PON Resource Management

This feature provides the PON device management function, enabling administrators to view resource and status information about PON devices and to manage the devices.

Users can understand the status of the PON and each node, and locate and rectify faults when they occur on the network. In addition, administrators can perform maintenance operations, such as remote upgrade, configuration backup, and configuration restore, on the PON, improving the network O&M efficiency and reducing operation costs for enterprises.

This topic describes how to manage PON device resources and view related resource information.

• OLT resource management

  The OLT list managed in the system is displayed in a resource table. Basic OLT information can be viewed, filtered, and queried.

  This function supports operations such as synchronization, jumping to the physical topology, and clicking a name link to jump to the OLT manager to review related detailed information.

• Optical splitter resource management

  The optical splitter list managed in the system is displayed in a resource table. Basic optical splitter information can be viewed, filtered, and queried.

  This function supports optical splitter operations such as add, move, modify, delete, and batch import.

• ONU resource management

  The ONU list managed in the system is displayed in a resource table. Basic ONU information can be viewed, filtered, and queried.

  This function supports functions such as moving ONUs, changing alias, setting polling parameters, changing ONUs, export ONUs,create ONUs and clicking an ONU name link to jump to the ONU manager to view related detailed information.

• PON electronic label

  The electronic label list of PON devices is displayed in a resource table. This function supports the export operation.

• Device software version management

  This function supports operations such as viewing, uploading, modifying, and deleting device software versions.

  A device software upgrade task can be created based on the upgrade option selected by a user and the software version file uploaded by the user. The created task list is displayed in a table. The task execution progress and status can be viewed.

• Device configuration file management and backup

  Device running configuration files of devices included in tasks can be backed up based on the specified cycle, which can be one day, one week, or one month.

  This function supports the operations of backing up configurations of a specified device and restoring the configuration file for a specified device.

The SNMP protocol is used to communicate with PON devices (including OLTs and MxUs) to obtain related resource and status information. Principles of PON resource management is shown as Figure 3-109.

Figure 3-109 PON Resource Management

• eSight PON uses SNMP protocol to communicate with the OLT and MXU devices.
• eSight PON uses SFTP protocol for massive data interaction with devices, for instance, upgrading.
• OLTs use OMCI (Optical Network Terminal Management and Control Interface) between ONT or MxU for information interaction.

3000 ONTs can be remotely upgraded in batches each hour. Therefore, the number of devices must be properly planned during upgrade task planning.
