3 —  ONT and MDU general and interface technical specifications
3-20 March 2011 Alcatel-Lucent 7330/7302 ISAM FTTN R04.02.42a
ONT Product Information Guide Edition 01 3FE 54199 AAAA TCZZA
A RSSI value of zero occurs when the ONT is not connected to the PON or there is 
a loss of connectivity with the PON. In the latter case, the problem may be either with 
the ONT or PON.
Table 3-11 describes the supported RSSI specifications.

3.10 Wi-Fi specifications
Wi-Fi is a term used to categorize WLAN devices based on the IEEE 802.11 
standard. Only products certified as meeting this standard are called Wi-Fi. 
Specifically, the certification process requires conformance to the IEEE 802.11 radio 
standards as well as the WPA and WPA2 security standards.
According to the Alcatel-Lucent implementation of Wi-Fi for ONTs, the following 
requirements must be met:
• Wi-Fi certified for IEEE 802.11a
• maximum transmit power (EIRP) equal to or greater than 200 mW (23.01 dBm) 
when operating in 802.11b mode
• Wi-Fi certified for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) subset function of 802.11e
• Wi-Fi certified for Power Save, the U-APSD function of 802.11e
• maximum transmit power (EIRP) equal to or greater than 100 mW (20 dBm) 
when operating in 802.11g mode
• supports an 802.11h wireless access point
• supports WEP using a 104-bit key as identified in 802.11i
• Wi-Fi certified for WPA2-Personal that implements the mandatory elements of 
802.11i
• Wi-Fi certified for WPA2-Enterprise
• 802.11g/n processing should not degrade the committed LAN-LAN and/or 
LAN-WAN throughput rate
