Q: Can I use MA5683T main control board SCUN as uplink so as to save the uplink board cost?
A: Yes, you can, but we don’t suggest, as OLT SCUN load balance is not well supported, so most customers are using SCUN in active/standby mode, if OLT lose power, which SCUN will work as the active SCUN will be randomly, which may affect service, also if the link is down, the active SCUN will not shift to the standby SCUN (it will only shift when SCUN board is down), then service may get affected also.
Q: Can I have 1000 Base-T as uplink?
A: Yes, instead of GICF uplink board you can purchase GICG uplink board, if use GICF, you can buy a electrical SFP module then you can have 1000 Base-T.

A: We don’t suggest so, as the understanding of TR069/OMCI protocol may different between different vendors.

A: Yes, then you may request our sales quote you X2CS board instead of GICF uplink board, each X2CS provide 2*10G ports.
