Abstract
A computerized system and method for managing a passive optical network (PON) are disclosed. The system includes a detection and analysis module adapted for receiving uploaded measurement data from an optical line terminal (OLT) and at least one optical network terminal (ONT), and at least one of technical tools data, service failure data, and outside plant data. The detection and analysis module is adapted for determining a source of failure or potential failure in the PON by correlating the uploaded measurement data and the at least one of technical tools data and service failure data with information stored in a memory medium for the OLT and each ONT.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving power level data associated with an optical terminal;
- identifying a change in a power level received by the optical terminal over time based on the power level data;
- comparing the power level data associated with the optical terminal with an expected power level;
- and
- determining whether the optical terminal has malfunctioned based on the identifying and the comparing.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory to store computer program instructions, the computer program instructions when executed on the processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving power level data associated with an optical terminal;
- identifying a change in a power level received by the optical terminal over time based on the power level data;
- comparing the power level data associated with the optical terminal with an expected power level;
- and
- determining whether the optical terminal has malfunctioned based on the identifying and the comparing.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer program instructions, which, when executed on a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving power level data associated with an optical terminal;
- identifying a change in a power level received by the optical terminal over time based on the power level data;
- comparing the power level data associated with the optical terminal with an expected power level;
- and
- determining whether the optical terminal has malfunctioned based on the identifying and the comparing.
