C-Data and DBC EPON OLT monitoring

The most common OLT on the small ISP fleets we monitor, sold under C-Data's own name and as DBC, the EPOLT-3304 class among them. This page exists because we have run this family on live networks.

What you get on this OLT

• The ONU roster and who is online. Yes, every PON, every ONU, with the name your staff typed into the OLT beside it.
• Optical power for every ONU, with 30 days of history. Yes, with a short one-time setup, which we do with you.
• A fibre cut or power cut call when a PON goes dark. Yes, with a short one-time setup, which we do with you. See optical monitoring.
• A stretch of fibre to search on a cut. Yes, as an estimate.
• Traffic on each subscriber's drop. Yes, per ONU, not just the total on the PON.
• Port up or down, port rates and OLT health. Yes.
• The subscriber's router matched to the ONU it hangs off. Yes, and that is what feeds the billing-book join.
• The OLT's own web pages from the dashboard. Yes, with no port forwarding.
• A reading you can trust. A dead sensor shows as unmeasured, never as a healthy or a critical number.

What you do not get

• The stretch of fibre to search is an estimate. It says where to start walking, not where to cut.
• One ONU going dark alone pages nobody. The call is for a group.
• ONU provisioning and remote ONU reboot. HansaNet monitors; the OLT's own UI configures.

Getting started

Enable SNMP read only for the probe. Some families need one extra credential, which we set up with you. Nothing is installed on the OLT.

Rs 3 a month for each ONU seen online in the last seven days, and the OLT itself counts as one monitored device. See pricing.
