The vendor hung up the phone
EOL gear, production network
DZS discontinued the MXK line. Your OLT still serves hundreds of subscribers — but there is no TAC left to answer.
The engineer who knew is gone
Whoever built the network left years ago. The gear kept running; the documentation never existed.
"A reboot fixes it"
Until next time. An OMCI desync or a bad IGMP timer is not cured by reboots — it is diagnosed and fixed once.
Migration is expensive. So is waiting.
Replacing the plant is a six-figure project. Until then, somebody has to keep today’s network alive.

Real cases
Luxury resort, Riviera Maya
Intermittent IPTV across dozens of rooms; reboots "fixed it" for a few hours. Remote diagnosis: IGMP config healthy, root cause an OMCI desync on the ONT. Solved with a resync from the OLT — no reboot, no impact on other subscribers, SOP delivered to the on-site team.
24-port ONT in production
A zNID 6024T serving an entire building: port reconfiguration with native VLAN + tagged pass-through VLAN (uni-vlan), preserving the existing PoE power-shed. Change documented and verified live, no maintenance window required.
