=Summary:=

* In short, the ONT in installed inside the customer's premises by CityFibre and converts the fibre connection from the outside world in to a RJ45 port which you plug in to your router with a CAT5 cable.

* The ONT requires power, and a UPS is recommended, see our [[VoIP_Power]] page for suggestions.

Openreach provide an ONT for use with FTTP services. - so when you order a BT-based FTTP service from A&A, an Openreach engineer will install the little ONT unit in your premises. You then connect your Ethernet router to it and set your router with the A&A PPP credentials to log in.

This page is about diagnosing problems with the Openreach ONT.

* A working Openreach unit has '''green: power, PON & LAN''' lights, anything else indicates a problem.

* Your PPPoE capable router will plug in to the LAN port and connect you to the internet.
