What are the most common operational issues with the MA5600 Series?

Typical issues encountered in the field include:
1. ONU drop / optical power fluctuations due to ODN attenuation or fiber aging
2. Control board switchover failure caused by mismatched versions
3. IPTV freezing triggered by incomplete multicast configuration or insufficient uplink bandwidth
4. ONU not registering due to OMCI compatibility problems
5. Device reboot caused by fan or power module aging
Routine power-level inspections, board version checks, and temperature monitoring can significantly reduce risks.

Does the MA5600 Series support IPv6? Will software upgrades be required?

Yes. IPv6 is supported when:
The control board runs a software version that includes IPv6 features.
ONUs/ONTs support IPv6 (bridge or routing mode).
The broadband service is configured for IPv6 address assignment (SLAAC/PD/DHCPv6).
A unified IPv6 plan is recommended to avoid routing inconsistencies.

What management and software features are supported?

The device supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, QoS, VLAN and QinQ, IGMP/MLD, OAM, remote maintenance, and full compatibility with Huawei NMS platforms.

What is the recommended optical power range for GPON on the MA5600 Series?

Typical GPON optical power budget:
1. OLT Receiver (Rx): –8 dBm to –27 dBm
2. ONU Receiver (Rx): –8 dBm to –27 dBm
Proper optical design is required to prevent ONU flapping caused by excessive split ratios or fiber degradation.

Can the MA5600 Series interoperate with third-party ONUs/ONTs?

Yes, as long as both sides comply with ITU-T G.988 OMCI standards.
However, advanced functions such as Wi-Fi, VoIP, TR-069, and custom VLAN templates may behave differently.
A full OMCI interoperability and service verification test is strongly recommended before large-scale deployment.
