    MU120131A/32A PON Quck Start Guide 1. Introduction The MD1230/MP1590 family (hereafter MD1230B) is a measuring instruments designed for next-generation networks. This documents explains its applications for PON used in increasingly common FTTH networks (B-PON, E-PON (GE-PON), G-PON). First, it explains the methods for performing simultaneous one-way and two-way End-to-End measurement of all the ONU and OLT equipment in a 32-branch PON system with a single measuring instrument.
