All productsHuawei SmartAX MA5600T multi-service access module which can be used as the large-capacity gpon olt, ip deslam and msan. As a series of large-/medium-/small-capacity devices, they share the same software platform and service boards.
Even though some ISPs have upgraded into MA5800 new series which can support 10G symmetrical service boards, not a few clients still choose to deploy MA5600T old series OLT and GPON boards due to lower CapEx and 10G GPON less application.
To avoid deployment delay due to equipment dead on arrival, we will do a comprehensive test before storage and delivery to the client. In this article, we will introduce in detail how we test the MA5600T OLT by taking MA5683T as an example:
Tools, Equipment, and Materials
SecureCRT
Test Procedure
Step 1: Choose Huawei MA5683T with SCUN and GPFD for testing.
Step 2: Connect Computer and CON port on SCUN by a Console Cable.
Step 3: Insert GPFD C+, power on MA5683T system.
Step 4: Observe the board indicator light, and lights change from red to green and glint once every second;
Step 5: Login MA5683T via Secure CRT, input the command “display board 0” to check board status;

Step 6: Input command “display version ” to check chassis version of MA5683T.
Command:
display version
VERSION : MA5600V800R013C10
PATCH : SPC205
PRODUCT : MA5683T
Step 7: Check the two main control board SCUN share the same R13 software version.

All firmware should be provided by the client and obtained from legally authorized way.
Step 8: check GPFD board status and its optical module status.

Step 9: Enter into GPFD GPON port, and detect whether the GPON module works normally.
Case 1: MA5683T(config)#interface gpon 0/5/0
F/S/P 0/5/0
Optical Module status Online
Port state Offline
Laser state Normal
Available bandwidth(Kbps) 1238420
Temperature(C) 31
TX Bias current(mA) 13
Supply Voltage(V) 3.32
TX power(dBm) 5.01
Illegal rogue ONT Inexistent
Max Distance(Km) 60
Wave length(nm) 1490
Fiber type Single Mode
Length(9μm)(km) -
According to Huawei official specification, the normal TX power range of GPON module is:
B+ 1.5~5dBm
C+ 3~7dBm
C++ 6~10dBm
In case 1, 0/5/0 GPON module TX power is 5.01dBm, which shows the module works normally.
Case 2: MA5683T(config)#interface gpon 0/5/3
F/S/P 0/5/3
Optical Module status Online
Port state Offline
Laser state Normal
Available bandwidth(Kbps) 1239040

Supply Voltage(V) 3.29
TX power(dBm) 2.23
Illegal rogue ONT Inexistent
Max Distance(Km) 60
Wave length(nm) 1490
Fiber type Single Mode
Length(9μm)(km) -
In case 2, 0/5/3 GPON module TX power is 3.22dBm, some weaker, which means abnormal. Pls also note if TX Bias current, Supply Voltage, and TX power(dBm) are messy code and blank, which all indicate modules are faulty.
From our testing experience, faulty optical modules account for the vast majority of our test entries and have been eliminated once tested defective.Thus, we cannot judge it only based on its indicator glint and display the status of the GPON board, we must check every GPON module TX power via commend. Therefore, in addition to appearance inspection, inserting board into OLT to check GPON module status is necessary before each purchase.
From above you can see, our test entries include system version, hardware, and software, all SFP module TX power, etc. Once the test is finished, we will issue a test report attached to the OLT package. Thanks to our strict quality control, customers seldom report issues during their deployment process, so will you purchase other unreliable or even defective equipment, only for a 3-5% little price gap?
