Overview

This node interacts with the SmartOLT API to retrieve detailed status information about an ONU (Optical Network Unit) using its unique external ID. It is particularly useful for network administrators and technicians who need to monitor and manage ONUs in a fiber optic network. For example, it can fetch the full status info of an ONU, which includes various operational parameters and statuses, helping in diagnostics and network management.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve full status info of an ONU by providing its unique external ID.
  2. Optionally convert the returned text status information into a structured JSON format for easier processing and analysis.

Properties

Name Meaning
OLT External ID The unique external identifier of the ONU for which the full status information is requested.
Convert Text To JSON A boolean flag to indicate whether the returned full status info text should be converted into a structured JSON object for easier consumption.

Output

JSON

  • full_status_info - The full status information of the ONU, either as raw text or converted JSON object depending on the 'Convert Text To JSON' option.

Dependencies

  • SmartOLT API with an API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • If the ONU External ID is incorrect or not found, the API will return an error indicating the ONU could not be located. Verify the ID before retrying.
  • If 'Convert Text To JSON' is enabled but the text format changes or is unexpected, the conversion may fail or produce incorrect JSON. In such cases, disable conversion or update the parsing logic.
  • Network or authentication errors may occur if the SmartOLT API credentials are invalid or the service is unreachable. Check API key validity and network connectivity.
