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 and V200 in the live network cannot be upgraded to
V300R018C00.
 The ONT V300R018C00 uses a new encryption algorithm that affects
version downgrade:
− If the source version is V300R018C00, the version cannot be
downgraded to a version earlier than V300R016C00SPC007.
− If a version is upgraded from a version earlier than V300R016C00 to
V300R018C00, 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

Co., Ltd.
EchoLife ONT
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
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.
Impact on the System After the Upgrade

EchoLife ONT
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.
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 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.

2 Preparation for the Upgrade
About This Chapter

The software package of the gateway ONT V300R018C00 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
V300R018C00 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."

4. In the ONT Range dialogue box, click User-defined. The Select

Device dialogue box is displayed. In this dialogue box, configure the
advanced parameters of the automatic upgrade policy.
In the Select Device dialogue box, select the NE to be checked and

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.

− Scheduled Upgrade Time Segment: Select this item and enter
the time segment. The time segment for a scheduled upgrade must
cover a certain time span, for example, 11:00–12:00, which lasts for
an hour. If the time segment covers a short 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.

How to handle an upgrade failure?

Co., Ltd.
EchoLife ONT
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.

b. After the upgrade, the ONT restarts and the message "Wait for the

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.
