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.

What is the maximum access capacity supported by the MA5608T chassis?

Depending on installed service boards, the MA5608T can support up to:
1. 4,096 GPON subscribers (with typical 1:64 split ratio)
2. 2 service slots for PON boards
Actual capacity depends on optical budget, splitter design, and upstream network planning.

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.

Which PON technologies are supported by the MA5608T?

The MA5608T supports:
GPON service boards (ITU-T G.984)
EPON service boards (IEEE 802.3ah)

Which software version should be used? Is upgrading to the latest version necessary?

For carrier networks, the priority is:
1. Version stability
2. Board compatibility
3. Feature consistency with existing equipment
Use a widely deployed, mature version rather than the newest release. Always prepare a rollback plan before upgrading
