Hubsoft integration with Cianet

About Cianet

Cianet develops products and solutions for fiber-optic networks serving regional providers. The company combines technical expertise, data, and partners to bring internet to regions where it is not yet available.

What the integration does

The integration connects Hubsoft to the Cianet OLT through Telnet or SSH, depending on the model. After registering the OLT, your team can use Hubsoft to:

• View connected ONUs and those pending authorization on each PON port.
• Authorize the ONU linked to the customer and service, using the selected CPE profile. Provisioning runs right afterward, with no additional action.
• Unauthorize and deprovision using the commands from the same profile.
• Authorize and provision ONUs in bulk, one PON at a time, for ONUs already linked to services by serial number.
• Enter the Wi-Fi name and password, including for the 5 GHz network, during authorization when the CPE profile includes Wi-Fi commands.
• Run custom commands after provisioning, such as adjusting Wi-Fi or activating VoIP.
• Receive an alert when the ONU signal exceeds the limit on ports with monitoring enabled.
• Log sent commands to check the OLT response when something fails.

Integrated models:

• G8PS (Telnet, port 23)
• G8PSX
• E8PS (SSH, port 22)

What you need

• A Cianet OLT in one of the models above, with an access IP address.
• The username, password, and access port for Hubsoft to access the OLT.
• The OLT's POP registered under Network > Points of Presence.
• CPE profiles with authorization, provisioning, deprovisioning, and unauthorization commands under Configuration > Network > CPE Profiles. The Hubsoft team provides reference profiles for Cianet (bridge and router).

How to activate

1. Under Network > Connection Equipment, click Add and enter the name, IP address, Cianet as the manufacturer, the model, and the POP.
2. Enter the username, password, and access port: Telnet, port 23, for G8PS; and SSH, port 22, for E8PS. For G8PSX, confirm the protocol with support.
3. Under Actions > View, enable editing and register the PON ports in the Interfaces tab, individually or in bulk, with the chassis, slot, PON, starting VLAN, VLAN increment, default CPE profile, and the concentrator that authenticates customers.
4. To test, open Actions > View Connected Customers and check the Layer 2 and Pending Layer 2 tabs.
5. Authorize the first ONU using the menu beside it, entering the customer, service, and CPE profile.

The step-by-step guide with screenshots is available in the Hubsoft wiki: OLT and port registration, ONU authorization and provisioning and list of integrated OLTs.

Limitations

• Bulk authorization and provisioning work with one PON at a time. If a PON has ONUs in bridge and router modes, process one type at a time.
• When registering ports in bulk, register no more than 4 slots at a time.
• When changing PONs, unauthorize the ONUs from the old PON directly on the OLT. In Hubsoft, unauthorization also removes the customer-to-ONU association.
• On Cianet OLTs, the integration uses chassis "1" when registering ports.

Frequently asked questions

My Cianet model is not on the list. What now?

Contact the Hubsoft Infra Support team. They will assess whether the model can be integrated.

Does the technician need the OLT password?

No. The username and password are stored in the equipment record. Operators can view and authorize ONUs from the Hubsoft screen without the OLT credentials.

Can I authorize multiple ONUs at once?

Yes, one PON at a time, under Actions > View Connected Customers. The ONUs must be linked to customer services, with the serial number entered in the service's Authentication tab. After bulk authorization, bulk provisioning applies the CPE profile and VLAN.
