¶ 📡 Power Limits
The Power Limits feature allows optical signal restrictions to be defined for ONU/ONT provisioning. This ensures that only devices operating within acceptable power levels are activated on the network.
¶ 🔐 Access Control
| Operation | Responsible Party |
|---|---|
| Creation | Customer |
| Editing | Customer |
| Viewing | Customer |
Power limits can be configured and managed directly by the customer.
¶ 🔑 Required Permission
The user must have permission to edit Network Infrastructure in order to create and modify power limits.
¶ 🧩 Power Limit Details
📌 Fields marked with * are required.
| Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| OLT | Defines the OLT where the limit will be applied | ✅ |
| Chassis | Identification of the OLT chassis | ❌ |
| Slot | OLT slot where the limit will be applied | ❌ |
| Port (PON) | Specific port/PON where the limit will be applied | ❌ |
| Power Limit (ONU RX) * | Minimum acceptable optical power received by the ONU (in dBm) | ✅ |
| Power Limit (OLT RX) | Minimum acceptable optical power received by the OLT (in dBm) | ❌ |
| Description | Additional information used to identify the rule | ❌ |
¶ ⚙️ Advanced Configuration
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| OLT Scope | Applies the limit to the entire OLT when only the OLT field is specified |
| Slot Scope | Allows the limit to be restricted to a specific slot |
| PON Scope | Applies the limit to a specific port/PON |
| Provisioning Validation | Blocks provisioning if the power level is below the configured limit |
¶ 🎯 Available Actions
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Register | Creates a new power limit |
| Update | Saves changes made to the limit |
| Delete | Removes a configured power limit |
💡 When you click Save/Update, the system will automatically validate power levels during provisioning.
¶ 📋 Registration Example
Power limits can be created directly by the customer through the system interface.
| Field | Example Value |
|---|---|
| OLT | Teste Automatico HUAWEI |
| Chassis | 0 |
| Slot | 2 |
| Port (PON) | 14 |
| Power Limit (ONU RX) | -30.0 dBm |
| Power Limit (OLT RX) | -30.0 dBm |
¶ 🧩 Business Rule
The power limit acts as a safety mechanism during provisioning.
| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| Power level within the limit | Provisioning allowed |
| Power level below the limit (e.g. -28 dBm with a -27 dBm limit) | Provisioning blocked |
💡 This validation prevents activations with poor signal quality, reducing operational issues and field rework.
