Page 35: Gpon/Xgs-Pon Test Procedure
GPON/XGS-PON Test Procedure The FX120/FX120 Lite is designed for use at the customer premises to aid with ONT/ONU activation and troubleshooting. The FX120 is connected at the customer premises. 1. Power on the FX120/FX120 Lite test set. Testing should start automatically. Restarting meas- urements from the OPM menu (see OLT Information Table) resets items in the OPM Summary screen - the power level graphs and the Active ONU list in Advanced Mode.
Page 36 GPON OPM Setup menu XGS-PON OPM Setup menu 3. Inspect and clean the FX120/FX120 Lite test ports. Inspect and clean the fiber patch cord from the OLT and insert it into the FX120/FX120 Lite OLT test port. Warning: Never look directly into the beam of an active optical source as this may res- ult in harmful eye damage from radiation exposure.
Page 37: Gpon And Xgs-Pon Threshold Standards
"GPON/EPON LED Status Indicators" on page 41). 6. Inspect and clean the patch cord connectors that will connect FX120/FX120 Lite to ONU/ONT and the ONU/ONT test port. 7. Connect the FX120/FX120 Lite to the ONU/ONT test port. If 1310/1270nm light is detected, the Status will display OK.
Page 38: Synchronizing The Fx120/Fx120 Lite With The Onu Activation Process
In order to synchronize with the ONU, the FX120/FX120 Lite needs to see the ONU registration process. There- fore, only connect the ONU AFTER the FX120/FX120 Lite application is already running. Otherwise, unplug and replug the ONU the ONU after the FX120/FX120 Lite application is running if the ONU is already con- nected to the FX120/FX120 Lite.

Page 44: Signal And Synchronization Status
EPON Signal Measurement Table At any customer location after the OLT and splitter, the FX120/FX120 Lite will display 1490nm and 1310nm sig- nal level values for GPON, 1577nm and 1270nm for XGS-PON, and 1550nm for RF/CATV. ODN Loss is the dif- ference between the transmitting signal from the OLT (TX) and the DS signal level measured at the FX120/FX120 Lite location.
Page 45 1577nm/1270nm/1310nm: If OK is displayed, light in the downstream 1577nm or upstream 1270nm direction or upstream 1310nm is detected. Transmission Connectivity Sync (TC-Sync): OK UL/DL indicates that the FX120 is properly syn- chronized with the OLT and ONU/ONT traffic. No UL/DL indicates the OLT and ONU/ONT are not synchronized properly.
Page 46: Onu/Ont Statuses
ONU/ONT Statuses The FX120/FX120 Lite can report three ONT statuses: 1. Registered 2. Unregistered 3. Rogue Registered (Activated) Registered means that the ONT/ONU serial number was acknowledged by the OLT port (aka PON-ID) to be a valid SN so the activation process can continue through the remaining steps. This means that communication between the ONT and OLT was established and continues on.
Page 47: How To Detect Rogue Onts
ONT. When testing for rogue ONTs, the FX120 should be placed after the last splitter and right before the ONT to capture downstream information. The OLT will send messages to request ONTs to shut down if they are trans- mitting outside their timeslot.

Auditing/Rebuilding a Fiber Distribution Hub (SuperPM option) Use the optional Splitter Analysis and Distribution Analysis features on the FX120 to do a full survey of a street cabinet by identifying all the ONTs by serial number and locating each ONT to each PON ID - both on the split- ter side and on the distribution panel.
Page 56: Splitter Analysis (Optional)
Process A connection from the FX120 OLT port to a free port (any) on the Splitter Panel allows the FX120 to monitor a copy of all signals happening on all ports. The test set listens to see if there is a signal (capturing the SSN/PID), no signal, or empty port.
Page 57 If the port is empty, mark it "Empty" until the next occupied port is reached. If the port has a patchcord but no letter, mark the port as "No SN". The FX120 will listen to and collect information associated with that port.
