2 Connection Procedures
The GPON Doctor™ can be connected anywhere within the PON. By using a self-
calibration function, it recognises its position within the network and adapts itself
accordingly. However, there is a minimum set of steps that need to be considered for an
optimum performance.
2.1 How to connect the GPON Doctor™ to a PON
The GPON Doctor™ is connected in parallel to the PON, meaning that the network traffic
(either upstream or downstream) does not pass through the GPON Doctor™.
By means of splitters, part of the optical budget is forwarded to the GPON Doctor™
without affecting the normal operation of the PON. The GPON Doctor™ needs two points
of connection to the PON, one to collect downstream information (from the OLT to the
ONTs) and the second to collect the upstream information (from the ONTs to the OLT).
Depending on the model of the GPON Doctor™ the connection is done in a slightly
different way.
GPON Doctor™ 9500 has to be always connected to an external splitter (either the one
provided with the analyzer or through existing ones within the PON). See figure below.
