Fibre operations

Run your fibre
without the OLT console

Fibre is where independent ISPs grow into serious operators, and where the OLT console becomes the bottleneck. Iterative Billing drives Huawei OLTs from the same platform that bills the customer, so a new fibre customer is live the day they pay.

Their experience

What your subscribers see

  • Fibre live the same day

    The ONU is authorised and the service provisioned as soon as the account is ready.

  • Restored the moment they pay

    A suspended fibre customer is back online automatically when payment arrives.

Your control room

What you see

  • ONUs authorised automatically

    New ONUs are discovered and authorised without typing a single OLT command.

  • Service tied to billing

    Provisioning, suspension and reactivation follow the customer’s account status.

  • Setup and migration tools

    Automatic OLT setup and ONU migration when you reorganise ports or move customers.

  • Optical readings

    ONU and OLT receive power synced for every customer, so a weak fibre shows up before the call.

  • Audits

    OLT audits that compare what the OLT holds with what the platform expects.

  • On the network map

    OLTs, splitters and ONUs placed on the live network map.

  • Service ports suggested, not typed

    When an ONU needs service ports, the platform proposes the VLANs from your pinned convention for that OLT, from what its neighbours on the same PON carry, or from what the ONU had before it moved, then checks the OLT again before it creates anything.

  • Bulk import with a dry run

    Import ONU locations, zones and FAT boxes from a CSV. A dry run lists unmatched serials and every zone or FAT that would be created before anything is written.

How it works

  1. 1

    Connect the OLT

    Add the Huawei OLT; the platform talks to it over Telnet, SSH and SNMP.

  2. 2

    Set service profiles

    Map speed and line profiles to your packages.

  3. 3

    Let billing drive it

    Authorisation, suspension and restoration follow payments from then on.

Questions operators ask

Which OLTs does Iterative Billing manage?

Huawei GPON OLTs, including the MA5608T, MA5683T, MA5800 and EA5800 series, over Telnet, SSH and SNMP.

Do I still need the OLT command line?

Not for day-to-day work. ONU discovery and authorisation, service provisioning, suspension and restoration run from the platform, tied to each customer’s billing status.

Can fibre customers be suspended and restored automatically?

Yes. When an account expires the service is suspended, and when payment arrives it is restored automatically.

Can I import my existing fibre network?

Yes. A CSV import places ONUs, zones and FAT boxes, with their port counts and coordinates, on the network map. Run it as a dry run first: you see every serial that did not match and every zone or FAT that would be created, and nothing is written until you apply it.

How are VLANs and service ports assigned?

From what the platform already knows: the service-port convention you pin for each OLT, what the other ONUs on the same PON carry (majority wins, and disagreement is shown), or what that ONU carried before it moved. The write is queued, and the OLT is checked for existing service ports before any are created.

Can an ONU be set up as a hotspot unit?

Yes. Authorise it with a hotspot-only preset and the whole ONU becomes a hotspot unit: a bridged WAN on the OLT’s hotspot VLAN, the LAN ports and first SSID bound to it, and that SSID renamed to the preset’s name.
