical link
is interrupted when data is being issued. After the fault is rectified, wait at least 2
minutes before performing the upgrade again.

Echo Life ONT
 The ONT in the loading state cannot be deleted by OLT, NMS or NetOpen software.
 If the ONT is powered off during the upgrade, the upgrade can still be performed after
the ONT resets. This will not cause any damage to the ONT system.
The ONT is designed with active and standby systems. Power outage during the upgrade causes damage
only to the standby system. Therefore, the ONT still functions normally after it resets.
 The version of the OLT used for the ONT upgrade must support the ONT version.
Otherwise, related boards on the OLT may be reset, or the ONT may fail to be upgraded
or may be faulty.
 ONTs V100 and V200 in the live network cannot be upgraded to V300R019C00.
 ONTs V100、V200、V300(inc luding V300R019C00) in the live network cannot be
upgraded to V500R019C00.
 The ONT V300R019C00 uses a new encryption algorithm that affects version
downgrade:
− If the source version is V300R019C00, the version cannot be downgraded to a
version earlier than V300R016C00SPC007.
− If a version is upgraded from a version earlier than V300R016C00 toV300R019C00,
and the web page, CLI, or FTP password is changed after the upgrade, the new
version cannot be downgraded to a version earlier than V300R016C00SPC007. If
the web page, CLI, or FTP password is not changed, the new version can still be
downgraded.
− Rxxx in target VxxxRxxxCxxSPCxxx cannot be earlier than the original R version.
Otherwise, the ONT may fail to be upgraded or may be faulty.
 This Upgrade Guide describes how to use the ONT upgrade tool package.
− The ONT upgrade tool package is an incremental software package developed
based on officially released software. It integrates customers' customization
requirements and is released in specific areas.
− The ONT upgrade tool package is named in the format of ONT
V100R001C00SPCxxx. It is a compressed file and needs to be decompressed first.
− The ONT upgrade tool package consists of the warehouse upgrade tool package and
live-network upgrade tool package. The warehouse upgrade tool package can only
be used to upgrade ONTs in customer warehouses. It cannot be used to upgrade
ONTs on the live network. Otherwise, the configurations of ONTs on the live
network will be lost and services will be interrupted. The live-network upgrade tool
package can be used to upgrade ONTs in warehouses or directly upgrade ONTs on
the live network. Before an upgrade tool package is used, its type must be
distinguished. For details, see the Release Notes of the upgrade tool package.
1.4 Impact of the Upgrade

Impact on the System During the Upgrade
Impact on Services
All services on an ONT will be interrupted when the system restarts after the ONT is
upgraded. The service interruption lasts about 2 minutes.
Impact on Network Communication

Echo Life ONT
Communication between the ONT and the OLT will be interrupted when the system restarts
after the ONT is upgraded. The communication interruption lasts about 2 minutes.

batches.
Remote Upgrade by Using the NMS

In this upgrade mode, the operator uploads the ONT upgrade package file to the NMS. Then,
in the NMS GUI, the operator upgrades the target ONTs which are connected to the OLT and
are managed by the NMS concurrently. The operator can also specify an automatic upgrade
policy for the ONTs. Multiple ONTs can be remotely upgraded by using the NMS
simultaneous ly.
The OLT V800R006C02 supports the batch upgrades of ONTs which are connected to the
same PON port. Other OLT versions support the batch upgrades of ONTs which are connected
to different PON ports.

Echo Life ONT
Upgrade by Using the OLT

In this upgrade mode, the operator uploads the ONT upgrade package file to the OLT, and
runs commands on the CLI of the OLT to concurrently upgrade the selected ONTs which are
connected to this OLT. This mode enables multiple ONTs to be upgraded simultaneously.
However, this mode applies only to the ONTs which are connected to the same PON port of
the OLT.
Local Manual Upgrade

This mode enables an ONT to be upgraded locally on the web page.
In this upgrade mode, the operator logs in to the ONT web page through the Ethernet port,
and loads the BIN file to upgrade the ONT. After the upgrade, the operator restarts the ONT to
make the upgrade to take effect. In this mode, the operator can upgrade only one ONT at a
time.
Remote Upgrade by Using the NetOpen

In this mode, the operator uploads the to-be-upgraded ONT or AP versions to the NetOpen,
and then upgrade the ONTs or APs managed by the NetOpen through GUI.

About This Chapter

The software package of the gateway ONT V300R019C00&V500R019C00 exceeds 16 MB.
Some ONTs or OLTs, however, require that the size of the loaded files cannot exceed 16 MB;
otherwise, the ONTs cannot be upgraded using the OLT or U2000. Therefore, check the ONT
version and make preparations before the upgrade accordingly. The software package of the
non-gateway ONT V300R019C00 is smaller than 16 MB. In this case, no upgrade
preparations are required and this chapter can be skipped.
To upgrade a gateway ONT V300R012C00 by using the OLT or U2000, you must first
upgrade the ONT to V300R013C10SPC118 or later (the file size must be smaller than 16
MB).
2.1 Preferred Upgrade Solution

When the relationship between the OLT version and the service board is "Supported" as listed
in Table 2-1, you can perform an upgrade using the U2000 or OLT. For details on the upgrade
procedure, see "Remote Upgrade by Using the U2000" or "Upgrade by Using the OLT."

 If an ongoing voice service or XML loading task lasts for longer than 4 hours,
the ONT will restart after 4 hours.
− When Forced is selected for Reboot Type, the ONT will immediately restart after
the upgrade, regardless of whether the ONT has any ongoing voice service or XML
loading task.
For an upgrade where ONT V300R013C10SPC118 or later serves as an intermediate version, you need
to specify the ONT source version range.
− After specifying the version range, click Next. Specify ONT V300R013C10SPC118
or later as the intermediate version. Other operations and related steps are the same
as those described above.

5. Click OK after the configuration is complete.

Step 3 An automatic upgrade does not always start immediately after an automatic upgrade policy is
configured. Two conditions are involved:
1. For the offline ONTs that meet the automatic upgrade policy, the upgrade starts
immediately after the policy is configured.
2. For the online ONTs that meet the automatic upgrade policy, the upgrade starts
approximately 30 minutes after the policy is configured.
After the automatic upgrade policy is issued, the U2000 goes through a polling process. If the ONTs are
always online, the polling duration determines the time when the ONTs start to upgrade. The polling
duration can be configured on the server, but such an operation is not recommended.

time span, for example, 11:00–11:01, the scheduled upgrade policy fails to take
effect.
2. Click OK after the configuration is complete.
Step 4 Use the U2000 to query scheduled upgrade tasks every 10 minutes. If there is a scheduled
upgrade task, the U2000 also checks whether the upgrade time arrives. If the time arrives, the
U2000 starts the ONT upgrade. The upgrade is complete after the ONT restarts.

Remote Upgrade Gu ide (by Using the U2000) A Appendix
When the upgrade fails, do not reset the ONT. Instead, upgrade the ONT again according to
the following the upgrade procedure and ensure that the upgrade package file is correct. If the
problem persists, use a new upgrade package file to upgrade the ONT.
FAQ
1. Is the mini system still configured for the ONT?

No. The ONTs of V300R013 and later versions use the active/standby systems. During
an upgrade, the standby system is upgraded to the target version. After the upgrade, the
ONT starts from the standby system.
2. Is data synchronized between active/standby systems?
Yes. The version information of the active system is synchronized to the standby system
30 minutes after the ONT is upgraded. This ensures that the active and standby systems
have consistent version information.
3. How to obtain the ONT package splitting tool?
Vis it http://support.huawei.com, and choose Tools > Mini-tool > Software > Access
Network Product Line > Optical Access TOOLS > ONT to obtain the ONT package
splitting tool.
4. What are the key points during an upgrade?
a. During an upgrade by using the U2000, the completion percentages on the U2000
are explained as follows.

b. After the upgrade, the ONT restarts and the message "Wait for the ONT to report
the upgrade result" is displayed on the U2000.
c. After the ONT restarts and is re-connected to the network, it reports its new version
to the OLT. The OLT transparently transmits the version to the U2000. After the
U2000 receives the version, it compares the received version with the target version
in the upgrade task. If the versions are consistent, the upgrade is successful. If they
are inconsistent, the upgrade fails.
