Course Description:
This extensive Virtual Live Instructor-led course provides the skills required to perform detailed maintenance and troubleshooting on the Calix E7 system, including with various OLTs and ONTs found within a typical network. It also discusses the theory and general system architecture used by various broadband systems, including the latest GPON, AE, VDSL, and Ethernet-over-Fiber transport. While the course focuses on the original EXA card and feature set, the latest AXOS units are also discussed to help see the differences between the two series.
The E7 C7 combination is also discussed as a legacy GR-303 TDM Gateway interface for traditional TDM switches, where examples are shown for switches like the DMS-100 or GTD-5 EAX. Primary network elements are discussed including the OLT cards, ONT types (SFU, SBU, MDU), and various ONT options found within Calix's P-Series like the GX and GE, along with other needed components like Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA's), filters, splitters, transceivers, and different fiber cable and connector types. Both the E7-2 and E7-20 are described, including the different card versions used within each platform, plus the E7-20's SCPSCP2 processors. Features like Gigabit Ethernet, POTS, T1, and IPTVRFoG video (including RF-RTN) are explained, along with typical testing and use scenarios.
System management interfaces are described, and well as various administrative options, like the Web GUIEWI Interface, the Command Line Interface, and the Calix Management System (CMS). ONT activation and status is shown via local-PC connections, RONTA, Embedded Web GUI, and CLI, etc. along with discussion on provisioning of profiles, services, and VLANs. System backup and recovery is also described via external FTPTFTP servers. The newer features of AXOS are introduced and compared to original EXA systems. AXOS is not emphasized in this course due to time constraints, but is found in the Calix E7 AXOS andor E9 AXOS course.
Symptom investigation and troubleshooting is demonstrated using previous troubles as examples, as well as actual troubles which may exist in the system during training. Common fault types and best practices are presented, to help prevent troubles from occurring in the first place.
Our non-intrusive exercises equip the student to conduct day-to-day maintenance activities and show how to perform troubleshooting procedures, including problem isolation, cabling, and provisioning. The course is flexible, allowing the most important content for a particular group of students to be emphasized.
