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.
For both the OMCI based and browser based models we will build examples
of common residential access applications:
Data
Video
Vo ice
Triple Play (data, video, and voice on the same zNID)
The guide takes you from opening the shipping boxes to configuring the
solutions. For an understanding of the process, please see Getting to work on
page 23. To get right to the configuration sections, please see Chapter 3,
OMCI based GPON zNID, on page 43 or Chapter 4, GPON and Active
Ethernet UI based zNID, on page 67.
Overview of the configuration process
We will configure each type of scenario OMCI GPON, browser-based
GPON, or browser-based Active Ethernet — separately to avoid confusion.
However, to highlight the similarities among the three deployments we will
describe the configuration process together and note the differences.
Differences between GPON and Active Ethernet
deployments
Configuring for GPON and Active Ethernet deployments are fairly similar,
though there are some differences. With both you configure the zNID, create
any bridge additions, then build the bridges with the bridge add command
including the bridge addtions. With Active Ethernet once the zNID is
configured and the bridges are built the zNID is on the network and
communicating. With GPON you need to create a GPON traffic descriptor
(GTP) as well as any of the other bridge additions. after you build the bridges
for GPON (both OMCI and browser based) there is another step; you also
