Working With the PON Tool
Working With the PON Tool
The PON tool has been designed and optimized to work with specific use
cases related to the FTTx architecture. With this tool, you can perform
splitter detection tests (from the ONT to the splitter) and ONT detection
tests (from the splitter to the ONT).
As it is a tool for specific cases, the PON tool is disabled by default. As soon
as you enable it, both the splitter and ONT detection tests are enabled. You
can disable either the splitter or the ONT detection test if desired. You can
also configure your unit to show the PON tool in the drawer if desired.
Note: You can use the PON tool with PRO models only.
³ The splitter detection test verifies if the subscriber is connected to the
splitter by allowing the OX1 to distinguish a splitter from a fiber end or
break. When no splitter is detected, the unit displays a splitter element
with a fail status. The unit also provides you with a diagnosis giving
additional information about the detected problems to assist you in
troubleshooting.
The splitter detection test requires the selection of the appropriate
splitter ratio configuration. In the case of cascaded splitters, you should
always select the splitter ratio of the splitter which is closer to the
location where you perform an acquisition. If the distance between
both levels of splitters does not fit within the minimal length
specifications, the splitter detection will fail.
³ The ONT detection test helps you identify a bad connection to the ONT
or a malfunction of the ONT, from outside the subscriber’s premises.
When no ONT is detected, the unit displays an ONT element with a fail
status. The unit provides you with a diagnosis giving additional
information about the detected problems or potential problems to
assist you in troubleshooting.
