Huawei SmartAX MA5800 System Test Procedure
In the market, numerous dealers specialize in access equipment, yet the majority procure their products from various sources and sell them directly to international clients without conducting any tests. This practice is due to the lack of testing facilities and technical expertise, leading to potential issues with GPON boards that customers receive, such as malfunctioning boards, software version incompatibilities (GPHF/GPSF and MPLA), and abnormal transmission power in GPON modules. To mitigate these risks, we will perform thorough testing on the equipment prior to storage and shipment.
Test Procedure
- Choose Huawei MA5800 X15 with MPLA main board and GPHF C++ for testing
- Connect computer and CON port on MPLA by a console cable
- Insert GPHF C++, power on MA5800 X15 system
- Observe board indicator lights, lights change from red to green and glint once every second
- Login MA5800 via Secure CRT, input command “display board 0” to check boards status

0/4/5 C++ and 0/4/6 C++ in case 2 and 3, data of Temperature, TX Bias current, Supply Voltage and TX power(dBm) is messy code and blank, which indicates modules are fail.
or GPON board, we cannot judge it just based on its indicator glint and display status, we must check every GPON module TX power via commend. Therefore, besides appearance inspection, inserting board into OLT to check GPON module is necessary before purchase.
For main control board, there are different versions, such as R16, 17, R18. Dealers who have no test capacity cannot upgrade or downgrade version according to customer’s requirements. In addition, if two main control boards in same chassis have different versions, and if the higher version board starts firstly, the lower version board will be automatically synchronized by the higher version board. If the lower version board starts firstly, the higher version board may not start normally.
