EPON test challenges,why we need EPON protocol analysis tester?

For EPON development and troubleshooting, we can't know what happened in EPON link if we can't to inspect the PON link. Some issues bothers the Engineer constantly, such as:

1.      How about the ONU register to OLT and why the ONU deregister?

2.      The ONU can't register to OLT, whether the ONU send the error register packet or the OLT don't accept the ONU register.

3.      If packet loss, it's OLT? Or ONU?  Which ONU?

4.      The OAM is failure, you don't know whether the OLT's message is incorrect or the ONU don't have response.

5.      ^…

So it's time to try the WireShoot

EPON tester features: 

1.      WireShoot is the complete EPON analysis system that maximizes the effectiveness of engineers that design or dimension EPON product by giving them a tool to rapidly isolate the specific causes of performance or protocol conformance issues.

2.      Provides a detailed insight into the structure of bandwidth management messages, uncovering protocol issues that are the underlying causes of performance issues.

3.      Monitoring the traffic and EPON protocols (MPCP & OAM) between the ONU & OLT, providing in-depth protocol analysis

4.      Providing convenient tools for EPON monitoring, performance analysis, and trouble shooting

5.      Rapidly isolates performance issues to the ONU or the OLT. Engineers can determine whether they should debug an ONU or an OLT_this greatly decreases test time as knowing where to look to solve problems.

6.      Engineers can verify compliance to the 802.3ah & CTC specification and ensure "interoperability readiness" of ONUs/OLTs.

7.      Conformance with 802.3ah

8.      Conformance with CTC extended
