Access to ONT interfaces
An ONT interface is accessible through a port on the ONT.
• HTTP interfaces are accessible through an Ethernet connection on indoor ONTs 
with an HTTP server.
• The CLI interface is accessible through an Ethernet connection on indoor ONTs, 
and a serial RS-232 craft connection on outdoor ONTs. 
• The CLI interface for Package C ONTs is accessible through an Ethernet 
connection and a serial RS-232 craft connection. 
• The butt set is used through a POTS connection on an indoor or outdoor ONT.
Table 1-9 identifies the ONT interfaces, the ONTs that a specific ONT interface 
supports, the field equipment that the ONT interface requires, and the ONT port on 
which the field equipment must be connected.

ONT interface security
The HTTP and CLI interfaces are password-protected to prevent unauthorized access 
to utilities. In addition, each ONT has a security setting that specifies the access level 
of a user to the HTTP and CLI interface utilities, after the ONT is ranged. User access 
levels are as follows:
• read-write access, which grants a user read and write access to all utilities
• read-only access, which grants a user read-only access to the SLID, ranging state, 
and RSSI of the ONT
• no access, which denies a user access to all utilities
