Fault Description
ONU There are two scenarios that the ONU fails to be registered:
The configured ONU can not access the online state.
Registration The unregistered ONU cannot be discovered in the optical
Failure network under the PON port.
Possible Reason of ONU Registration Failure
Fiber faults:
• Fiber connection error occurs.
• The fiber is disconnected.
• The fiber distance is too long.
• The fiber signal attenuation is too high or too low.
ONU Optical module faults:
• The optical module is damaged.
Registration • The optical module has too low receiving sensitivity.
• The optical module has too high or low optical output power.
Failure The ONU keeps sending optical signals or it is connected with another
device that keeps sending optical signals.
The OLT PON port is disabled.
The OLT enables hardware authentication.
Other faults on the ONU.
Other faults on the OLT.
Check Steps if All ONU can not the register
Fault Description
There is no dialing tone when the subscriber hooks off the phone.
Voice Faults Fault Analysis
The fault may be caused by the following:
• Line fault
• Hardware fault
• Network fault
• Data configuration error
Handling Procedures
Fault Description
The busy tone is played on hook-off.
Fault Analysis
The fault may be caused by the following:
• The ONU is not registered.
Voice Faults • The SS delivers the busy tone signaling.
• The data configuration is incorrect
Fault Handling
To handle the fault, perform the following operations:
Check the data configuration on the SS.
Check the data configuration on the ONU and check whether the
configuration is consistent with that on the SS.
If the data configuration on both sides is correct, analyze the
packets through packet capture, which requires the MGCP or
H.248 protocol.
Call Failure
Fault Description
The call fails.
Fault Analysis
The fault may be caused by the following:
• Telephone fault
• Syntax error
• ONU configuration error
Voice Faults • SS data configuration error
Fault Handling
To handle the fault, perform the following operations:
If the call fails during the dialing, perform the following operations:
• Change the telephone to check whether the fault still exists.
• Check the digit map through signaling trace or packet capture to check whether
the syntax is incorrect.
• Check whether the digit map size exceeds the threshold.
• Check the long-term timing and short-term timing configuration on the ONU.
Data Services All Down
Fault Description
Data services all down presents as follows:
• The NMS prompts that the ONU is disconnected and the
subscriber service is interrupted.
• Mass subscribers fail to access the Internet from the ONU.
Broadband Fault Analysis
Service Faults The fault may be caused by the following:
• The device is powered down.
• The uplink port is disconnected.
• The card (main control card or subscriber card) is faulty or the
software version is faulty.
• The cable connection is faulty.
• The ONU fails to be registered.
Handling Procedures
Fault Description
This kind of fault presents as follows:
• It is slow to open a website or download data from the Internet.
• A great number of packets are lost when the subscriber pings the DNS.
• The subscriber get disconnected frequently.
When the uplink optical loss is too high, measure the optical loss and
change the fiber (fiber module).
When the working mode of the uplink port is inconsistent with that of
the upper-layer device port, check the uplink port configuration
