Overview

The VIAVI ONT-800 is a highly configurable, multi-protocol, multi-port test platform for R&D and system verification of optical transport ICs, modules and systems. It builds on its predecessor, the ONT-600, to deliver the bandwidth, power and cooling required for testing at 600G per lambda and beyond, and it accepts ONT-600 modules.

The ONT family offers several mainframe options and compatible application modules, ranging from single-slot point tools up to a full rack-mounted multi-slot, multi-port and multi-user solution for R&D, system verification testing (SVT) and manufacturing. The ONT-804D has four slots and a built-in 15-inch touchscreen for stand-alone lab use; the ONT-804, ONT-812 and ONT-812A provide 4 or 12 slots and are intended for scripted applications in SVT and manufacturing.

Software and automation

All application modules share the same GUI, automation and scripting. The mainframe runs Linux and can be operated locally via touchscreen or external display, keyboard and mouse, or remotely via Java Web Start or VNC. SCPI commands over LAN allow modules to be addressed independently and in parallel and shared among multiple users and mainframes. Scripting support covers Tcl/Tk, Python, C libraries and LabView.

Synchronization

A high-accuracy clock module synchronizes modules and test ports, with BNC, Bantam and Time of Day inputs for external synchronization. An ultra-high-accuracy GNSS and rubidium clock is available as a factory-fitted option.
