How to configure the logical distance of GPON

How to configure the logical distance of GPON devices, below is the

details, and the related products can be:

The module: GPFD, GPBH, XGBC, GPBD;

The OLT devices: MA5683T, MA5680T, MA5608T, MA5603T, MA5600T,

MA5606T;
The ONT devices: HG8010H GPON Terminal, HG8240F GPON Terminal,
HG8245A GPON Terminal, HG8245 GPON Terminal, HG8240 GPON Terminal,
HG8010 GPON Terminal, HG8247 GPON Terminal and so on.

The configuration:
The port range command is used to configure the maximum and minimum
logical distance. During ranging for an ONT, the appropriate maximum and
minimum logical distance can avoid long-term impact on normal services of
other ONTs.
After this command is executed, the ONT will be re-authenticated and go
online again.
The undo port range command is used to restore the ranging
compensation distance of a GPON port to the default value.

Usage Guidelines

Run the config command to enter global config mode, and then run the interface
gpon command to enter GPON mode.

Ranging refers to the OLT calculation of the delay of each ONT based on the
physical distance of the ONT to prevent the conflict of the upstream data from
different ONTs.
o

When the ranging starts, the OLT sends a ranging message to the ONT
and starts waiting for the ONT response. When the OLT is waiting for the
ONT response, the services of the other ONTs are unavailable.
Therefore, the period of waiting for the ONT response needs to be
shortest-possible.
Usage of the minimum distance: After sending a ranging
message, the OLT determines beforehand the start time of waiting
for the ONT response according to the preset minimum distance.
Usage of the maximum distance: After sending a ranging
message, the OLT determines the end time of waiting for the ONT
response according to the preset maximum distance.
Ensure the following when configuring the minimum and maximum
distance:
For GPON boards, maximum distance - minimum distance <= 20
km
For XG-PON boards, maximum distance - minimum distance <=
40 km
Actual physical distance between the OLT and ONT (maximum
distance + minimum distance)/2
