Title
Development of monitoring system for FTTH-PON using combined ACS and SANTAD
Abstract
This paper proposes a design of Access Control System (ACS) for fiber-to-the-home passive optical network (FTTH-PON). Our design works on a standard local area network using a specially designed hardware interfaced with a microcontroller integrated Ethernet to monitor the status of optical signals flow and provides the restoration against fiber failures-faults in FTTH-PON. We also introduce the centralized troubleshooting system by means of Smart Access Network Testing, Analyzing, and Database (SANTAD). ACS is the subsystem that controls the troubleshooting mechanism carried out by SANTAD. This design will be implemented together with optical line terminal (OLT) at central office (CO) to centralized monitoring and for controlling each optical fiber line's status as well as detecting any failure that occurs in the network system downwardly from CO toward multiple optical network units at different customer residential locations. The scope of this discussion highlighted only the monitoring and controlling instead of the restoration scheme offered. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. An excellent combination of Access Control System (ACS) and Smart Access Network Testing, Analyzing and Database (SANTAD) is introduced as an in-service transmission surveillance application and protection-based approach for fiber failures over fiber-to-the-home passive optical network (FTTH-PON). ACS is a functional tool for routing the optical signal as well as activates the protection switching in the restoration process, meanwhile SANTAD is the optical network monitoring and management system tool named for network monitoring and failures-degradations detection.
