  • OnT interface on optical power meter

    OnT interface on optical power meter

    If the MDU or ONU supports optical power query, you can use the MDU CLI or ONT web page to query the Tx/Rx optical power. The ONT Optical Parameter feature allows you to configure thresholds of the optical transmit (TX) and receive (RX) parameter of an ONT. You should configure an alarm profile to set. Our integrated circuits and reference designs help you create optical network terminal (ONT) units that enable high-speed data connections for today's passive optical networks. Use the resources below to design a system with our most advanced microcontroller, interface and power delivery. When the CLI is used for querying the optical power, the query result is accurate and stable if a great volume of data is transmitted; the query result has a maximum difference of 2 dB from the actual optical power if a small volume of data is transmitted. Therefore, it is recommended that you use. VIAVI offers fast, cost-effective, and easy-to-use power meters for installation and maintenance of single mode and multimode fiber optic networks and advanced, photonic-layer power meters for lab and production environments.
