The process of turning up an OLT is essentially providing the OLT with enough information to allow it to join and be visible in the network. Once this is accomplished, the OLT can be added to the Panorama PON Element Management System and configured as desired using the graphical user interface.
OLT2 Configuration
As shipped, the OLT2 is configured to facilitate quick and easy out of box setup and testing. This setup is designed to minimize the effort required to establish initial connectivity. Once connectivity to the OLT2 is established, it can be configured to conform to the current network deployment.
Initial Configuration
Setting
Value
Comments
Default IP Address
192.168.0.10
Change OLT IP once it is manageable to a valid address within the installation environment. The OLT will come up with the address 192.168.0.10 and this address can be used for initial configuration.
Default VLAN
100 (untagged)
The default configuration makes the uplink untagged to make it as easy to turn up as possible. The default management VLAN is 100 but can be changed to any value. When fully deployed, a tagged VLAN is recommended to ensure separation of management and user traffic and to comply with the best security practices.
Uplink Configuration
All Uplinks in NET1 LAG
Use EMS or turn up to change to the site configuration.
Uplink Speed
Autodetect 10G/1G based on module.
The first module installed will default the uplink LAG speed and all modules that match will be enabled to pass traffic.
Serial Port Speed
115200, N, 8, 1
115200 bits/second, No Parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.
Connecting to OLT2
Connect via μUSB
The OLT2 is equipped with an embedded μUSB (microUSB) to serial port interface which provides direct access to the Command Line Interface (CLI) found on all Tellabs OLTs. To use this interface, attach a cable from the OLT μUSB port to a USB2 or USB3 port on a PC.
Once the cable is connected, open a serial terminal program (TeraTerm, putty, HyperTerminal, etc.) Typically, a serial port for the connection is automatically created. Select the correct port and login to the OLT2 CLI interface to begin the turnup process.
Note: Use of a USB/μUSB cable on a PC may require installation of a driver to allow the USB device to appear as an additional COM port available to the PC. This software may be specific to the cable used. Alternatively, a universal Virtual Com Port (VCP) driver may be used. A VCP driver can be downloaded from the following link: https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers?tab=downloads
Connect via SSHv2
The OLT2 is shipped with the default IP address 192.168.0.10. When an SFP is installed into any uplink port, this IP address can be used to access the OLT CLI using an untagged SSHv2 connection. It is recommended that the default IP address be changed to avoid a conflict with the next unit turned up. Additionally, the management uplink should be configured as tagged. Tagging the management VLAN isolates management traffic from user traffic and reduces exposure to security risks.
Turning up the OLT2
Once connectivity has been established, the user will have access to the OLT CLI. The CLI is used to perform the initial configuration (or turnup) of the OLT2. After turnup, the OLT2 can be added to and managed by the Panorama PON graphical user interface. To turnup the OLT2, perform the following steps:
Wait for the system-ready message to display and then press Enter.

Note1: The CLI displays the available commands, options, parameters and help (for the current context) whenever ? is typed.
Note2: CLI commands, parameters and options can be entered using abbreviations. The abbreviations are specified using capitalization in the help listings and context menus. For example, the wizard command is displayed in the help listing as WIZard. This case convention indicates that the command can be invoked using either wizard or the abbreviated form wiz.
Note3: The CLI also provides for tab completion to speed input. Usually, typing the first character of the command, parameter or option and then pressing Tab will provide command auto-completion.
At the command prompt, input the command wiz em tn run and press Enter. This is an abbreviated form of the command wizard element-manager turnup run. This command executes the Turnup Wizard which will collect the data required to perform the OLT turnup. Below is an example of the Turnup Wizard execution:
Note: The example below assumes that only 1 uplink module was initially installed. The management VLAN and IP configuration used in the example are for demonstration purposes only. Use the appropriate data for your specific installation.

The wizard will prompt for all required turnup information. Valid choices for each configuration item are displayed in parentheses with each prompt. The wizard attempts to guide the user by providing a default value, shown in [brackets], at the end of each prompt. To accept the default value, press Enter. Otherwise, input the appropriate value and press Enter. The following information will be collected by the wizard:
Number of Uplink Interfaces
Typically, it is best to configure only a single management interface during turnup. Additional interfaces can be provisioned after the OLT has been added to Panorama. Panorama enables configuration of all OLT elements, including some items that are not configurable by the CLI. The goal of turnup is to initialize the system such that Panorama PON can be used to complete configuration. For the OLT2, by default from the factory puts all uplinks in a single LAG allowing communication / connection to the network when any of the links are plugged in.
AID of Uplink Interface
Accept the system default (NET1). A Link Aggregate Group (LAG) or uplink interface can have the values NET1..NET4 on the OLT2.
Number of Ports
The number of ports to be bundled in the uplink LAG. Up to four (4) ports are allowed. On initial turnup, it is easiest to have only 1 port installed and configured in the NET1 Interface. Additional ports can be installed and provisioned once the OLT is added to Panorama PON.
Note: Remember that the OLT2 is initially configured so that all uplinks are in the NET1 interface. Additionally, the first module installed will determine the uplink speed. Any ports with modules of the same speed will be enabled. If you installed more than one module, entering one (1) here (as shown in the example) will disable all ports except the first port matching the link speed of the first module installed.
Enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is the standard protocol used to manage the ports in a LAG. The LACP configuration for a LAG must be consistent between both participants. If only one side has LACP enabled, the ports will link up, but the LAG will be disabled, and traffic will not flow.
Element Management Traffic Tagging
Select tagged (2) or untagged (1). It is recommended that management traffic be tagged to isolate it from untagged user traffic. This setting must agree with the upstream switch setting for the management VLAN.
VLAN ID for Element management Communication
This specifies the VLAN ID for managing traffic between the OLT and Panorama.
VLAN Priority
Defines the 802.3P layer 2 priority bits for management packets. It is recommended that the default setting of 7 be used to ensure management traffic continues to flow even if the link becomes oversubscribed.
IP Stack Type to use
Select the IP stack type to use for managing traffic. The type selected must agree with the Panorama configuration. Each type defines both an IPv4 and IPv6 address for the OLT and allows management from either address.
Address
Enter the IPv4 address to be used by the OLT2.
Network Mask
Enter the network mask for the OLT.
Default Gateway
Enter the default gateway IP address to be used by the OLT.
When the Wizard finishes gathering data, a summary is displayed for confirmation. To accept the configuration and perform the turnup, input Y at the prompt and press Enter. The turnup configuration will be applied and the OLT restarted if necessary.

Note: If you make a mistake during Turnup, input N at this prompt and the wizard will terminate without applying the turnup data entered. You can then relaunch the wizard to correct any mistakes. The next attempt should be faster as the wizard will use the responses from the last execution as defaults in each prompt.
