Table 3 Status (continued)
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 |
| degrees. |
|
|
Voltage | This displays the transceiver’s voltage in Volts. The normal range is |
|
|
Bias Current | This displays the transceiver’s bias current in mA. The normal range is |
|
|
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 |
| to |
|
|
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. |
