Provisioning tools – TL1 and CLI

TL1 – Transaction Language number 1

• for the provisioning of the GPON transport layer

• lt equipment provisioning can also be done using CLI

• pon, ont, … up to ontenet provisioning can be done using TL1

CLI – Command Line Interface

• for provisioning the ihub

• as well as the services/facilities on iacm

 Provision PON – CLI

Configure pon interface 1/1/1/2 admin-state up

• the (downstream) laser is activated
• ONTs which are connected/powered on start ranging
• this generates an alarm

PONs are created at LT creation time

• state admin-state down

11
 Provision PON – CLI

Configure pon interface 1/1/1/2

• Label -> name of the PON, string with length <= 80
• Ber-calc-period -> BER measurement period (unit 1/10 sec)
• Polling-period -> polling period for ONTs (unit 1/10 sec)
• Sig-degrade-th -> signal degraded threshold [4…10]
• Sig-fail-th -> signal failed threshold [3…8]
• Fec-dn -> Forward Error Detection for downstream (enable/disable)
• Raman-reduct -> Raman Reduction (enable/disable)
• Closest-ont -> distance of closest ONT [0 … 40km]

if the ONT fails to

boot with what is
in the active bank
it will use the
passive bank

RAM

planned software what you intend to run in RAM

active sw what is actually running in RAM
passive sw what is in the passive bank

if the active software is different from the planned, the P-OLT

tries to download the planned software to the passive bank
17
ONT software banks

Active and Passive banks can only be accessed via OMCI

• ONT must be in the “unlocked” state

If Active and Planned SW are misaligned, a minor alarm is generated

(CFG : SW Version mismatch)
• ONT will not be operational as long as this alarm is active

• Copy/Paste Active SW into Planned SW field to get rid of the alarm.

18
ONT SW related alarms

SWDLFAIL
m • SW Download Failed
o Something went wrong with the download process

SWACTFAIL
M • SW Activation Failed
o Downloaded SW could not be activated on the ONT

SWDLFILE

m • File missing or file error

o The SW file string mentioned in the SWVERPLND doesn’t exist on the P-OLT

SWDLIP (not really an alarm)

m • SW Download In Progress
o SW is being downloaded from P-OLT towards the ONT over the OMCI channel

SW Perspective

Download software to ISAM

Options when using scenario 2

20
 Necessary steps and scenario’s

1. FTP ONT software files to AMS server

2. Prepare ONT software files (per ONT type) on AMS server
3. Download ONT software onto NE

possible scenarios:

1. Manual sw management (basic or pre-provisioning)

2. Automatic sw management based on AMS
3. Automatic sw management based on NE

21
Step 1 : Copy ONT software from CD to AMS

Prerequisite step
• ONT software files must be present on AMS

• directory:
o /var/opt/ams/shared/ams-<version>/ne/software/ONT

FTP

AMS

22
 Step 2 : ONT Software file preparation : overview

HW version: one ONT Type can have multiple hardware implementations

23
Step 2 : ONT Software file preparation : List of Hardware Info (OPTIONAL)

Allows to add a new type

of Hardware

24
Step 2 : ONT Software file preparation : Add ONT Load

First select the correct ONT Type

from the hardware list
ONT File Name: ONT software
version residing on AMS server
Major NE SW Version: used for
automatic sw management (see
later)
Load Type: using VoIP or not?

25
Step 3 : Download ONT software to NE

o select NE(s)
o select ONT type
o select SW load
26
Step 3 : Which ONT software to use?

ONT software must be available on the NE before it can be downloaded

onto the ONT!

when you plan the SW for the ONT,

you have to add a “3’’ to the name
