6 — LP MDU, MDU, and modular ONT hardware functional blocks
Alcatel-Lucent 7342 ISAM FTTU ONT R04.05.06 July 2008 6-11
3FE 51892 AAAA TCZZA Edition 01 ONT Product Information Manual
A FPGA is required to provide the GPON MAC to Ethernet function. An Ethernet
switch provides the traffic interface between the GPON MAC and the VDSL2 chips.
A programmable logic device (PLD) is required to provide the interface between the
on-board controller (OBC) and the control interface of the VDSL2 chips.
The O-00240V-A MDU ONT board contains the following functional blocks:
• Luminent diplexer
• GPON MAC FPGA
• Ethernet switch
• on-board controller
Figure 6-4 illustrates the functional block for the O-00240V-A MDU outdoor ONT.

GPON MAC FPGA
The GPON MAC FPGA interacts with the Ethernet functions and provides GPON
MAC functions. Table 6-9 describes the features of the GPON MAC FPGA.

Feature Description
Interfaces Supports two 2.5 Gigabit interfaces toward to the Ethernet switch as
well as the GPON interface.
Upstream and downstream
FEC
Supports 1.24.Gb/s upstream and 2.49 Gb/s downstream FEC. FEC is
a data encoding format used with data transmissions in the transport
layer between the MDU ONT and an P-OLT. The encoding introduces
redundancy, which allows the decoder to detect and correct the
transmission errors.
