Overview About ONT Registration
The following sections provide information about ONT registration.
About ONT Registration
An OLT supports two types of registration mode—automatic registration and manual registration.
ONT Manual Registration Configuration
You can manually register an ONT by defining an authentication registration rule and specifying the service template for configuring the ONT. The manual registration also requires the ONT authentication mode, the ONT authentication parameter, the ONT service template binding, and the ONT discovery mode to be configured.
ONT Automatic Registration Configuration
You can automate the ONT registration to reduce the workload of manual configuration. Automatic registration requires configuration of auto-configuration templates that are referenced based on the ONT type. Each type of ONT can be further configured to reference a separate line template.
After automatic configuration of an ONT is enabled, the OLT automatically generates a rule template based on the serial number authentication mode (the line template specified in the automatic configuration template of the rule entry). The ONT can be automatically registered online. The OLT sends the corresponding line template to the ONT to complete the automatic configuration process.
On enabling the automatic configuration on the ONT, the OLT automatically generates a rule template based on the serial number authentication mode.
![]() Note |
Serial number authentication mode is defined in the line template that is part of the automatic configuration template of the rule entry. |
The OLT sends the corresponding line template to the ONT to complete the automatic configuration process. The ONT is then automatically registered online.
Types of ONT Registration
This section describes the various function configurations related to the ONT registration. It mainly includes how to let the OLT discover the ONTs connected to the PON port. We recommend that you configure the correct authentication mode.

About ONT Auto Discovery
ONT auto discovery enables the OLT to detect newly added ONTs under a designated PON port automatically. If auto discovery is enabled on a PON port of the OLT, and an unregistered ONT is added to the PON port, the ONT information is compared with the service profile line template configured by the OLT. If the ONT information matches the requirements of the service profile line template, then the ONT is registered, and the ONT information is deleted from the discovery list.
About ONT Silent
An ONT can be configured to be in silent state if the ONT fails authentication, or after the authentication, if the ONT is offline for a long time.
About the ONT Register-Record Threshold Alarm
You can limit the number of ONTs that can be registered on the PON port by setting a threshold value. If the number of ONTs on the PON port exceeds the threshold value, an alarm is generated. The alarm is cancelled once the number of ONTs is less than the threshold value.
