Description
Summary:This paper proposed a network management software tool named smart access network _ testing, analyzing and database (SANTAD) that associated with remotely controlling, optical monitoring, system analyzing, fault detection, protection switching, and automatic recovery apparatus for fiber-to-the-home passive optical network (FTTH-PON) based on Visual Basic programming. The developed program is able to prevent and detect any occurrence of fault in the network system through centralized monitoring and remote operating from central office (CO) via Ethernet connection. SANTAD enable the status of each transmission link to be displayed on a single computer screen with capability to configure the drastic drop of optical signal level and detect the failure simultaneously. The analysis results will then stored in database with certain attributes such as date and time, network failure rate, failure location, etc. The database system enable the history of network scanning process be analyzed and studied by the engineers.
