    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for visualizing network data. In some implementations, a server receives a query for network traffic playback data of network devices. The server extracts data from the query. The server obtains historical network traffic data. The server generates the network playback data by: (i) obtaining a plurality of historical network traffic elements from the historical network traffic data associated with a network device, (ii) obtaining state transitional data for each historical network traffic element of the plurality of historical network traffic elements, (iii) determining whether the state transitional data for each historical network traffic element comprises the prior state, and (iv) in response to determining the state transitional data comprises the prior state, the server appends the state transitional data to the network playback data. The server filters and provides the network playback data.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, implementing an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) that successfully communicates with Optical Network Terminals having various ONT Management Control Interface (OMCI) parameter configurations. The OLT is configured to perform operations including determining that two different sets of OMCI parameters are required to communicate with two different ONTs and registering both of the two different ONTs using two different sets of OMCI parameters. The registration includes configuring communications with a first ONT using a first set of OMCI parameters and configuring communications with a second ONT using a second set of OMCI parameters that differs from the first set of OMCI parameters. After completing the registering, the OLT exchanges network traffic with each of the two different ONTs according to their respective configurations.

    摘要: A configurable connector is provided for a communication device, such as a gateway, that is located outdoors. The connector can engage with a corresponding interface of the gateway to provide communication signals and power signals to the communication device. The connector can be configured to select the power type provided to the communication device via the connector. The connector can have a first configuration to provide a first power type to the communication device or a second configuration to provide a second power type to the communication device. In the first configuration of the connector, power terminals of the connector can be connected directly to corresponding power wires providing the first power type. In the second configuration, the power terminals of the connector can be connected by jumpers to supplemental terminals in the connector that receive the second power type from the communication device.

    摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for ensuring proper installation of telecommunication equipment. A system in some embodiments has a mobile device equipped with an image sensor that is used to acquire one or more images of a telecommunication equipment component that has been installed. The mobile device may then evaluate at least one such image to determine whether the component has been correctly installed. In addition, the evaluation performed by the mobile device may also be used to ensure that a captured image of the component meets certain predefined criteria for helping the user to capture a quality image of the component for the purpose of proving that it has been correctly installed. Thus, it is more likely that the image will be later useful for establishing that the component has been correctly installed, thereby possibly preventing the need for a truck roll.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for an artificial intelligence system. In one aspect, a system includes multiple artificial intelligence skill agents that have each been trained to perform different actions in a telecommunications system. The system also includes an orchestrator agent that interacts with each of the artificial intelligence skill agents and coordinates which of the artificial intelligence agents performs actions in response to user inputs. The orchestrator agent receives a user input and determines an intent expressed by the user input. The orchestrator agent transmits an instruction to an artificial intelligence skill agent to perform an action that provides a response to the intent. In response to receiving the instruction from the orchestrator agent, the artificial intelligence skill agent performs the action when the artificial intelligence skill agent is capable of carrying out the action.

    摘要: A system for detecting an optical network condition, such as a fiber bend, has an optical line terminal (OLT) that is configured to communicate control information with optical network terminals (ONTs) indicating the transmit power levels and the receive power levels of optical signals, such as optical data signals, that are communicated between the OLT and the ONTs. Based on such information, line losses at different wavelengths are determined and then compared in order to detect an optical network condition, such as a fiber bend. Since the measurements can be performed on optical data signals ordinarily communicated between the OLT and the ONTs, the testing may be performed during data communication. Further, as long as optical communication between the OLT and the ONTs is possible, a fiber bend or other network condition may be detected at any point along the optical path.

One or more worker modules register with one or more work administrators. The worker modules may inform the work administrators of their processing capabilities and capacity. The work administration system receives a request for processing via the API. A work administrator parses a request into one or more discrete work requests and publishes each work request to the worker modules. The worker modules notify the work administrator whether they can perform the work, along with load and capabilities. The work administrator a worker module to perform each work request. When a worker module completes the work, it notifies the work administrator. The work administration system may aggregate the results from one or more worker modules and provide a response via the API.

    摘要: A laser tuning system includes an optical transmitter having a tunable laser that transmits optical signals at various wavelengths to an optical fiber through an optical component, which attenuates a range of wavelengths of the optical signal. An optical detector detects optical returns that have been reflected from the fiber at points beyond the optical component. A tuning control module analyzes the optical returns in order to provide a tuning value for tuning the laser to a desired wavelength. As an example, the laser may be tuned in order to maximize or otherwise increase the amount of optical power passing through the optical component.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus for provisioning a network device are disclosed. In one aspect, a message is received by a translation device from a controller. A determination is made, by the translation device, that the received message includes data that is destined for multiple different downstream network devices. A determination is made that a first downstream network device among the multiple different downstream network devices is incapable of being provisioned using a communications protocol of the received message. Data from the received message, that is destined for the first downstream network device, is translated, by the translation device, from the communications protocol of the received message to a translated message defined in a different protocol that is required to provision the first downstream network device. The translated message is transmitted, by the translation device, to the first downstream network device according to the different protocol.

    摘要: A system for performing failover switches in an optical network, such as a time and wavelength division passive optical networks (TWDM PON) like NG-PON2, includes a backup optical line terminal (OLT) for backing up communications of a primary OLT. The backup OLT is configured to allocate small upstream time slots, referred to herein as “de minimis” time slots, to at least one optical network terminal (ONT) communicating with the primary OLT during normal operation. When a failure occurs that prevents communication between the ONT and the primary OLT, the ONT autonomously tunes to the upstream and downstream wavelength pairs of the backup OLT and begins to transmit data to the backup OLT in the de minimis time slot allocated to it. The presence of data in the de minimis time slot indicates the occurrence of a failover switch to the backup OLT, and the backup OLT then begins to allocate time slots to this ONT, which is normally serviced by the primary OLT according to its normal TDM algorithm.
