3 —  ONT and MDU general and interface technical specifications
3-14 November 2013 Alcatel-Lucent 7302 ISAM | 7330 ISAM FTTN | 7360 ISAM FX ONT R04.06.02
Edition 01 3FE 55873 AAAA TCZZA
ONT Product Information Guide
When the clock is received from the GPON, the GPON must be configured to send 
RTP packets.
In adaptive timing, a local, free-running 25 MHz clock is used. The generated bit rate 
is determined by the long-term average data rate. The attached DS1/E1 equipment 
must be loop timed. In differential timing, a 16.384 MHz reference clock is 
synchronized to the PON. Both ends of the DS1/E1 CES PW must use the same 
reference clock frequency and be synchronized to a common source. RTP is used to 
transport the transmit bit rate information. The DS1 or E1 equipment that is attached 
to the terminating CES PW devices must be loop timed. In loop timing, the receive 
clock rate is used for the transmit clock rate. The DS1/E1 equipment that is attached 
must be source timed, not loop timed.
Timestamps within the MEF-8 packets are used for carrying timing information 
across the network. Timestamp values are generated in differential format when the 
interface is operating in differential timing reference mode. Otherwise, the 
timestamp values represent absolute time.
3.7 RF video interface specifications for video overlay
The following section provides design guidelines for coaxial connectivity, 
configuration recommendations, and information based on the RF video receiver 
types used by Alcatel-Lucent ONTs and MDUs. 
Video overlay overview
The system can provide RF video service through the video overlay function. The 
function operates downstream in the 1550 nm optical band. Signals sent over the 
overlay network are presented to the subscriber as RF signals from a video F-type 
connector in the ONT.
Warning —  Operating equipment outside of its tested and 
documented performance characteristics and causing an optical 
overload may cause damage to equipment components, such as APD 
receivers. This can affect service delivery, and void any component or 
system warranties.
Note 1 — V-OLT is an optional network equipment that is used to 
distribute Radio Frequency (RF) video signal from service providers 
to the ONTs. This equipment is not part of the OLT or ONT system. 
The following description of the V-OLT function is provided for 
informational purposes.
Note 2 — Alcatel-Lucent only guarantees ONT RF video output 
levels. Coaxial cable and splitter information in the following sections 
are provided as guidelines. See the coaxial and splitter vendor 
documentation for more information. 
Caution —  Video subscribers can only be provisioned on the 
7342 ISAM FTTU system platform.
