After the OLT and each module in the registration apparatus are respectively powered on and initialized, the registration process of the GPON ONU is shown in fig. 5, and includes the following steps:

step 501: the upper layer control module receives the number of the appointed analog GPON ONU and provides the number of the appointed analog GPON ONU to the processor module;

step 502: the processor module sets a corresponding number of storage units in the storage module according to the number of the specified simulated GPON ONUs, each storage unit represents one simulated GPON ONU, and different serial numbers SN are set for each simulated GPON ONU to serve as the unique identifier of the simulated GPON ONU;

in the related art, the uplink Overhead message sent by the OLT is used for indicating that an OLT end is ready, indicating a pre-allocation equalization delay value and a preamble byte number used in an uplink direction, and specifying a sending optical power of the ONU; in this application example, the uplink Overhead message sent by the OLT may be only to indicate that the OLT end is ready and instruct the registration apparatus to set a pre-allocation equalization delay value, so that the set number of times for sending the uplink Overhead message may be enough to meet the above purpose;

step 504: the GPON module of the registration device analyzes an UpdreamOverhead message from a received GTC data frame and forwards the analyzed UpdreamOverhead message to the processor module;

step 505: the processor module obtains a pre-distribution equilibrium time delay value of the Upstream Overhead message, multiplies the obtained pre-distribution equilibrium time delay value by a random number randomly generated by the processor module to obtain a random time delay value TONU _0, and stores the random time delay value TONU _0, wherein the random time delay value TONU _0 is used for the time difference of sending uplink messages by any two registration devices to avoid collision; starting a timer TONU _1 as a time slot length required for recording local (registration device) processing and registration message sending; the timing duration of the timer TONU _1 is set by a person with ordinary skill in the art according to the test requirement;

step 506: after sending the uplink Overhead uplink message for the predetermined Number of times, the OLT continues to broadcast and send the Serial-Number Request message, where the Serial-Number Request message is also encapsulated in a GTC frame format, and a PLOAM domain defined by a GPON protocol is used, and specific field information is shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

Step 507: the GPON module of the registration device analyzes a Serial-Number Request message from a received GTC data frame and forwards the analyzed Serial-Number Request message to the processor module;

step 508: the processor module matches the padding values of bytes 4 to 11 of the Serial-Number Request message with the unique identifier of the registration device, if the padding values are completely matched, the Request registration can be performed, the step 309 is continuously executed, and if the padding values are not completely matched, the application example does not involve;

in this step, the padding values of the 4 th to 11 th bytes of the Serial-Number Request message are matched with the unique identifier of the registration apparatus, so as to make direct comparison, or the padding values of the 4 th to 11 th bytes of the Serial-Number Request message are operated with the unique identifier of the registration apparatus, and the operation result is compared, the latter is stronger in the extensibility of the test application, for example, the selection of specific judgment when adding other test function interfaces, but the specific application is not involved here;

step 509: the processor module fills registration information according to the content set by the Serial Number Response Serial-Number Response message, and sends the registration information to the OLT through the ODN after being packaged into a GTC frame by the GPON module, the Serial-Number Response message is also a PLOAM domain defined by the GPON protocol in the GTC frame, and the specific field information is shown in Table 2:

TABLE 2

Step 510: the OLT analyzes the Serial-Number Response message from the received GTC frame, and takes the random time delay value T1 of the 11 th byte as a registration interaction random time delay value reserved for the registration device; determining SN of an analog GPON ONU according to the padding values of the 7 th byte to the 10 th byte, namely, SN0 of the serial number of a main analog GPON ONU in the registration device; determining the number of GPON ONU required to be simulated according to the filling value of the 12 th byte, wherein the SN of each simulated GPON ONU is continuously increased one by one, so that the SN of all GPON ONU required to be simulated can be determined; the OLT forms and records the corresponding relation between ONU _ ID and SN of each analog GPON ONU and ONU _ ID (Primary ONU _ ID) of the main GPON ONU according to the information; the ONU _ ID corresponding to the SN0 is allocated to the OLT according to a related technique, and the ONU _ IDs of other analog GPON ONUs are determined by increasing progressively one by one, specifically: based on SN0 and the corresponding ONU _ ID, as the serial number increases, the ONU _ ID also increases, i.e.: SN0 → ONU _ ID, (SN0+1) → (ONU _ ID +1), (SN0+2) → (ONU _ ID +2) … … are shown in table 3:

ONU_ID	Primary ONU_ID	SN
			0	0	SN0
1	0	SN0+1
			…	0	…
31	0	SN0+31

TABLE 3

In the above correspondence, the Primary ONU _ ID indicates the ONU _ ID of the main gponun that borrows the serial number of the registration apparatus, for example, in this application example: the Primary ONU _ ID is 0 and corresponds to a virtual gponus with the serial number SN0, so that when a plurality of registration apparatuses exist, IDs of all GPON ONUs simulated in one registration apparatus can be conveniently distinguished on the OLT side;

step 511: the OLT fills data according to the content set by the allocation ONU _ ID (Assign _ ONU _ ID) message by using a PLOAM domain defined by the GPON protocol, encapsulates the data into a GTC frame, and sends the GTC frame to the registration apparatus through the ODN, where specific field information of the Assign _ ONU _ ID message is shown in table 4:

TABLE 4

Here, one point is specifically explained: this message is used to assign a batch of ONU _ IDs to the registered device; thus, unlike the related art: the T-CONT information of ONU _ ID is not filled in an upstream bandwidth mapping (BWmap) domain of a GTC frame corresponding to a downstream frame of GPON;

step 512: the GPON module of the registration device analyzes an Assign _ ONU _ ID message for allocating ONU _ ID from the received GTC data frame and forwards the analyzed Assign _ ONU _ ID message to the processor module;

step 513: the processor module judges whether the information of 4 th to 11 th bytes in the acquired Assign _ ONU _ ID message is the same as the unique identifier of the registration device, and if not, the message is discarded; if so, resolving the ONU _ ID of the 3 rd byte and the increasing times of the 12 th byte in the Assign _ ONU _ ID message, recording the ONU _ ID corresponding to the SN0, and determining the ONU _ IDs of other simulated GPON ONUs one by one in an increasing mode, so that the corresponding relation between the SN of each simulated GPON ONU and the ONU _ ID is formed and recorded on the registration device;

in this step, determining the ONU _ IDs of each other analog GPON ONU incrementally one by one is specifically: based on SN0 and the corresponding ONU _ ID, as the serial number increases, the ONU _ ID also increases, i.e.: SN0 → ONU _ ID, (SN0+1) → (ONU _ ID +1), (SN0+2) → (ONU _ ID +2) … …, thereby matching the correspondence relationship between the SN and ONU _ ID of each analog GPON ONU stored on the OLT;

step 514: the OLT adopts a PLOAM domain defined by a GPON protocol to fill data according to the content set by the allocation _ ID message, encapsulates the data into a GTC frame and then sends the GTC frame to the registration device through the ODN. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: filling Alloc _ ID content in an upstream bandwidth map BWmap field of a downstream GTC frame sent by an OLT, the upstream bandwidth map BWmap field is used to allocate an Alloc _ ID number to a specific GPON ONU on a registration apparatus, and similar to the related art, the BWmap field also carries a service TCONT and a time slot length corresponding to the ONU _ ID, the specific GPON ONU is specified by the ONU _ ID, each specific GPON ONU needs to send an Assign _ Alloc _ ID message separately, and specific field information is shown in table 5:

TABLE 5

In this step, the number of the Assign _ Alloc _ ID messages sent to the registration apparatus is determined by a policy that an OLT assigns TCONT numbers to each simulated GPON ONU according to system test design by a person of ordinary skill in the art, but does not exceed the number of the GPON ONUs simulated by the registration apparatus;

step 515: the GPON module of the registration device analyzes BWmap field information from a received GTC data frame and forwards the analyzed BWmap field information comprising Assign _ Alloc _ ID information, service TCONT corresponding to ONU _ ID and time slot length to the processor module;

step 516: the processor module analyzes the information including the Assign _ Alloc _ ID message, the service TCONT corresponding to the ONU _ ID and the BWmap field information of the time slot length, and records the corresponding relationship between each ONU _ ID, Alloc ID and the corresponding time slot length, that is: obtaining and recording the Alloc ID of each analog GPON ONU and the corresponding required time slot length;

517: the processor module calculates and stores the sum of the time slot lengths TONU _2 required by Alloc IDs received for different ONU _ IDs within a preset time length;

in this step, the predetermined time length is to receive an Assign _ Alloc _ ID message issued for all the simulated GPON ONUs, and the specific time length may be determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art according to the test environment;

step 518: the OLT adopts a PLOAM domain defined by a GPON protocol to fill data according to the content set by the Ranging Request message, packages the data into a GTC frame and then sends the GTC frame to the registration device through the ODN, and starts a timer TOLT _1 during sending, wherein the timer is used for recording the time from the time when the OLT sends the Ranging Request message to the time when the Ranging Response message is received;

step 519: the GPON module of the registration device analyzes a Ranging Request message from a received GTC data frame and forwards the analyzed Ranging Request message to the processor module; the processor module starts a timer TONU _3 when receiving the Ranging Request message, wherein the timer TONU _3 is used for recording the time between the time that the processor module receives the Ranging Request message and the time that the processor module sends the corresponding Ranging Response message;

step 520: the processor module responds to a total required equalization time delay T2 of the OLT registration device under the condition of the total number of the current analog GPON ONU according to the content set by the Ranging Response message, and the equalization time delay T2 is packaged into a GTC frame by the GPON module and then sent to the OLT through the ODN, wherein the GTC frame is also a PLOAM domain defined by a GPON protocol, and the specific field information is shown in a table 6:

TABLE 6

Step 521: when receiving a Ranging Response message, the OLT stops timing by a timer TOLT _ 1; parsing a Ranging Response message from a received GTC frame, determining an equalization delay value of the whole registration device according to an equalization delay value T2 and a timing value of a local timer tol _1 therein, filling data in a PLOAM field defined by a GPON protocol according to content set by a Ranging Time message, encapsulating the data into a GTC frame, and sending the GTC frame to the registration device through an ODN, wherein specific field information of the Ranging Time message is shown in table 7:

TABLE 7

Therefore, after receiving the Ranging Time message, the registration device determines an equilibrium Time delay value EqD according to the 4 th to 7 th byte information of the Ranging Time message, determines an uplink data sending window of the registration device according to the equilibrium Time delay value EqD, and enters an operating state to complete a registration process;

step 522: when the OLT confirms that the number of GPON ONUs recorded with the corresponding relation of the ONU _ ID, the SN and the ONU _ ID of the main GPON ONU is the same as the number of GPON ONUs to be simulated, and the registration device determines that the number of memory units with the SN is also the same as the number of GPON ONUs to be simulated and determines the equalization delay value, the OLT is indicated to finish the registration pressure test of the preset number of ONUs, otherwise, the OLT is indicated to be incapable of finishing the registration pressure test of the preset number of ONUs.

When the GPON ONU simulated by the simulation apparatus needs to be unregistered/deleted according to the test requirements, the OLT fills data in a PLOAM domain defined by a GPON protocol according to the content set in the deactivation deactivating _ ONU _ ID message, encapsulates the data into a GTC frame, and sends the GTC frame to the registration apparatus through the ODN, where specific field information of the deactivating _ ONU _ ID message is shown in table 8:

TABLE 8

The GPON module of the registration device analyzes and deactivates the deactivating _ ONU _ ID message from the received GTC data frame and forwards the analyzed deactivating _ ONU _ ID message to the processor module;

the processor module performs different processing according to different information in the deactivating _ ONU _ ID message as follows:

judging whether to unregister/delete a GPON ONU (at this time, the ONU _ ID corresponding to SN0 of the specific registration device) on a specific registration device or all ONUs of all analog devices under the GPON port of the OLT (at this time, 11111111) according to the 1 st byte;

judging whether to perform de-registration/deletion of a single analog GPON ONU or de-registration/deletion of a plurality of analog GPON ONUs according to the 3 rd byte: (1) if the GPON ONU needs to be de-registered/deleted (the 3 rd byte is filled with other data), determining the ONU _ ID of the GPON ONU needing to be de-registered/deleted by increasing the ONU _ ID on the basis that the 3 rd byte needs to be filled with the ONU _ ID filled in the first byte, and deleting the recorded related information of the memory unit; (2) if the data is de-registered/deleted by a plurality of analog GPON ONUs (the 3 rd byte is filled with 00000000 or 11111111).

Two points need to be explained for this step:

(1) when the 1 st byte is 11111111, the 3 rd byte can only be filled with 00000000 or 11111111, the 1 st byte represents that whether the de-registration/deletion operation is performed on all the GPON ONUs of all the analog devices (the 3 rd byte is filled with 000000000000) or the de-registration/deletion operation is performed on all the GPON ONUs of all the analog devices except for the GPON ONU corresponding to SN0 (the 3 rd byte is filled with 11111111111111), and the processor module of the registration device correspondingly deletes the relevant information of the memory unit corresponding to the analog GPON ONU after receiving the deactivating _ ONU _ ID message including the information;

(2) when the 1 st byte is the ONU _ ID of SN0, the 3 rd byte may be filled with 00000000 or 11111111, and if it is not 00000000 or 11111111, de-registration/deletion of a single analog GPON ONU is performed, which is not described in detail above; if the 3 rd byte is filled with 00000000, all analog GPON ONUs of the registration device where the SN0 is unregistered/deleted are indicated; if the 3 rd byte is filled with 11111111, the result indicates that all simulated GPON ONUs except the GPON ONU of the ONU _ ID corresponding to the SN0 on the registration device where the SN0 is unregistered/deleted; the simulated GPON ONUs unregistered/deleted here may be operated for one registration apparatus, or may be operated in batches for different registration apparatuses, so that there is better test selectivity and flexibility for partial deletion of the simulated GPON ONUs of a certain registration apparatus or deletion of all the simulated GPON ONUs of all the simulation apparatuses, for example, when there are multiple registration apparatuses, all the simulated GPON ONUs in one registration apparatus may be deleted only, then GPON ONUs with different numbers are simulated again in the registration apparatus, and the number of pressure registrations on the OLT is changed, so as to facilitate testing different responses of the OLT under different simulated GPON ONU loads, unlike the related art in which the OLT can only delete one ONU or all ONUs simultaneously.

Further, when the OLT determines that the deactivation _ ONU _ ID message is transmitted because/needs to delete the emulated GPON ONU, the OLT side deletes the information corresponding to the emulated GPON ONU to be deleted.
