6.10 Checking ranging state of an ONT
The ranging state indicates the operational mode of the ONT as per ITU 984.3. 
Table 6-9 describes the possible ranging states for an ONT.
Table 6-9 Ranging states of an ONT
This section shows you how to retrieve the ranging state of an ONT.
Ranging state Description
Initial state The ONT is on, but is not connected to the GPON.
Standby state The ONT is waiting for network parameters, such as a preassigned 
equalization delay, or the number of preamble bytes to use in the 
upstream direction.
Serial number state The ONT is waiting for a serial number request. When the request 
is received, the ONT registers.
Ranging state The ONT is waiting for a ranging request. Based on the round-trip 
delay (RTD) time, the P-OLT calculates the ONT’s equalization 
delay.
Operation state The ONT is ranged. In the operation state, the upstream frames 
will be synchronized together between the ONTs on the PON. 
Also, the upstream transmissions will arrive separately, each one 
in its correct location within the frame. In this state, the ONT can 
be halted by the P-OLT, to implement serial number or ranging 
processes with other ONTs.
Popup state The ONT enters the popup state from the operation state after 
detecting an alarm, such as loss of signal (LOS) or loss of frame 
(LOF). In the pop-up state, the ONT stops transmitting in the 
upstream direction.
Emergency stop state The ONT is in an emergency stop state, and does not receive and 
transmit data until the P-OLT enables it.
