Overview

The VIAVI ONT-804D is the four-slot, touchscreen version of the ONT-800 optical network tester mainframe. It is a multi-protocol, multi-port test platform for research and development and system verification of optical transport ICs, modules and systems. The ONT-800 builds on the ONT-600 to provide the bandwidth, power and cooling needed for testing at 600G per lambda and beyond, and it remains compatible with ONT-600 modules.

The ONT-804D holds four hot-swappable application modules and carries a 15-inch TFT touchscreen, which makes it suited to stand-alone lab use. It runs a Linux operating system with VNC-based remote operation and can run stand-alone software such as Wireshark on its controller board. A rack mount kit is available as an accessory.

Control and automation

All ONT application modules share the same graphical interface, automation and scripting environment. The mainframe is controlled remotely through SCPI commands over the LAN port; modules are addressed independently and in parallel and can be shared among multiple users and across mainframes network-wide. Scripting support covers Tcl/Tk, Python, C libraries and LabView, and the interactive GUI works alongside remote control while automated scripts are developed.

Synchronization

The mainframe controller and clock module provides an internal master clock with ±1.0 ppm accuracy plus BNC, Bantam and Time of Day inputs and outputs for external synchronization. An optional factory-fitted GNSS receiver with rubidium oscillator supports GPS, Glonass, Beidou and Galileo for high-accuracy time and frequency references.
