may be you can implement this processes:

- monitor the syslog of all 7360 for unprovisioned ONTs and store the
mapping serial-number<->host&pon-port.
Syslog message looks like "alarm occurred for pon 1/1/2/7 : SERNUM
=ALCL12345678,"

2 possible ways of provisioning:
1) if you'll see an already known serial-number, start ont provisioning
on given pon-port.

2) if an installer provides a seen serial-number, you can start
provisioning of the mapped pon-port.
