OVERVIEW Zhone Technologies provides advanced fully integrated network access solutions. Zhone's vision is founded on intelligent access devices capable of quickly and easily deploying multi-play service packages which combine business broadband, Voice over IP (VoIP), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), and Ethernet access on existing copper and fiber infrastructure with a migration path to an all IP network. Central to Zhone's vision are the Multiple Service Access Platforms (MSAP), MXK and MALC.
Overview Advanced copper access technologies such as VDSL2 and bonded ADSL2+ and EFM that aggregate multiple copper lines for higher performance often present a compelling balance of economy and performance. Other options include a combination of copper and fiber delivering fiber to the curb or basement and leveraging existing copper at short distances to reach the home or business.
Fiber Solutions subscriber by reducing the number of optical transceivers in the optical deployment network. In contrast, Active Ethernet dedicates optical transceivers at both the OLT and the ONT for each subscriber with a point-to-point topology. This simple fact gives Active Ethernet the flexibility for longer reach and can be better suited for rural settings, where subscribers may be up to 50 miles from a central office.
Overview Zhone supports both Active Ethernet and GPON. Read the Zhone White Paper, “Choosing the Right FTTx Architecture” or consult your Zhone sales representative about both GPON and Active Ethernet solutions. Zhone GPON solutions: OMCI and browser based Zhone has two types of zNIDs for GPON: those which are based on ONT Management Control Interface (OMCI) for configuration and management and those which use a browser based user interface (UI) as is common with modems, routers and residential gateways.
Fiber Solutions underlying technology. This section attempts to define some general items to take into consideration, not to be a definitive resource. We also add an appendix to discuss these topics in greater detail to broach the subject and help locate reference resources with quickly evolving technologies. GPON and Active Ethernet networks and terminology There is a set of terminology for components in optical deployment network (ODN). Components of optical deployment networks.
Overview Planning GPON networks When deploying GPON networks, you have to think in optical terms, rather than electrical or copper based terms. With copper based solutions you think of distance and transport technology (“Will ADSL or VDSL reach from the CO to the subscribers?” is a significant network design question); with fiber based networks, and GPON in particular, you have to think in terms of optical link power loss budgets.
Fiber Solutions Component Loss Optical fiber -0.3 dB per kilometer Splitters The link loss for splitters depends on the number of splits • • • • • • 2 splits, -4 dB 4 splits, -7.5 dB 8 splits, -11 dB 16 splits, -14 dB 32 splits, -18 dB 64 splits, -21.5 dB Splices -0.1 dB Connectors -0.2 dB Couplers Couplers are connectorized means for splicing cable. -0.4 dB Installation testing The theoretical link loss budget map is very important when installing fiber.
Overview There are testing tools on the market which can be used to test the components as added. The actual figures that are discovered during installation testing should also be noted and filed as they may also be helpful when troubleshooting problems which may arise in the ODN in the future. Handling fiber Handling of fiber requires special precautions for those familiar with copper wiring. WARNING! Never look into an active optical fiber.
Fiber scenarios in the application guide Fiber scenarios in the application guide The primary goal of the FTTH application guide is to show how to create triple play services via the OMCI based solution or the browser based solution. This document will show how to configure both the OLT and the ONT. Zhone also has zNID 42xx models which use Active Ethernet transport technology. While the ODN may be different, the browser-based interface is the same for both GPON and Active Ethernet models of the 42xx.
Overview need to activate the zNIDs, so they will appear to the OLT (in this case, the MXK). Differences between OMCI based and browser based solutions The configuration process for OMCI based and browser based zNIDs are very different. With OMCI you have a profile for configuring models; there is a profile for adding a service plan; there is a profile for adding each user’s zNID. This configuring is done on the MXK, not the zNID itself.
Fiber scenarios in the application guide With the browser based solution you configure the device directly via its UI. For the browser based zNID we will discuss structured deployment models (Deploying and managing overview on page 70). Note that the activation process steps is only for GPON. 1 Configure the zNID This step is different depending on whether the zNID is OMCI based or browser based.
Overview OMCI based has you configure and add profiles which allow a structured policies based approach to adding ONT models, selecting their physical interfaces, defining service plans, then adding users. Most of the configuration is done on the OLT; in our examples, the MXK. The browser based UI provides mechanisms much like a copper based residential gateway.
Getting to work Getting to work This document is intended to give you hands on experience and information. While it should take less than an hour or two to complete all the scenarios and excercises, it should give you a good start to building your own networks. Scenario building process 1 Turn up the solution This chapter will guide you through the process of setting up the hardware.
Overview VLANs for the data, video and voice services In most networks the voice and video traffic will be separated from data and management traffic in some way, most often with the use of VLANs. Video will be on its own VLAN and voice on its own VLAN. One of the benefits of segregating traffic type by VLAN is securing known traffic.
Getting to work You should note that we are using the same VLAN for data for all three zNIDs discussed in this guide (VLAN 200).
Overview 26 FTTH Application Guide
TURNING UP YOUR SOLUTION(S) This chapter is the starting point for building the examples throughout this guide. Regardless of which scenario you build, the fundamentals of getting the solution up to a state where it can be configured are the same. Follow the process as described below which highlights the GPON variation of the installation process of the MXK.
Turning Up Your Solution(s) Turning up the MXK (the OLT) Verify the shipment and its contents, then install the MXK. For greater detail on specifics such as how to install cards, or connect power, please follow the directions from the Install the MXK chapter of the MXK Hardware Installation Guide. This procedure highlights the specific configuration for the examples. 1 Install the MXK chassis into the rack. 2 Connect power and provide ground for the chassis. 3 Install the uplink and line cards.
Turning up the MXK (the OLT) Connect the special RS232 adapter to the serial port of your PC and use an Ethernet cable to connect between the adapter and craft port of the uplink/controller card with the following settings: 9600bps, 8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit, No flow control. b Log into the system (user name: admin, password: zhone). c Are all the cards recognized? Use the slots command to display the cards in the slots.
Turning Up Your Solution(s) – For both the GPON and Active Ethernet scenarios voice will be on VoIP line 1. See zNID GPON 4213 and zNID ETH 4212 on page 33 for greater detail. 7 Provision the MXK At this point we just need to get the MXK to a running state by loading software to the line cards. The uplink controller card will already have software loaded on it by default. Load the card profile zSH> card add 4 zSH> card add 13 Each card (or type of card) has a software binary for that card.
Turning up the zNIDs (the ONTs) Turning up the zNIDs (the ONTs) Both zNIDs follow a similar procedure for turn up: 1 Connect to the network 2 Connect power 3 Connect services Once the zNIDs are turned up, verify by the LEDs that the zNID has powered up properly zNID GPON 2510 The zNID GPON 2510 is an indoor model which has GPON as the upstream port. The dowstream ports are four Ethernet ports (10/100) and two POTS ports.
Turning Up Your Solution(s) 2 3 4 5 Connect power a Plug the circle two pin 12V DC power connector of power converter to 2510 power port. b Plug the input of power converter into a live AC outlet. c Verify that the power (POWER) LED on the 2510 is lit green indicating that local power is on and voltage is good. Connect telephone (POTS) service a Connect the phone line to a POTS telephone b Plug the wire pair with RJ-11 connector into one of the 2510 RJ-11 phone jacks.
Turning up the zNIDs (the ONTs) zNID GPON 4213 and zNID ETH 4212 Both the zNID GPON 4213 and zNID ETH 4212 are outdoor models. The 4213 has a GPON upstream port. Each has 3 Ethernet ports (10/100) and 2 POTS port downstream. Both use the same housing and follow the same installation procedures. Connect to the network a Remove the fiber tray cover, if necessary, by unscrewing the cover. Then place the cover in a safe location. zn0712 1 The cover may be returned to Zhone.
Turning Up Your Solution(s) b Pull the fiber up into the fiber tray through the rubber grommets in the fiber entry point. Wrap around, using hooks to hold fiber zn0704 Wrap around spools c Run the fiber through the fiber holder and tighten the holder to secure the fiber. d Wrap the cable around the fiber spools. Hooks may be adjusted to align the fiber with the fiber guides.
Turning up the zNIDs (the ONTs) e zn0705 Place SC connector end of fiber segment in SC adaptor. f Line up the screw holes of the electronics enclosure with the screw holes of the fiber tray (eight holes). g Insert screws.
Turning Up Your Solution(s) Line up the holes for the SC connector on both the fiber tray and the electronics enclosure. i Tighten screws. j Insert and tighten the protective screw next to the SC connector to prevent the enclosure from being removed while the fiber is still connected. zn0175 zn0711 h Protective screw Note: Removing the electronics enclosure when the fiber is connected could break the fiber. k 36 FTTH Application Guide Connect the SC connector.
Turning up the zNIDs (the ONTs) WARNING! Risk of eye damage. At all times when handling optical fibers, follow the safety procedures recommended by your company. zn0709 Although Zhone optical products have a Class I certification, hazardous exposure to laser radiation can occur when fibers are connected, disconnected or broken. Handling of optical fibers without dust caps increases the risk of exposure. Exposure to either visible or invisible laser light can damage your eyes under certain conditions.
Turning Up Your Solution(s) 2 Connect power a Remove the 7-wire battery alarm connector on the battery backup unit (BBU), then replace the 7-wire battery alarm connector with the 2-wire battery backup board shipped with the zNID. b Connect the battery wires from the zNID to the BBU. zn0730 Make sure that the red wire is connected to “Vo +” and the white wire is connected to “Vo –”. If not an APC model, be sure to connect the correct wires to the + and - on the BBU.
Turning up the zNIDs (the ONTs) 3 Connect telephone (POTS) service The zNID provides two phone lines. Line one can be used to provide both HPNA and POTS to deliver phone service and any packet services including IPTV, data, and VoIP. Line 2 is used to provide POTS service For the FTTH Application Guide we will use Voice Line 1. For our lab scenario we are going to connect data and video to one of the Ethnernet lines rather than connecting HPNA over the POTS line. We will connect a phone to the POTS port.
Turning Up Your Solution(s) a Connect a Category 5 or a Category 6 cable to an RJ45 interface as shown in Figure 5. For the FTTH Application Guide scenario we will connect the local port to LAN 2 for managing. The data port for the computer will be LAN port 1. For the PC we will be using to emulate a set top box we will connect to LAN port 3. Note: For wire management, it is recommended that the wire wraps around the wire management hooks from left to right.
Troubleshooting the turn-up procedures Troubleshooting the turn-up procedures Table 2: Troubleshooting turn up issues Symptom Discussion Long boot-up time/long time loading software It takes a few minutes for the software to load, but a message will be displayed to the CLI upon completion of the loading of the software. While the card is loading you can give the bootstate 5 command, where “5” is the slot of the card.

OMCI BASED GPON ZNID These examples are designed to be accomplished in a minimum amount of time and provide a foundation for understanding other important network edge access concepts.
OMCI based GPON zNID Overview of the configuration process In this chapter we will talk about how to provision ONTs (or zNIDs) that require OMCI for configuring data, voice and video services. You can learn the latest supported OMCI based GPON zNID models by using the Smart OMCI web tool. How to use this tool will be described in this chapter. In this chapter we will use ZNID-GPON-2510 as an example, and configure the triple play services one at a time.
Overview of the configuration process The Specific profile will be created on ONT in the last step at the bottom of the flowchart, Activate the zNID and add support to the zNID. Once the OMCI profiles are created, if you have similar scenario in other MXKs, you can share the OMCI profile between MXKs by using the gpononu profiles export me|gen|spec and gpononu profiles import me|gen|spec commands. • Create bridge additions Bridge additions include GPON traffic profile (GTP) and packet rule.
OMCI based GPON zNID Figure 7: Configuring bridges by service type The asymmetric bridge types include downlink, uplink, and intralink bridge interfaces. The intralink bridge interface type is used for subtending other MXKs, MALCs, MALC XPs, or Raptor XPs from the MXK via Active Ethernet cards. We will not talk about subtending devices in this chapter, so intralink bridge will not be discussed.
Overview of the configuration process Figure 8: Configuring asymmetric bridges for GPON We will use VLAN 300 for the VoIP bridge. Figure 9: Configuring TLS bridge for GPON The behavior of the TLS bridge is better suited for the downstream initiated calls because the TLS VoIP bridge (VLAN 300 in our example) will be flooded with a request for the MAC address of the VoIP access device if the MAC address is timed out from the MXK’s forwarding table.
OMCI based GPON zNID Create Supports for zNID This procedure describes the creation of the ME profile file, the ME profile, and the Generic profile. In normal deployment you will create profiles for the ONT models and the service plans in initial deployment and seldom afterward, unless you want to add a new ONT model or define another service plan. Adding OMCI support to each user's zNIDs by creating Specific profile will be covered in the application procedures.
Create Supports for zNID Creating ME profile file for ONT Create ME profile file with Zhone Smart OMCI web tool: If you are adding a new ONT you would start at this point. 1 Navigate to the Zhone website at “http://www.zhone.com/support/tools/ omci/”. 2 Access the website by entering the email address and the password selected at registration. Note: skip this step if you are already signed in.
OMCI based GPON zNID 3 Select ONT model. In this example, we select ZNID-GPON-2510. 4 Select the ports on the ONT for data, video and/or voice and associated GEM index. This example creates GEM port ID 5xx for data service on port eth1 and eth2, GEM port ID 7xx for voice service on port POTS1 and POTS2, GEM port ID 9xx for video service on port eth3 and eth4.
Create Supports for zNID Note: Take a note of the ports and GEM index you selected for different service. They are required later when you provisioning services on bridges. VLAN filtering is an optional field. After selecting VLAN Filtering, you can specify how many VLANs the ONT can filter on the LAN facing ports. And later in the Generic profile or Specific profile, you can assign the VLAN IDs for those VLAN filters.
OMCI based GPON zNID 52 FTTH Application Guide 5 Click Create Configuration File button to create an ME profile file.
Create Supports for zNID Creating ME profile for selected ONT model Create ME profile on MXK: 1 Import the ME profile file to the MXK. a Create a directory on the MXK for ME profile file if one doesn’t exist. zSH> mkdir /me b Download the ME profile file to the directory using the file download command. This example downloads the ME profile file ZNID-GPON-2510-omci.txt from source location 182.16.80.201 to the destination location me directory in the MXK, and renames it to 2510-me1.txt.
OMCI based GPON zNID Make sure to specify value to all the service plan related variables in the Generic profile. If there is no default or other value given for a variable, configuration will fail for this ONT when you are activating the ONT unless updates to the Generic profile or Specific profile to provide a value.

Creating uplink and downlink bridge We will create an uplink and downlink bridge for VLAN 100: 1 Create the uplink bridge interface a Add the bridge interface for the uplink. Make sure VLAN ID matches the VLAN ID you assigned for data service in the Generic Profile. This example, data services uses VLAN 100.
Create High Speed Internet on GPON OMCI with Uplink and Downlink Creating Specific profile for new user On MXK create and modify Specific profile for each user; in the case of specific profiles, the OMCI supports are associated with the ONT. Only one Specific profile can be added on an ONT. If you are adding a new user you would start at this point. 1 Create and modify Specific profile.

Create High Speed Internet on GPON OMCI with Uplink and Downlink Activating ONT Activate the ONT to add it to the system. If you are adding multiple services, you would range the ONT after all the services have been added. Note: Only run the gpononu set command once to add the ONT. If the ONT has been activated and the OMCI profiles are configured for other service, you may add other bridges without resetting the ONT. If you change OMCI profiles you will need to resync/reboot the ONT.

Create Video Bridge on GPON OMCI with Uplink and Downlink Create Video Bridge on GPON OMCI with Uplink and Downlink Video bridging is very similar to data bridging, it uses downlink/uplink bridge too, but the GTP, GEM ports and VLANs are different. Creating GPON Traffic Profile Add the GTP. The following GTP is recommended for video: zSH> new gpon-traffic-profile 2 gpon-traffic-profile 2 Please provide the following: [q]uit.
OMCI based GPON zNID You create a downlink bridge on an GPON port with VLAN ID and GTP. You can also specify option video m/n. m indicates the multicast control list, n indicates the maximum video streams. By specifying video 0/4 in this example you can enable subscriptions up to four video streams on the interface without control list checking. If you want to have multicast control list checking, use the new mcast-control-entry command to create a multicast control list first.
Create VoIP on GPON OMCI with TLS bridges 3 4 Ping the video server a Open a DOS window b Ping the upstream gateway (provided in your environment setup) Open the STB emulation software and connect to the video server As long as you can ping you are showing that you have a data path through the zNID and the MXK to the video server. You should be able to connect to the video stream with the STB emulation software.
OMCI based GPON zNID GEM Port 1-4-4-701/gponport has been created on ONU 1-4-4-1/gpononu. Adding bridge on 1-4-4-701/gponport Created bridge-interface-record 1-4-4-701-gponport-300/bridge 3 On MXK, run the bridge show command to view the MAC address of the connected VoIP phone.
Summary Summary All the applications described may be done in sequence as shown in the flowchart. There must be synchronization between the OMCI profiles (particularly regarding GEM ports and VLAN). By activating the ONT you can add it to the system. If you are adding multiple services, you would activate the ONT after all the services have been added. If the OMCI profiles are configured, you may add other bridges without resetting the ONT. If you changed OMCI profiles you will need to resent the ONT.
OMCI based GPON zNID Table 3: Internet access troubleshooting table 66 FTTH Application Guide Symptom Discussion Your laptop has an IP address of 169.xx.xx.xx. Microsoft adds these addresses when an IP address is not obtainable. Once you have the access situation rectified, (Assuming you are using a windows based machine) you may need to open a command prompt on the PC and do an ipconfig/release, then an ipconfig/ renew to resolve it.
GPON AND ACTIVE ETHERNET UI BASED ZNID In this chapter we will build triple play solutions using the browser based GPON zNID, Active Ethernet zNID and the MXK by building bridges for each of the component solutions — data, video, and voice — on separate VLANs as they would be done in a real world environment. As discussed earlier (Section 1, VLANs for the data, video and voice services) we will use separate VLANs for data, video and voice.
GPON and Active Ethernet UI based zNID 2-8Mbps or even higher and all of the packets for one channel are in a single packet flow. That is, all of the packets for a single channel look nearly identical except for the data being transported. Source and destination addresses, Quality of Service (QoS) markings, and port numbers are the same for every packet streaming down from the provider's network to the end-user's STB.
steps, even comments; the duplication of procedures is for those who only read the procedure that interests them.
GPON and Active Ethernet UI based zNID Deploying and managing overview There are a couple of models for configuring and deploying the browser-based zNIDs: • Design, build, test, copy and deploy • TR-069 server For this application guide we will use the design, build, test, copy and deploy deployment model. Design, build, test and deploy With the design, build, test, copy and deploy model, you design how you want the zNID to work using different configuration options.
Deploying and managing overview 6 Deploy At this point you would individualize the zNID for the specific customer. For example you would set the phone number at this time. Once the unit is installed, if the zNID is configured (the MXK from our example), you should be able to field test the unit. The GPON zNID must be activated before testing. TR-069 server With the TR-069 server deployment model. You configure the file as above, but do not deploy to the unit.
GPON and Active Ethernet UI based zNID Overview of the configuration process We are using separate procedures to reduce confusion; and though we could configure each zNID for all services at once and could configure all the bridges in one step as well, for the sake of clarity in our discussions we will configure the services one at a time. With the browser-based zNID the order is not as important. In fact, you can configure the bridges first, then configure the zNID.
Overview of the configuration process be able to get the MAC address of the VoIP supplying access device (in this case the zNID). If there is no activity on the VoIP bridge, then the MAC address of the VoIP supplying access device will eventually time out the MAC address of the VoIP in the bridge forwarding table. Unlike the downlink of an asymmetric bridge, the TLS bridge will flood all the bridge interfaces of the TLS VoIP VLAN and rediscover the VoIP supplying access device.
GPON and Active Ethernet UI based zNID Figure 15: Configuring asymmetric bridges for GPON We will use VLAN 300 for the VoIP bridge, and connect out to the Metaswitch softswitch server using SIP.
Configuring browser-based GPON zNIDs Configuring browser-based GPON zNIDs Configuring a bridge for data, GPON To configure a bridge to the zNID, you must have a bridge on the MXK (The GPON card acts as the OLT; in fact, each port can be considered a separate OLT). To build a bridge that reaches the subscriber devices bridges need to be built on the zNID. For each service we will be adding a separate bridge with its own VLAN. For the data and video services we will set up an uplink and downlink bridge.

Configuring browser-based GPON zNIDs Creating an uplink and downlink bridge on the MXK We will create an uplink and downlink for VLAN 200. 1 Create uplink and add bridge-path The switch which is upstream from our MXK is providing a network on VLAN 200. The packets are tagged from the switch.The bridge-path add command defines this bridge interface as the uplink for the VLAN 200 downlinks.
GPON and Active Ethernet UI based zNID 1 Discover the open ONTs on the line using the gpononu show command In the gpononu show command we will limit to the card to reduce the amount of time the discovery will take. We could even have limited it to the port as well (gpononu show 4/1). If there are a lot of optical distribution networks (ODNs) on the MXK, commands like gpononu show without further qualifiers will attempt to do discovery for all of them.
Configuring browser-based GPON zNIDs 1 In the Network Connections screen you should see the Status as Connected The view above is the advanced view (click the Advanced button). 2 Open a DOS window and ping the upstream gateway (provided in your environment setup) If you cannot ping it means you do not have data access to your gateway. If you show connected on the WAN PON and the bridge, it means you have access on VLAN 200. You should be able to verify the gateway is up by pinging from the MXK.
GPON and Active Ethernet UI based zNID Configuring IPTV, GPON We will use the fast path feature to define a 999 VLAN which pushes the packets directly out to LAN port 3.

GPON and Active Ethernet UI based zNID Testing the IPTV bridge Since we are using a laptop and software to emulate a set top box, we can ping out to the video server. 1 Ping the upstream gateway (provided in your environment setup) If you cannot ping it means you do not have data access to your gateway. If you show connected on the WAN PON and the bridge, it means you have access on VLAN 200. You should be able to verify the gateway is up by pinging from the MXK.
Configuring VoIP, GPON Configuring VoIP, GPON Instead of using an uplink-downlink bridge for VoIP, we will use a TLS bridge. The TLS bridge allows for bridge forwarding table timeouts, so if the MAC address has timed out, incoming calls from the softswitch will flood the TLS bridge and relearn the MAC address.

GPON and Active Ethernet UI based zNID Configuring browser-based Active Ethernet zNIDs Configuring a bridge for data, Active Ethernet Just as with the GPON solution to configure a bridge to the zNID, you must have a bridge on the MXK (The Active Ethernet card acts as the OLT; in fact, each port can be considered a separate OLT). To build a bridge that reaches the subscriber devices bridges need to be built on the zNID. For each service we will be adding a separate bridge with its own VLAN.

APPENDIX: HANDLING FIBER In this appendix we will briefly introduce some issues when working with a fiber optic network. This section is not intended to be comprehensive, nor to describe any of the issues in great detail, but more as a warning that fiber, while it has many performance advantages than copper, fiber requires a different discipline than copper in its use.
Appendix: Handling fiber Parts of the fiber optic cable Fiber cable consists of three main parts: the fiber core, cladding and coating. The core is the media where the light travels. Figure 25: Parts of the cable • Fiber Core The glass transport media • Cladding Cladding is a cushioning layer of glass resin which reflects light back into the core. • Coating The coating layer is usually a durable plastic, teflon, rubber, or similar material to protect the cladding and fiber core.
Parts of the fiber optic cable UPC connectors are used for connecting to the MXK GPON line card. UPC connectors have a -.55dB reflectance value. • APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector APC connectors are used for connecting to zNIDs. APC connectors have an industry standard 8 degree angle on the end face of ferrule and have a -.65db reflectance value.
Appendix: Handling fiber • Store unused dust caps in re-sealable containers to prevent them from becoming contaminated with dust or other particulates which could then contaminate the ferrule. Installation testing When installing fiber, especially GPON installations, you should have a link loss budget map, then as you install components, test the attenuation before and after each component. This testing should include testing before and after long leads.
Parts of the fiber optic cable Bending the fiber optical cable too far may also damage the fiber itself by creating micro cracks in the glass. Most industry standards describe one inch as the minimum bend on a fiber optic cable, though a good rule of thumb is to keep the bend radius greater than two inches. Connector loss Each connector or component in the Optical Deployment Network may have an effect on signal loss.
Appendix: Handling fiber WARNING! Exposure to invisible LASER radiation may cause serious retinal damage or even blindness. WARNING! Verify the optical source is disabled through the use of an optical power meter before handling optical fibers WARNING! Wear safety glasses when installing optical fibers WARNING! Clean hands after handling optical fibers • Small pieces of glass are not always visible and can cause eye damage • Get medical assistance immediately for any glass that comes into eye contact.
