If the MDU or ONU supports optical power query, you can use the MDU CLI or ONT web page to query the Tx/Rx optical power. When the CLI is used for querying the optical power, the query result is accurate and stable if a great volume of data is transmitted; the query result has a maximum difference of 2 dB from the actual optical power if a small volume of data is transmitted. Therefore, it is recommended that you use. 1 For ONT registration on Huawei OLT 2 For Check ont optical info 3 For Check ont Description MENU 4 View uplink optical power 4.
