What is an OLT emulator - eOLT?
- Tests ONU conformance easily;
- fully controls test scenarios;
- can be automated and easily integrated into a test set-up;
- is neutral, compliant and interoperable.
What are the key features of an OLT emulator?
- Work on every step of an ONU configuration or run complete scenarios at will;
- create their own tests, modify existing tests or play with current tests libraries;
- work with one or several ONUs at once.
What are the key advantages of the MT2 OLT emulator - eOLT?
- Access to the layered analysis (PLOAM/OMCI view, GEM Port, BWMap…) views during the tests;
- share easily the results of your test using common formats (HTML, PDF,...);
- choose a neutral and compliant solution with no commercial chipset and no commercial OMCI stack;
- multi-standards supported: G.984.x (G-PON)/G.987.x (XG-PON)/G.9807.x(XGS-PON)/G.989.x(NG-PON2)/G.988(OMCI);
- test scenarios can be easily modified for specific needs;
- tests are fully automated.
What are the applications of MT2 eOLT emulator?
Among the key applications, MT2 eOLT emulator can be used to:
● Test and validate an ONU. It is the perfect tool to test equipments during the R&D phase or preparing for a network deployment;
● highlight Interoperability issues. In a multiple vendor scheme, service providers experience miscommunication between OLT and ONUs. MT2 eOLT will allow to reproduce interoperability issues in a controlled environment, quickening problems resolution and preventing regressions;
● diagnose and refurbish faulty ONUs. MT2 offers a refurbishing test library which service providers and their partners can use to test faulty ONUs. Once again, thanks to its automation capabilities, the tests of the faulty ONUs can be fully automated;
● prepare and pass the BBF.247 certification program. Thanks to existing test libraries, MT2 offers the official certification test program. This library allows ONU vendors to prepare for the certification and test their own equipment before going through the certification process.

MT2 eOLT emulator firmwares
For each ITU standards, MT2 offers a different eOLT firmware. Here are the concerned standards:
- G-PON
- XG-PON;
- XGS-PON;
- NG-PON2.
BBF.247 tests library
The BBF.247 certification is an ONU conformance test-plan with a focus on ONU configuration (OMCI) and QoS.
This certification aims to insure ONUs maturity and compliance to market and operators’ requirements. It paves the way to integration and interoperability.
The BBF.247 test plan is now at its fourth version. The latest update for issue 4 includes:
● Inclusion of the IR-247 issue 3 amendment 1;
● inclusion of the IR-247 issue 3 amendment 2;
● addition of the support XGS-PON ONUs;
● addition of the support of several advanced & enhanced functionalities based on TR-280 requirements;
● addition of the support of new profiles;
● addition of the support of several additional functional features based on TR-156 requirements.

Created in 2009, the BBF.247 certification applies to :
● G-PON ONUs;
● XG-PON ONUs ;
● and now to XGS-PON ONUs.
There’s only one laboratory that is authorized by the Broadband Forum to perform the BBF.247 certification test: LANPark lab. For the tests, LANPark uses MT2 PON Analyzer and MT2 OLT emulator. The scripts used in the tests are co-developed by MT2 and LANPark teams.
