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

PON functions
• transport traffic
- GEM encapsulated BER

- ethernet frames
signal failed

Provision PON – AMS

• PON is automatically created when you create

the board
- you can only modify it
• select node (NE)  rack  subrack  slot 
pon port  unlock
- save

COPYRIGHT © 2013 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
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
minor alarm occurred for pon 1/1/1/2 : SERNUM = ALCLF9A0F50D, SLID = 12345

• PONs are created at LT creation time

- state  admin-state down

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]

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)

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

• SWDLFILE

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

• SWDLIP (not really an alarm)

18
COPYRIGHT © 2013 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
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

19

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?

23

Step 3 : Download ONT software to NE

- select NE(s)
- select ONT type
- select SW load 24

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

26
COPYRIGHT © 2013 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Provisioning ONTs
ONTs can be provisioned
- while already physically connected to the PON:

 Post-provisioning

- while not physically connected to the PON at all:

 Pre-provisioning
27

Provisioning ONTs (cont.)
• serial number based ONT not
connected?
- identify the ONT by its serial number

ALCLA0A28965 ALARM

TEACHER

• Subscriber Location ID (SLID) based

- identify the ONT by its subscriber location id
- SLID  up to 10 characters long NO ALARM

- SLID is configured beforehand in the ONT

COPYRIGHT © 2013 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Pre-Provisioning on ONT – SLID based
no alarm, even when the ONT is disconnected from the PON

once the ONT is connected to the PON TEACHER

- the P-OLT records the SLID and the serial number
- automatic status change: to unlocked (in service)
this allows you to do pre-provisioning
- of the ONTCARD, services, … without the system generating any alarms!
