Traditional ONUs require manual configuration (LOID, VLAN, SN, etc.). However, "plug-and-play" ONUs don’t mean zero configuration but rather pre-configuration + automation to minimize on-site work. Below are the technical details and business value.
What Truly Defines a Plug-and-Play ONU?
Comparison with Traditional ONUs:
| Feature | Traditional ONU | Plug-and-play ONU |
| Configuration | Manual input by technicians | Pre-configured, auto-registers |
OLT Compatibilit | Vendor-specific | Multi-vendor support (standardized protocols) |
Deployment Time | ~30 mins/unit | <5 mins/unit |
Failure Rate | Higher (human errors) | Lower (automated error-proofing) |
Four Key Technologies Enabling Plug-and-Play
1. Factory Pre-Loaded Settings
-LOID/Password: Pre-burned to match ISP databases.
-VLAN/Priority: Pre-set per network specs (e.g., IPTV-VLAN 200).
-SN Code: Synced with ISP IT systems.
2. TR-069/OMCI Remote Management
-Auto-configuration via ACS (Auto-Configuration Server).
-Batch firmware updates for mass deployments.
3. Universal OLT Compatibility
-Works with Huawei/ZTE/other major OLTs.
-Auto-registers upon power-up.
4. Physical Simplifications
-Color/label coding (e.g., green for residential, red for enterprise).
-QR code scanning for activation (technician’s app).
Current Limitations & Workarounds
Challenges
-Legacy ISP IT Systems: Some Latin American ISPs still use Excel for SN management.
-Multi-Vendor OLT Issues: Requires custom firmware.
