- Add an ONT to an existing PON and get it activated on the PON
- Log into the OLT and verify the ONT status, verify the configuration is good
- Check the light levels on both ONT and OLT, add attenuation as needed
- Add optics to the OLT and run a fiber to the upstream BNG to establish physical connectivity
- Set up the profiles on the BNG to dynamically add new subscribers
- Ensure the ONT is manageably by the NMS (ADTRAN AOE or Nokia AMS or similar management systems)
- Connect a Spirent Test Center 10G port to the ONT UNI
- Send DHCP traffic from the STC up the network
- Log into the BNG and check to see the subscriber status
- Track the DHCP server response to make sure the response was received by STC to establish a successful connection
- Set up multiple upstream and downstream traffic flows with varying sizes to test the network performance and scale
- Verify the traffic at different aggregation points in the network (ONT, OLT PON port, backplane, OLT uplink, BNG downlink, routing table etc.)
- Apply the necessary static route configuration on the BNG to establish management connectivity to the OLTs
Job Description & Responsibilities
- Set up validation test beds in the lab involving Nokia 7750 Service Router, Nokia & ADTRAN OLTs, optical splitters, GPON & XGS-PON ONTs, WiFi routers, aggregation &
management switches
- Develop test plans to validate features & functionality in the access network space (BNG, OLTs & ONTs) for ultra-speed residential internet services and Enterprise network connectivity services (Ethernet, MPLS, wavelength based)
- Perform the necessary testing using 3rd party traffic generation tools such as IXIA and Spirent
- Review & troubleshoot issues in the test bed and traffic generators during test execution
- Work with the equipment vendors and internal teams to provision, validate and troubleshoot services
