Fault
Scope
Symptom Possible Cause
OLT All the ONUs connected to
a PON port on an OLT
frequently go online and
offline.
The PON port is faulty.
All the ONUs connected to
a board frequently go
online and offline.
The board or the slot is faulty.
ODN
NOTE
ODN
failures
are
generally
caused by
large
reflection
and
attenuatio
n caused
by
improper
optical
compone
nts,
design, or
constructi
on.
A single ONU or some
ONUs connected to an
OLT frequently go online
and offline.
l The branch fiber is bent excessively.
l The branch fiber connector is not clean.
l Different types of branch fiber connectors are
interconnected.
l The multi-mode optical fiber is used as the
branch fiber.
l The ODN is not properly planned. For
example, the split ratio, network coverage and
attenuation difference are not planned within
the proper ranges.
l The optical splitter is faulty or the connectors
on the optical splitter are not clean.
All the ONUs connected to
a PON port on an OLT
frequently go online and
offline.
l The backbone fiber is bent excessively.
l The backbone fiber connector is not clean.
l Different types of backbone fiber connectors
are interconnected.
l The multi-mode optical fiber is used as the
backbone fiber.
l The optical splitter is faulty or the connectors
on the optical splitter are not clean.
ONU
A single ONU or some
ONUs connected to an
OLT frequently go online
and offline.
l A rogue ONU (such as a continuous-mode
ONU) exists on the network and affects other
ONUs.
l The ONU is restarted repeatedly.
CAUTION
To facilitate fault report, save the results of the following steps.
The parameters of the optical module in this topic comply with Class B+. Note that such
parameters are slightly different from the parameters in Class C.
