Remote Intelbras GPON Management with iOLT Cloud

Summary
Overview of Intelbras iOLT Cloud: what it is, how to register OLTs, auto-provision ONUs, push VLAN and bandwidth profiles, run firmware upgrades in bulk, and when it makes sense to complement Intelbras Cloud with MKController and NATCloud in multi-vendor networks.

Remote Intelbras GPON Management with iOLT Cloud

Intelbras iOLT Cloud is a hosted platform to manage your GPON network from anywhere, using only a browser.

It mixes the power of OMCI with the convenience of Intelbras’ cloud stack (like Remotizze), so you can:

  • Provision ONUs remotely.
  • Push firmware and profiles in bulk.
  • Watch bandwidth and optical signal.
  • Keep an eye on all PON ports at once.

Let’s go step by step:

  • What iOLT Cloud actually does.
  • What you need before starting.
  • How to register an Intelbras OLT.
  • How to provision ONUs remotely.
  • How to monitor and generate reports.
  • How MKController and NATCloud complement iOLT Cloud.

1. What is iOLT Cloud?

Think of iOLT Cloud as Intelbras’ “command center in the cloud” for GPON.

Instead of:

  • Opening VPNs to every site.
  • Logging directly into each OLT.
  • Manually clicking through ONU menus…

…you plug your OLT into the Intelbras cloud, and do everything through a central web panel.

With iOLT Cloud you can:

  • Discover and register ONUs as soon as they’re connected.
  • Apply VLAN and bandwidth profiles with a few clicks.
  • Run batch firmware upgrades.
  • Track optical power, alarms and traffic.

Note: iOLT Cloud is focused on Intelbras gear. If you run a pure-Intelbras GPON, it can cover almost all your day-to-day provisioning from the browser.

2. Requirements before you begin

You don’t need much to start using iOLT Cloud, but a few basics must be in place.

2.1 Hardware and connectivity

  • An Intelbras OLT compatible with the cloud platform
    (for example: 8820G, 8820L or 8840G).
  • Active internet connection on the OLT’s uplink.
  • Proper routing and DNS so the OLT can reach Intelbras cloud endpoints.

2.2 Intelbras Cloud account

You also need an Intelbras Cloud account tied to iOLT Cloud:

  • Access the portal (normally: https://ioltc.intelbras.com.br).
  • Create your user account with e-mail and password.
  • Confirm the registration via e-mail.

Once that’s done, you’ll have a dashboard ready to receive OLTs.

3. Default OLT IP and credentials (field cheat sheet)

Fresh from the factory, many Intelbras OLTs come with:

EquipmentDefault IPUserPassword
Intelbras OLT192.168.1.1adminadmin

These values are only a starting point.

As soon as basic connectivity is working, remember to:

  • Change the default password.
  • Move the management IP to a documented management VLAN.
  • Restrict who can reach the management interface.

4. Create your account and register the OLT in iOLT Cloud

Let’s plug your first OLT into the cloud panel.

4.1 Create the Intelbras Cloud / iOLT Cloud account

  1. Open your browser and go to:
    https://ioltc.intelbras.com.br
  2. Click “Create account” (or equivalent).
  3. Fill in your details: name, e-mail, password.
  4. Confirm your registration through the e-mail sent by Intelbras.
  5. Log in to the iOLT Cloud dashboard.

4.2 Add the OLT to the cloud portal

Inside the iOLT Cloud panel:

  1. Click “Add OLT” or similar option.
  2. Enter the Serial Number (S/N) of the OLT.
    • You’ll usually find this on a sticker on the device or in the local interface.

Now the cloud is “waiting” for that OLT to check in.

4.3 Enable Cloud mode on the OLT itself

Locally on the OLT:

  1. Connect your PC to the MGMT port.

  2. Configure your PC in the same subnet, for example:

    • IP: 192.168.1.10
    • Mask: 255.255.255.0

  3. Access the local web interface:

    http://192.168.1.1

  4. Log in with:

    • User: admin
    • Password: admin (factory default)

  5. In the menu, look for something like:

    Menu → Network → Cloud / iOLT

  6. Enable the Cloud / iOLT mode (for example, check “Enable Cloud”).

  7. Save and apply the configuration.

If internet and DNS are OK, within a short time:

  • The OLT will appear automatically in the iOLT Cloud panel.
  • It should show an Online or Connected status.

Tip: If the OLT doesn’t show up, check: internet access, DNS configuration, NTP/time, and whether any firewall in the path is blocking access to Intelbras cloud endpoints.

5. Remotely configuring ONUs via iOLT Cloud

With the OLT connected to iOLT Cloud, you can start provisioning ONUs without touching the local interface.

5.1 Discovering new ONUs

In the iOLT Cloud panel:

  1. Go to the ONUs → Discovered (or “Pending”) section.
  2. Connect ONUs to the OLT PON ports in the field.
  3. Wait a few seconds.

New ONUs will appear as discovered or unprovisioned.

If ONUs don’t show up:

  • Check optical signal levels and connector cleanliness.
  • Confirm that the ONU model is compatible and powered on.
  • Verify that you’re looking at the correct OLT and PON in the panel.

5.2 Provisioning and applying service profiles

For each discovered ONU:

  1. Click Add / Provision.

  2. Fill in the main parameters:

    • ONU name (customer name, address or identifier).
    • Service VLANs (for example: data VLAN, voice VLAN).
    • Bandwidth profile (download/upload rate limiting).
    • Location (optional, but very useful later for troubleshooting).

  3. Save / Apply the configuration.

The OLT will push the profile to the ONU using OMCI, and it should move to a provisioned and online state.

Warning: Be disciplined with naming and profile structure. Messy labels and ad-hoc VLAN combinations turn into a GPON jungle when you reach a few hundred ONUs.

6. Monitoring and managing from the cloud

Once ONUs are provisioned, iOLT Cloud becomes your main console to watch the GPON plant.

From the web panel you can:

  • See bandwidth usage in near real time.
  • Track optical signal per ONU and per PON.
  • Configure alarms for loss of optical signal or high error rates.
  • Run firmware upgrades in bulk for selected OLTs or ONUs.
  • Export availability reports for customers or internal SLAs.

6.1 Using batch firmware upgrades safely

Firmware upgrades are one of the strongest (and scariest) features.

Good habits:

  • Always test new firmware on a small pilot group of ONUs/OLTs first.
  • Schedule upgrades for off-peak windows.
  • Keep a record of versions per device or per site.

6.2 Generating reports and dashboards

Use iOLT Cloud to:

  • Export CSV or PDF reports of ONUs, signal levels and uptime.
  • See which PON ports are heavily loaded.
  • Detect patterns of frequent disconnections or low power.

Tip: Reports are not just for management. Good historical data is gold when you’re troubleshooting weird issues days or weeks after they happen.

7. Where MKController adds value beside iOLT Cloud

iOLT Cloud is very strong inside the Intelbras-only GPON world.

But many networks are multi-vendor by nature:

  • Intelbras OLTs side by side with Huawei, ZTE or FiberHome.
  • MikroTik and other routers providing BRAS/PPPoE.
  • Access switches and Wi-Fi gear from different manufacturers.

That’s where MKController and NATCloud complete the picture.

7.1 Multi-vendor visibility with MKController

With MKController you can:

  • Monitor Intelbras, Huawei, ZTE, FiberHome and others in the same dashboard.
  • Track uptime, ping and packet loss for core and access devices.
  • Discover equipment automatically via SNMP, LLDP and CDP.
  • Cross-check GPON health with uplink router, core switch and CPE status.

7.2 Remote access without public IP using NATCloud

Sometimes even the OLT or surrounding equipment:

  • Has no public IP.
  • Lives behind NAT or CGNAT.
  • Cannot have ports opened for security or policy reasons.

NATCloud solves this by:

  • Creating secure outbound tunnels from the site to MKController.
  • Allowing technicians to reach OLTs, routers and other gear without port forwarding.
  • Keeping remote access working even when providers change addressing or block inbound connections.

Where MKController helps: iOLT Cloud gives you a powerful, Intelbras-specific console for GPON. MKController and NATCloud sit over that, unifying visibility and secure remote access across your entire, multi-vendor network.
