  • Patent number: 9509431
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling an optical network unit to restart upon completion of downloading new software. Upon completion of downloading a new software version, an optical network terminal firstly determines a type of an active image request to be transmitted based upon stored values, of a RstDelayTimeRange attribute and of a RstDelayTrafficThreshold attribute, corresponding to the optical network unit, and then transmits the active image request to the optical network unit. The determined active image request may be a first active image request to instruct the optical network unit to immediately restart and activate the new software version that has been downloaded, or may be a second active image request to instruct the optical network unit to set an activation flag and a third active image request to instruct the optical network unit to immediately restart, both of which are used in combination.
