1. A method for repairing a network failure in a Passive Optical Network (PON), the method comprising:
establishing a communication session, by a client device via a short-range communication link, with an optical network terminal (ONT) in a PON;
in response to establishing the communication session, receiving, at the client device from the ONT via the short-range communication link, diagnostic information related to a network failure corresponding to the ONT, the diagnostic information including light level metrics obtained at the ONT for a plurality of ONTs within the PON; and
presenting, by the client device, the diagnostic information to a user for the user to repair the ONT based on the received diagnostic information, including presenting, via a user interface of the client device, a graphic representation depicting a comparison of a light level metric for the ONT to the light level metrics for the plurality of ONTs.
