HS8245W. To manage smart ONTs through the NMS, you must upgrade the NMS to iManager
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.
 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, V200 and V300 in the live network cannot be upgraded to V500R021C00.
 The ONT V500R021C00 uses a new encryption algorithm that affects version
downgrade:
− 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
V100R002C00SPCxxx. 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.

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
simultaneously.

ONT
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.
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 NCE

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

ONT
Upgrade Guide (by Using the OLT) 2 Preparation for the Upgrade
2 Preparation for the Upgrade
About This Chapter

The software package of the gateway ONT V500R021C00 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 V500R021C00 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).
Upgrade Instructions
 According to the matching OLT version, service board, and network management
version, select the appropriate upgrade plan.
 When the gateway ONT of V300R012C00 version is upgraded by OLT and U2000, it
must be upgraded to ONTV300R013C10SPC118 and later versions (the file size of this
version must be less than 16MB).
 When the gateway ONTs of the V300R012C00 and V300R013C00 versions are
upgraded through the network management independent subcontracting tool, they must
first be upgraded to ONTV300R013C10SPC118 and later versions (the file size of this
version must be less than 16MB).
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."

ONT
Upgrade Guide (by Using the OLT) 3 Upgrade by Using the OLT
3 Upgrade by Using the OLT
3.1 Upgrade Process and Estimated Time

This chapter describes the process of upgrading one or more ONTs by using the OLT and
describes the time required for the upgrade.
If an OLT service board is of the EPBA or GPBC model, only a bin package smaller than 18
MB can be used for CLI upgrade.

ONT
Upgrade Flowchart
Estimated Time
 Due to the restricted CPU capability of a PON board, more ONTs require a longer
loading duration. There is no positive correlation between the number of ONTs and the
loading duration.
 The actual upgrade time varies with the FTP network transmission time, NMS waiting or
polling due to trap loss, load of the OLT boards, and the ONT CPU usage.
3.2 Preparing for the Upgrade

 Install the TFTP tool on a local PC.
 Prepare files for the upgrade.
Table 3-1 Files required for the upgrade
No. File Description File Name

1 ONT upgrade package file (containing ONTV500R021C00SPCxxx_common

ONT
No. File Description File Name

uboot, kernel, and rootfs) _all.bin
 Verify digital signature.

To prevent a software package from being maliciously tampered with during
transmission or storage, download the corresponding digital signature file for integrity
verification when downloading the software package.
After the software package is downloaded, verify its PGP digital signature according to
the OpenPGP Signature Verification Guide. If the software package fails the verification,
do not use the software package, and contact Huawei technical support engineers.
Before a software package is used in installation or upgrade, its digital signature also
needs to be verified according to the OpenPGP Signature Verification Guide to ensure
that the software package is not tampered with.
Visit either of the following websites to obtain the OpenPGP Signature Verification
Guide:
− Carrier customers: https://support.huawei.com/carrier/digitalSignatureAction
− Enterprise customers:
https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/tool/pgp-verify-TL1000000054
Procedure
Step 1 Ensure that the upgrade package file for the ONT upgrade is available on a local PC, as listed
in Table 3-1.
Step 2 Use the TFTP tool on the local PC to set the upgrade directory.
 Current Directory: Click Browse and select the directory where the upgrade package
file is saved on the local PC.
 Server interface: Select the IP address of the network interface card (NIC) from the
drop-down list. Ensure that the OLT can be pinged from this IP address.

ONT
Upgrade Guide (by Using the OLT) 5 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?
Visit 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.

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.
