Delete OLTs

ALERT 1! Do not delete an NE from Panorama PON while the NE is in the process of completing a software switch. Doing so can create an unrecoverable condition that leaves the NE in a pending state and unable to communicate with the Panorama PON.

ALERT 2! To perform this procedure, the user must be logged in at the Admin Security level.

The following restrictions apply to deleting an OLT NE:

• An NE with voice cross-connections is service-affecting. When voice cross-connections exist at the NE, Panorama PON deletes all connections at both endpoints before deleting the NE. Connections that span between two NEs are deleted from both NEs.
• An NE with voice cross-connections can take several minutes while Panorama PON deletes all the connection endpoints.

  Note: The Panorama PON client is locked out during this operation.

• An OLT with a timing server, or timing client association, also deletes the association between both systems. For related information
