Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental reliability testing technology for ordinary home gateways, and in particular relates to a climate environment testing method for simulating the full-load working scenario of an FTTR gateway. Background Technology

[0002] An FTTR gateway is a home network solution based on fiber optic communication technology. An FTTR gateway mainly consists of five types of devices: a main optical modem / router / gateway integrated unit (referred to as the "FTTR main gateway"), an indoor fiber optic network, a secondary optical modem / router / gateway integrated unit (referred to as the "FTTR secondary gateway"), a splitter, and fiber optic panels. The FTTR gateway uses fiber optic media for home networking. The main gateway is deployed in the distribution box or key locations, forming an FTTR optical network through a splitter and single-core bidirectional fiber. The main gateway is responsible for converting optical signals into electrical signals, providing network management and signal regeneration functions, and ensuring signal strength and quality. The secondary gateway connects to the main gateway via a GPON interface, providing high-speed network access and a Wi-Fi 6 interface.

[0003] For various communication products on the market, during their design and application, they are constantly subjected to the influence of their own internal and external climatic and mechanical environments, yet they still need to function normally. This necessitates the use of testing equipment to verify their reliability under climatic conditions. Climate environmental testing examines a product's adaptability to the environment, determining its suitability for the environmental requirements of the intended use location; it spans the entire product lifecycle. Using environmental testing to assess products, expose design and manufacturing quality issues, and thereby improve their reliability is a highly effective measure.

[0004] Existing FTTR gateway testing scenarios are designed for environmental reliability testing of ordinary home gateways. High and low temperature test chambers are used to simulate various gateway products under full load to check whether the gateway's appearance and functions are normal, and whether there is any appearance deformation or performance degradation. However, these tests can only test the environmental reliability of ordinary home gateways and cannot test the environmental reliability of FTTR gateways. The full-load operating environment of FTTR gateways is more complex. To ensure that FTTR gateway services are fully operational, a test system specifically designed for FTTR operating scenarios needs to be built.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a test method that can simulate whether the full-load operation of an FTTR gateway will be affected under extreme temperature conditions, in order to assess the product, expose problems in the product's design and manufacturing quality, and thus improve its reliability, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a climate environment testing method for simulating the full-load operation of an FTTR gateway. This method simulates whether the full-load operation of an FTTR gateway is affected by extreme temperature environments, thereby assessing the product, exposing problems in the product's design and manufacturing quality, and improving its reliability.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the climate environment testing method for simulating a fully loaded FTTR gateway operation scenario according to the present invention.

[0035] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the climate environment test architecture for simulating a fully loaded FTTR gateway operation scenario according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0036] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-2 The present invention will be further described in detail below:

[0037] Example 1

[0038] See appendix Figure 1 As shown, a climate environment testing method simulating a fully loaded FTTR gateway operation scenario includes the following steps:

[0039] S1: Register the FTTR gateway master device to the OLT via optical fiber and establish communication between the FTTR gateway master device and the OLT;

[0040] S2: Register the FTTR gateway slave device to the OLT BOSA connected to the FTTR gateway master device via optical fiber, and establish communication between the FTTR gateway slave device and the FTTR gateway master device;

[0041] S3: The first terminal device PC1 is connected to the FTTR gateway master device 2.4G WIFI, the second terminal device PC2 is connected to the FTTR gateway master device 5G WIFI, and the third terminal device PC3 is connected to the FTTR gateway master device LAN2. IxChariot is used on the third terminal device PC3 to stream 5 2.4G TX / RX streams and 5 5G TX / RX streams.

[0042] S4: The fourth terminal device PC4 is connected to the FTTR gateway slave device 2.4G WIFI, the fifth terminal device PC5 is connected to the FTTR gateway slave device 5G WIFI, the third terminal device PC3 is connected to the FTTR gateway slave device LAN2, and the sixth terminal device PC6 uses IxChariot to stream 5 2.4G TX / RX streams and 5 5G TX / RX streams.

[0043] S5: FTTR gateway main device LAN1 and OLT service board interface 1, PON stream bidirectional 900Mbps each;

[0044] S6: The FTTR gateway connects the device's LAN1 port to the OLT service board's 2 port, with PON stream TX at 900Mbps and RX at 2400Mbps;

[0045] S7: Connect a 5W cement load to the USB port of the FTTR gateway master device to simulate the scenario where the USB port of the FTTR gateway master device is working at full load.

[0046] S8: Connect a telephone to the voice port of the FTTR gateway master device. After ringing, the telephone is picked up to simulate a scenario where a user makes a voice call using the FTTR gateway master device.

[0047] Since FTTR gateway devices may be used in environments with extreme climates, environmental reliability is crucial. For example, they must operate normally at both low and high temperatures, with no disconnections during wireless and PON data transfer. After testing, no configuration loss, software corruption, hardware failure, inability to start, or degradation of functionality or performance after startup that could negatively impact user experience is permitted.

[0048] Existing testing scenarios primarily target the environmental reliability of ordinary home gateways. High and low temperature test chambers simulate various gateway products under full load to check for normal appearance and function, and to detect any deformation or performance degradation. The DUT (Data Under Test) is run on four PCs, with unlimited 2.4G and 5G speeds, a PON speed of 900Mbps, a USB flash drive connected to the USB port, and a telephone ringing and being picked up. This approach only tests the environmental reliability of ordinary home gateways and cannot test the environmental reliability of FTTR gateways. The full-load operating environment of FTTR gateways is far more complex. To ensure the full operation of FTTR gateway services, a dedicated testing system for FTTR operating scenarios needs to be built.

[0049] Therefore, this invention provides a more comprehensive and reliable testing system for environmental reliability testing of FTTR gateway PON products in the R&D stage. The FTTR gateway master device is registered to the OLT via optical fiber, and the FTTR gateway slave device is registered to the OLT BOSA connected to the FTTR gateway master device via optical fiber. The first terminal device PC1 is connected to the FTTR gateway master device's 2.4G WIFI; the second terminal device PC2 is connected to the FTTR gateway master device's 5G WIFI; the third terminal device PC3 is connected to the FTTR gateway master device's LAN2; the fourth terminal device PC4 is connected to the FTTR gateway slave device's 2.4G WIFI; the fifth terminal device PC5 is connected to the FTTR gateway slave device's 5G WIFI; and the third terminal device PC3 is connected to the FTTR gateway slave device's LAN2. The FTTR gateway master device's LAN1 is connected to the OLT service board interface 1; the FTTR gateway slave device's LAN1 is connected to the OLT service board interface 2; a 5W cement load is connected to the FTTR gateway master device's USB port to simulate a full-load operation scenario; a telephone is connected to the FTTR gateway master device's voice port, and the receiver is picked up after ringing. By expanding the services offered by the FTTR gateway device, the Wi-Fi service was changed from a traditional wireless connection to a wireless cable connection, resulting in a more stable Wi-Fi stream and ensuring the FTTR device operated at full load throughout the climate environment testing. The downstream port services of the FTTR master device were fully operational, with FTTR slave devices connected to form a loop. The slave devices were configured with full service flows, thoroughly testing all the service functions of the FTTR master device.

IxChariot is used on the third terminal device PC3 to generate 5 2.4G TX / RX streams and 5 5G TX / RX streams to simulate the scenario of the user's actual maximum traffic usage of the FTTR gateway master device's WIFI service.

By simulating the actual user experience of the FTTR device, the performance of each function of the FTTR device can be better determined during actual user use. The testing conditions of the FTTR device in different high and low temperature climatic environments are tightened, resulting in a better user experience during actual use.

[0065] In summary, the climate environment testing method for simulating a full-load working scenario of an FTTR gateway provided by this invention involves registering the FTTR gateway master device to the OLT via optical fiber, and registering the FTTR gateway slave device to the OLT BOSA connected to the FTTR gateway master device via optical fiber.
