interface gpon <port>, then run the relevant display ont ... command with the ONU’s port and ID to see its status, traffic, optical power, version, or MAC addresses.Values in red are examples — replace the IP, GPON port, ONU ID, and Ethernet port with your own.
Step 1 – Connect to the OLT via Telnet
Connect using PuTTY or the Windows command line:
telnet 192.168.0.5Log in with your username and password when prompted.
Step 2 – Enter the GPON Interface
enable
config
interface gpon 0/5Step 3 – ONU Info & Diagnostic Commands
Every command below uses <port> <ont-id> — the GPON port number on the board, then the ONU’s ID. A few also take an Ethernet port number for the ONU itself.

MAC addresses on an ONU can only be viewed through its service-port, not directly by port/ONU ID. First, find the service-port number by filtering the running configuration:
display current-configuration | include 0/5/0 ontOnce you know the service-port number, view its MAC addresses:
display mac-address service-port 1433To see every service-port and which ONUs they connect to:
display service-port allOn some firmware versions, you can also view an ONU’s MAC address directly by port — for example this works on MA5608T (V800R015C00) but not on MA5683T (V800R008C01), so test it on your own firmware before relying on it:
display mac-address port 0/0/0 ont 0Step 5 – Exit the GPON Interface
quitRunning quit a second time will exit the session entirely and disconnect you from the device.

FAQ
display ont info 0 0 mean?The first number is the GPON port on the board, and the second is the ONU ID on that port. Commands that also show traffic or port statistics add a third number for the ONU’s own Ethernet port.
On most firmware, MAC addresses are only visible through the ONU’s service-port, not directly by port/ONU ID. Find the service-port number first with
display current-configuration | include, then query MAC addresses on it.display mac-address port work on my OLT?That command is firmware-dependent — it’s unavailable on some MA5683T firmware builds (e.g. V800R008C01) but works on others like MA5608T V800R015C00. If it fails, fall back to the service-port method instead.
Typically between -8dBm and -27dBm on
display ont optical-info. Readings weaker than about -28dBm often correlate with frequent disconnections and are worth investigating.
