Description

Optical network unit and its alarm method

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to an optical network unit and an alarm method thereof.

Background technique

In recent years, technologies and services based on next-generation networks have gradually matured, and various network applications have become more and more abundant. The demand for information from users has exploded, and the requirements for network capacity, speed, quality, and service are also increasing. high. The demand for global broadband users is showing the following four characteristics: the requirement for continuous non-disruptive broadband access, the requirement for multi-service interaction capability, the refinement of selective requirements for service categories and service levels, and the uplink transmission bandwidth. Special requirements. FTTH (Fiber To The Home: Fiber to the Home) will replace the old technology and become the mainstream of next-generation broadband access applications. After more than ten years of development, new FTTH technologies are emerging, from active to passive, from point-to-point to point-to-multipoint. There are many types of ONU (Optical Network Unit) terminal types, such as SFU (Single Family Unit) and HGU (Home Gateway Unit). In the FTTH network, the home user-based ONU terminal, the current mainstream manufacturer and the mainstream ONU interface and indicators are relatively uniform. For example, the following alarm indicators are usually provided: PON (Passive Optical Network), LOS ( Lost Of Synchronous, LAN (Local Area Network), POWER, etc. At present, the FTTH network, because it is a fiber-optic home, the quality of the fiber often occurs in the line, causing the ONU to not work, causing frequent interruptions in the customer network, affecting the customer's network information processing. As users become more dependent on the network, this will bring a lot of economic losses to customers. Therefore, the state of the network is becoming more and more important to customers. The customer hopes to understand the network status more intuitively and timely. Once there is a network failure, signal instability, or signal quality is declining, the customer hopes to be informed in time to make a judgment, and then ask the maintenance personnel to perform the line quality inspection as soon as possible. The line was interrupted and repaired, so that the line was interrupted as little as possible. However, the current ONUs only have the above alarm indicators, and the user needs to keep track of the tracking, and the user generally does not check the tracking OUN unless it is in the event of a network failure, but it is already late.

In addition, network traffic performance is also of concern to users. However, the alarm indicators set on the current ONUs cannot visually display traffic conditions and notify users in a timely manner. Especially in the current environment, people often steal networks and steal network information. If the ONU can intuitively view the network traffic, the user can determine whether someone has stolen his or her own network, thereby improving the awareness of network security.

It can be seen that the existing ONU cannot present the detected network status to the user intuitively, actively, and in a timely manner, resulting in various security risks or even losses due to the failure of the user to know the network status in time, thereby greatly reducing the user experience. Satisfaction.

The network status detector 1 is configured to detect the network status, and send the obtained detection result to the smart phone 2;

The intelligent speech device 2 is set to broadcast the received detection result by voice.

In this embodiment, the network state detector 1 is a detection chip disposed in the optical network unit, and the detected network state includes at least one of network failure, optical signal quality, and network traffic. Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 2, the network state detector 1 in this embodiment includes at least one of a network fault detector 11, a signal quality detector 12, and a traffic detector 13, wherein:

At this time, the user can judge the network by listening to the detection result by voice. Whether the traffic is normal, whether the network is stolen, or the like; the traffic detector 13 can also feed back the smart voice device 2 through the detection result only when the detected network traffic is greater than the preset traffic threshold, and the user can directly hear the network. As a result of whether traffic is stolen, you do not need to judge it yourself. For example, the user can send a network traffic detection command to the traffic detector 13 when the network is not in use by itself, and the data traffic should be close to 0, and can be set. The traffic threshold is 10. When the traffic detector 13 detects that the actual network traffic is greater than 10, it indicates that the network is currently being stolen, and the smart phone 2 is notified to broadcast.

The result is sent to the display 3; the display 3 is arranged to process the received detection results. In this way, the user can directly hear the detection result through the voice, and can also visually see the detection result through the display at the same time; that is, the optical network unit in this embodiment can simultaneously provide multiple channels to notify the user of the detection result in a timely and intuitive manner. .

As shown in FIG. 5, the optical network unit in this embodiment further includes a voice switch control module 4 for controlling the opening and closing of the smart phone 2, and the control mode thereof may be simply turning on and off according to the user's instruction (this Can be achieved by a simple power switch), or according to the set control The rule is automatically controlled to be turned on and off. For example, the control rule may automatically turn off the current broadcast function of the smart phone 2 after detecting that the smart phone 2 is played for the first time, waiting for the next alarm to be triggered; or The smart phone 2 is set to repeatedly broadcast the same alarm until a stop command issued by the user is received.

When the network status detector performs the network traffic detection, the network traffic detected by the current real time can be fed back to the intelligent voice device through the detection result. After the user hears the detection result through the voice, the user can determine whether the network traffic is normal or not. It can be stolen, etc.; only when the detected network traffic is greater than the preset traffic threshold, the detection result is fed back to the intelligent voice device. At this time, the user can directly hear whether the network traffic is stolen, and does not need to be Make another judgment. For example, the user can send a network traffic detection command to the network status detector when the network is not in use. The data traffic should be close to 0, and the traffic threshold can be set to 10. When the traffic detector 13 detects that the actual network traffic is greater than At 10 o'clock, it indicates that someone is stealing the network, and the smart voice device is notified to broadcast the alarm that the network may be stolen.

The automatic control of the opening and closing can also be performed according to the set control rule. For example, the control rule can automatically close the smart phone after detecting that the smart phone is played for the first time.

For a better understanding of the present invention, the present invention is further described by taking a specific optical network unit alarm process as an example. As shown in FIG. 8, the process includes:

Step 801: The optical network unit is always in the network state monitoring during normal time;

In this embodiment, if no network abnormality is set, the alarm will not be triggered (that is, the feedback result is not fed back). Once a network abnormality is detected, such as network interruption, signal quality degradation, and network traffic is not The alarm is triggered when the situation is normal;

Step 802: Determine whether the alarm is triggered, if yes, go to step 803; otherwise, go to step 801;

Step 803: The optical network unit broadcasts the alarm through the intelligent voice device. For example, the detected network status information and the corresponding alarm information may be simultaneously reported, for example, “detecting that the network traffic is greater than N, and there is a risk of stolen network, please pay attention to verify”;

Step 804: Whether to receive the shutdown alarm indication, if not, go to step 803; if yes, go to step 805;

Step 805: End the voice broadcast.
