The EPON ONT supports a minimum DBA bandwidth granularity of 64 kb/s and
±5% DBA precision.
Forward error correction
The EPON ONT supports the following FEC functions for the 10G EPON system:
•
configurable upstream and downstream for 1G ONT
•
configurable upstream for 10G/1G ONT
•
always enabled for 10G/10G ONT
Rogue ONT discovery and closure
The EPON system will automatically identify faults or error conditions using alarms
and statistics to inform operators of any problems or by using automatic action to
disable a rogue ONT to avoid disruption in the PON. Conditions on one ONT may
affect other ONTs using the same PON and cause disruption, so the system can help
operators troubleshoot and manage rogue ONTs.
The following faults or error conditions are automatically identified by the EPON
system:
•
PON unusable due to ONT laser light stuck in ON position
•
ONT de-registers due to duplicate ONT serial numbers which prevents correct
ranging
•
ONT misinterprets the bandwidth map
•
ONT transmits the incorrect time slot allocation
•
ONT fails to transmit to correct time slot allocation
•
ONT transmits incorrect signal timing which can disrupt other ONTs
•
ONT transmits signals too low or too high which can cause bit rate errors or
ranging failure

EPON ONT ranging
Ranging is the process by which the propagation delay between the OLT and the
ONT is measured. The OLT performs the round trip delay computation using the
timestamp in the MPCP messages from the ONT.
