ONUs Overview

Overview​

The ONU List shows every customer ONU across all your OLTs in one place — their status, signal levels, and which subscriber they belong to. It's where you search for a specific customer's box or hunt down every ONU running weak.

Required Permissions​

  • ONU → List; Assign / Unassign and per-ONU View have their own permissions.

Monitoring → ONUs

The columns​

ColumnMeaning

ActionView (opens ONU details), and Assign or Unassign.
StatusOnline / Low Signal / Offline badge.
PONThe PON port on the OLT.

TX PowerLight the ONU transmits back (dBm).

Last Seen / Last PollWhen the ONU was last online / last read.
DistanceFibre distance from the OLT.
Temperature / VoltageThe ONU's optical module readings.

Filters​

The Filter button reveals: OLTs (and then its PONs), Status (Online / Offline / Low Signal), Assignment (Assigned / Unassigned), and RX power bands (≥ −25 healthy, −25 to −27 marginal, below −27 weak). A Reset button clears them.

Bulk assign​

Tick one or more ONUs and choose Action → Assign to link them to a subscriber in one go — see ONU Assignment. To link many ONUs to many different subscribers automatically, use the dedicated assignment screen.

Understanding the readings​

Everything here comes from the last poll of the parent OLT — nothing is measured live on this page (the Last Poll column tells you how recent it is). RX Power is the most important number: the more negative the dBm, the weaker the light. An online ONU below the low-signal threshold is flagged Low Signal — connected, but at risk.
