Enabling or Disabling Power Measurements
You can include the optical power of a link in the measurements that you
perform with the OX1.
When you enable this feature (disabled by default), you need to choose a
wavelength at which the OX1 will calculate the power of a link.
If you are working with a dual-channel unit, you can either select a single
wavelength, a pair of wavelengths, or let the unit automatically interpret
the received signal(s) and suggest which PON-type channel(s) could be
present on your network. The dual-channel unit supports the following
wavelengths related to PON networks:
³ 1490 nm – GPON
³ 1550 nm – RF Video
³ 1577 nm – XGS-PON
If you select a pair of wavelengths, the unit will take two downstream
measurements simultaneously on your link.
If you select the automatic detection, your unit will take one or two
downstream measurements simultaneously on your link, depending on
your PON network configuration. In all cases, with the automatic detection,
your unit will identify the type of network and the corresponding
wavelength at which the power of the link is calculated (ex.: GPON -
1490 nm). By default, the network type is set to GPON if the unit cannot
identify your specific network type.
Note: Should the unit receive atypical signals, the suggested types of channels
could differ from your actual network configuration. In this case, you could
simply manually select the pair of wavelengths corresponding to your
testing needs.
