LABEL

DESCRIPTION

MAC Address

This is the LAN interface MAC (Media Access Control) address unique to your GPON

 

Device. The MAC address uses six pairs of hexadecimal notation and follows an

 

industry standard that ensures no other adapter has the same address.

 

 

Transceiver Status

 

 

 

Temperature

This displays the transceiver’s temperature in Celsius. The normal range is 0-70

 

degrees.

 

 

Voltage

This displays the transceiver’s voltage in Volts. The normal range is 3.13-3.47 Volts.

 

 

Bias Current

This displays the transceiver’s bias current in mA. The normal range is 4-50 mA.

 

 

Optical Tx Power

This displays the transceiver’s optical transmitting power in dBm. The normal range is

 

.5 to 5 dBm.

 

 

Optical Rx Power

This displays the transceiver’s optical receiving power in dBm. The normal range is -6

 

to -28 dBm.

 

 

System Status

 

 

 

System Uptime

This field displays how long the GPON Device has been running since it last started up.

 

The GPON Device starts up when you turn it on, when you restart it (Maintenance >

 

Tools > Restart), or when you reset it.

 

 

CPU Usage

This field displays what percentage of the GPON Device’s processing ability is currently

 

used. When this percentage is close to 100%, the GPON Device is running at full load,

 

and the throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you want some applications to

 

have more throughput, you should turn off other applications.

 

 

Memory Usage

This field displays what percentage of the GPON Device’s memory is currently used.

 

Usually, this percentage should not increase much. If memory usage gets close to

 

100%, the GPON Device is probably becoming unstable. Restart it (see Section 5.10

 

on page 25, or turn it off for a few seconds.

 

 

Interface Status

 

 

 

Interface

This column identifies the interface on the GPON Device.

 

 

Status

This field displays Up when the interface has a connection and Down when it does

 

not.

 

 

Rate

This field displays the connection speed of the WAN interface’s PON connection when it

 

is connected. This field displays the connection speed and duplex for a connected LAN

 

interface.
