How to Load the Version of the Standby Control Board of the MA5600

Question

How to load the version of the standby control board of the MA5600 if the active control board functions properly?

Answer

If one of the control boards of the MA5600 is faulty, the faulty control board needs to be

replaced. In replacement, the following scenarios may occur:

l For H801SCUN, there is no need to check the versions of control boards on the live network or the version of the substitute control board. This is because the H801SCUN supports duplicating of all information to the standby control board. No manual operation is required.

l For H801SCUB, H801SCUF, or H801SCUL,

– When the version of the original control board is earlier than V800R008C01, automatic

information duplication to the standby control board is supported if the version of the

substitute control board is V800R006C02 or later. No manual operation is required.

– When the version of the original control board is V800R008C01 or later, automatic

information duplication to the standby control board is supported if the version of the

substitute control board is V800R008C01 or later. No manual operation is required.

– When the version of the original control board is V800R008C01 or later, a patch is

required for the substitute control board to support automatic information duplication

to the standby control board if the version of the substitute control board is earlier than

– V800R006C02: SPC124 or a later patch

– V800R007C00: SPC307 or a later patch

– V800R007C01: SPC307 or a later patch

– When the version of the substitute control board is earlier than V800R006C02.

automatic information duplication to the standby control board is not supported.

Therefore, manually upgrade the substitute control board to the version of the control

board on the live network for information synchronization.

ONU Frequently Goes Online and Offline(1) - Unstable Voltage

SmartAX MA5600T/MA5603T Multi-service Access Module Troubleshooting: ONU Frequently Goes Online and Offline:

The ONU frequently going online and offline failure is a fault in which an ONU connected to a PON port of an OLT frequently goes online and offline and therefore the OLT reports a large number of ONU LOS and ONU signal recovery alarms.

There are several reasons if the ONU frequently goes online and offline, we will tell the detailed on this blog.

1 TC-C6007 An ONU Goes Online and Offline Repeatedly Because of

Unstable Voltage

This topic describes how to troubleshoot the fault when an ONU goes online and offline

repeatedly and alarms that the ONU goes online and offline repeatedly are generated on the OLT because of unstable voltage.

Fault Description

An ONU connected to an OLT in an office goes online and offline repeatedly and irregularly.

Alarm Information

Alarms that the ONU goes online and offline repeatedly are generated on the OLT.

Cause Analysis

l The optical fiber attenuation is very large.

l The hardware of the ONU is faulty.

l The boards on the OLT are faulty.

Procedure

Step 1 Other ONUs connected to the PON port are normal, which indicates that the PON board of the OLT is normal.

Step 2 Use an optical power meter to test the optical fiber attenuation on the ONU side. It is found that the optical fiber attenuation is -20 dB, which is normal. This indicates that the line is normal.

Step 3 Replace the ONU with another ONU. The fault, however, persists, which indicates that the hardware of the ONU is normal.

Step 4 The ONU on which the fault occurs is located in a remote mountain area. Therefore, it is suspected that the fault is caused by the surroundings. Log in to the ONU in the telnet mode, and then run the display alarm list all command to carefully view the alarms. It is found that the ONU resets in peak hours from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. in four consecutive days. Therefore, it can be preliminarily determined that the fault is caused by the voltage.

Step 5 Use a multimeter to test the voltage on site. It is found that the ONU resets repeatedly due to unstable voltage. Replace the ONU with another ONU with the DC module. As a result, the fault is rectified.

----End

Suggestion and Conclusion

The ONUs of Huawei support AC power supply and DC power supply. If an ONU uses the AC power supply, the ONU resets repeatedly when the voltage is unstable. If the voltage is abnormal and the normal voltage cannot be guaranteed, it is recommended that you use an ONU with the DC module.

MA5683T VS MA5603

What’s the difference between the MA5683T and MA5603?

MA5603T also support ADSL, VDSL, VOIP, it is multi service based (you may add ADSL,VDSL, VOIP interface card to MA5603T in future)

While MA5683T only support GPON, EPON (you can not add these ADSL VDSL card).  

MA5603T is more expensive than MA5683T as it support multiple service.
