The eOLT is a GPON OLT Emulator based on a high performance FPGA-based optical processing unit, and controlled through a dedicated GUI software client installed on a PC. eOLT is the official BBF.247 certification testbed, with test scripts avaiable for both BBF.247 & TR-255, it is also possible to adapt existing scripts or to create new scripts through the Javascript language.
The eOLT emulator uses a neutral independent architecture and OMCI stack, it is independent of any chipset. It incorporates ONU bring-up management (automated and manual), and allows real time traffic forwarding in both directions.
Scripting is a key feature of the eOLT with scripting being possible through the javascript language, existing test scripts can be modified or new scripts can be created to target specific operational needs. High level management, OMCI and automation primitives are provided (with their source code and API documentation) to facilitate script writing and test management.
An adaptation layer is provided, to control a traffic generator: this adaptation layer may be used as a template to create adaptation layers for other traffic generators.
The eOLT G-PON is based on the same powerful Client-Server architecture as the NIVA GPON analyser. The Client GUI offers a CLI and Script management interface, the GUI can also remote control a traffic generator.
Advanced automation is possible providing time-saving capabilities, for example different scripts can be executed one after the other for different ONU's.
With the eOLT emulator, you can easily test the ONUs behavior and its conformance by:
OLT emulators are used to:
The eOLT emulator can work with one or several ONUs at once and is able to mimic the working of any PON OLT in the field. eOLT offers a capture & replay feature which allows to reproduce a behavior observed on the field in your lab.
