Description

A hybrid 10G GPON and GPON network contains 10G GPON and GPON NEs. These 10G GPON and GPON NEs share an ODN.

Network Diagram

fig_feature_fttx_011502

On a hybrid 10G GPON and GPON network, an OLT uses 10G GPON and GPON boards to receive services. 10G GPON and GPON NEs share an ODN but use different service wavelengths. Therefore, a passive wavelength multiplexing device (WDM1r) is required.

Characteristics

  • Advantage: A GPON network is smoothly migrated to a 10G GPON network and the two networks share an ODN.
  • Disadvantages:
    • A WDM1r device is required on the ODN to multiplex wavelengths. This operation requires reconstruction for existing ODN networks and optical fiber connections, which interrupts services.
    • Various types of NEs (Huawei 10G GPON and Huawei GPON devices) are involved, and the maintenance is complicated.

Pure 10G GPON Network

Description

A pure 10G GPON network contains only 10G GPON devices, including 10G GPON service board, 10G GPON optical network units (ONUs), and an optical distribution network (ODN). This scenario applies to a new 10G GPON FTTB or FTTC network. FTTB is the acronym for fiber to the building and FTTC is the acronym for fiber to the curb.

fig_feature_fttx_011501

Characteristics

  • Advantage: Only one type of network element (NE) (Huawei 10G GPON devices) is involved, and the maintenance is easy.
  • Disadvantage: A new ODN is required.

GPON Networking Applications

GPON is a passive optical transmission technology that applies in FTTx solutions, including fiber to the building (FTTB), fiber to the curb (FTTC), fiber to the door (FTTD), fiber to the home (FTTH), fiber to the mobile base station (FTTM), fiber to the office (FTTO), and fiber to the WLAN (FTTW), for voice, data, video, private line access, and base station access services. Figure 1 shows FTTx networking applications.

fig_feature_204301

The FTTx network applications in GPON access have the following in common: The data, voice, and video signals of terminal users are sent to ONUs, where the signals are converted into Ethernet packets and then transmitted over optical fibers to the OLT using the GPON uplink ports on the ONUs. Then, the Ethernet packets are forwarded to the upper-layer IP network using the uplink port on the OLT.

  • FTTB/FTTC: The OLT is connected to ONUs in corridors (FTTB) or by the curb (FTTC) using an optical distribution network (ODN). The ONUs are then connected to user terminals using xDSL. FTTB/FTTC is applicable to densely-populated residential communities or office buildings. In this scenario, FTTB/FTTC provides services of certain bandwidth for common users.
  • FTTD: uses existing access media at user homes to resolve drop fiber issues in FTTH scenarios.
  • FTTH: The OLT connects to ONTs at user homes using an ODN network. FTTH is applicable to new apartments or villas in loose distribution. In this scenario, FTTH provides services of higher bandwidth for high-end users.
  • FTTM: The OLT is connected to ONUs using an ODN network. The ONUs are then connected to wireless base stations using E1. The OLT connects wireless base stations to the core IP bearer network using optical access technologies. This implementation mode is not only simpler than traditional SDH/ATM private line technologies, but also drives down the costs of base station backhaul. FTTM is applicable to reconstruction and capacity expansion of mobile bearer networks. In this scenario, FTTM converges the fixed network and the mobile network on the bearer plane.
  • FTTO: The OLT is connected to enterprise ONUs using an ODN network. The ONUs are connected to user terminals using FE, POTS, or Wi-Fi. QinQ VLAN encapsulation is implemented on the ONUs and the OLT. In this way, transparent and secure data channels can be set up between the enterprise private networks located at different places, and therefore the service data and BPDUs between the enterprise private networks can be transparently transmitted over the public network. FTTO is applicable to enterprise networks. In this scenario, FTTO implements TDM PBX, IP PBX, and private line service in the enterprise intranets.
  • FTTW: The OLT connects to ONUs using an ODN network, the ONUs connect to access points (APs) using GE for WLAN traffic backhaul. FTTW is the trend in Wi-Fi construction.

Why Is GPON Required?

As the wide use of broadband services and fiber-in and copper-out development, carriers require a longer transmission reach, higher bandwidth, reliability, and lower operating expense (OPEX) on services. GPON supports the following functions to meet these requirements:

  • Longer transmission distance: The transmission media of optical fibers covers up to 60 km coverage radius on the access layer, resolving transmission distance and bandwidth issues in twisted pair transmission.
  • Higher bandwidth: Each GPON port can support a maximum transmission rate of 2.5 Gbit/s in the downstream direction and 1.25 Gbit/s in the upstream direction, meeting the usage requirements of high-bandwidth services, such as high definition television (HDTV) and outside broadcast (OB).
  • Better user experience on full services: Flexible QoS measures support traffic control based on users and user services, implementing differentiated service provisioning for different users.
  • Higher resource usage with lower costs: GPON supports a split ratio up to 1:128. A feeder fiber from the CO equipment room can be split to up to 128 drop fibers. This economizes on fiber resources and O&M costs.

Alternative way to enable U2000 admin user

Issue Description

Admin user account is disabled. Now customer can not have all rights on other users, and can not return admin account to be enabled

Alarm Information

According to documentation:

The users in the SMManagers group cannot activate the admin user.
If you need to activate the admin user, run the following command on the U2000 server:
In Solaris or SUSE Linux, run the following command:

#cd installation path
#. ./svc_profile.sh
#. ./bin/svc_enableUser user name

In Windows, run the following command:
>cd /d %IMAP_ROOT%
>svc_enableUser user name
Handling Process

On a U2000 test installation I was able to see which tables in database are used to store informations about users.

Tried to disable a test account and observed that information is updated in imapsmdb.tbl_SMUser.

The column in database which confirms if a user is disabled is: imap_accountvalidity (0 if account is  disabled, 1 if account is enabled).

Below actions were performed on live server:

1. Login with nmsuser credentials
2. cd /opt/sybase/OCS-15_0/bin
3. ./isql -SDBSVR -Usa -P<password>
4. > use imapsmdb
5. > go
6. > update tbl_SMUser SET imap_accountvalidity=1 WHERE username=’admin’
7. > go
8. > quit

Login to U2000 server with admin user and enable account from U2000/User management menu

Root Cause

When I’ve tried to run procedure specified in documentation, solaris reported that some libraries are missing.
In these conditions I was forced to look for alternative solutions.

Suggestions

I strongly recommend to enable user as from documentation.

In case of users which don’t have strong command line knowledge, please use a Database browser.

U2000 database structure might be different on different releases.
Above procedure was tested on U2000 V1R2C1SPC003.

ALL network devices cannot be sync because of wrong configuration of xFTP watcher NAT

Issue Description

Customer cannot synchronize any device at the network, when he add new device, device panel cannot be viewed.
N2000 V200R012C05SPC030 Windows 2003 platform

Alarm Information

Null.

Handling Process

  1. FTP was not enabled on the server, so I enabled it by installing FTP server program on the Server then added it to xFTP watcher, however, problem not solved.
    2. check SNMP configuration on device, I noticed that traps are sent to IP 172.16.16.1, while server IP is 10.10.10.1
    3. customer informed us that there is firewall between NEs and N2000, IP range of NEs and firewall interface facing them is 172.16.x.x, while network 10.10.10.x is between Firewall and N2000.
    4. When making backup configuration of NE to N2000 through FTP on IP 172.16.16.1, backup succeed.
    5. When making backup configuration of NE to N2000 through FTP on IP 10.10.10.1, backup failed.
    6. I concluded that FTP is masked for IP 10.10.10.1
    7. If xftp watcher NAT is not configured, N2000 server will send IP 10.10.10.1 to NE to use for synchronization, so sync will fail.
    8. xFTP NAT is designed for such case, we configured $N2000\server\conf\xftp_mapping.cfg using below line, problem solved
    172.16.0.0/16  172.16.16.1

Root Cause

Causes for such problem can be:
1. FTP is not configured correctly on the server.
2. xFTP watcher is not configured.
3. SNMP communities on device are not consistent between NE and BMS.
4. Firewall blocks FTP packets between BMS and NEs.

Suggestions

Checking Topolgy is very important, don’t assume anything whiel troubleshooting.
