I am having some troubles to add third party ONTs (e.g. a FINISAR ONT) to the MA5608T. It isn't going online when using the commands 'ont add' or 'ont confirm'.
However, if the vendor ID of the third party ONT is modified as 'HWTC', it is going online with MA5608T.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Namely, I think that the MA5608T checks whether the vendor ID of the ONTs is 'HWTC' or not.
Please, tell me to add a third-party ONT (whose vendor ID is not 'HWTC') to a Huawei MA5608T OLT.
