+## Pre-configuration
+
+Before beginning the ONT configuration, ensure you have addressed the following networking requirements to enable
+successful communication with the PON.
+
+
+### LCT Access Route
+
+To install, upgrade, and configure the ONT, your gateway must be able to reach its Local Craft Terminal (LCT) interface.
+__Follow the [Accessing the ONT] guide to set up the proper network routing between your gateway and the ONT management plane.__
+
+  [Accessing the ONT]: accessing-the-ont.md
+
+{% include 'bce-inc-hub/install-ont-fw.md' %}
+
+
+## Configure ONT settings
+
+To masquerade as the {{ page.meta.ont }}, you will need its ONT serial number, which is located on the bottom label as
+depicted below.

+## Software versions
+
+The {{ page.meta.ont }} uses CWMP instead of OMCI for firmware updates. While the OLT rarely requires approval for
+specific software versions, keeping the [WAS-110] or [X-ONU-SFPP] up-to-date is beneficial but not strictly necessary.
+
+If you would like to help us maintain the software listing, you can contribute new versions via the
+[8311 Discord community server] or by submitting a [Pull Request](https://github.com/up-n-atom/8311/pulls) on GitHub.
