The Catastrophic Impact of Continuous Wave Lasers
In TDMA optical architectures, subscribers take turns transmitting upstream in allocated microsecond timeslots. A rogue ONU with a blown driver diode transmits continuously, blinding the OLT SFP receiver.
OLT Hardware Detection Commands
Enable anti-rogue protection via OLT firmware commands. The OLT instructs downstream nodes to go silent sequentially, measuring which optical port fails to cut its transmitter.
Autonomous Quarantine with fiberNox
fiberNox intercepts optical jamming syslog alarms, de-authorizes the malfunctioning subscriber profile remotely, and notifies technical managers immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Rogue ONU?+
An ONU with damaged transmitter firmware that emits continuous un-timed laser light, jamming upstream TDMA traffic.
