ERROR 700 Description: Error 700 occurs when device is either not provisioned or not registered. Causes:
- New IPTV box serial number placed at customer location is different from box details entered in CAF.
- MAC ID is different in field and C-net Portal (Including " : ”). Stock upload issue.
- MAC ID is different in C-net and Middleware server.
- If 1 ONU and 2 IPTV’s are mistakenly added in CAF.
- CAF is in Pending for Provisioning status.
- Services not created in C-net.
Check Points:
- Check CAF status in C-net portal (Active or Pending for Provisioning).
- Check ONU and IPTV serial numbers and MAC ID's available on box with respective details in C-net portal. Mismatch should not be there.
- Check IPTV MAC ID in C-net and respective MAC ID in Middleware portals. Mismatch should not be there.
- Check CAF status and CPE information in C-net portal.
- Check services in C-net.
Actions to be performed:
- ONU and IPTV boxes details should be same as entered in CAF. If mismatch, change the box in field to be in accordance with CAF.
- If MAC ID mismatch between physical box and C-net due to Stock upload issue, then it has to be reported to the respective Marketing Manager.
- If MAC ID mismatch between C-net and Middleware portals then it has to be reported to Middleware team for MAC ID updation in middleware server.
Internet Speed Slow (Latency Issue) Description: When customer is unable to browse or download and buffering occurring frequently. Causes:
- FUP limit has been crossed
- Bandwidth crunch
- Network condition
- Customer Desktop / Laptop hardware capacity & operating system details.
Check Points:
- Confirm with ISP if the issue is for single customer or total PON/REG / end device.
- If PON/REG / end device is getting affected check if any fiber cut in the upstream network.
- Confirm with ISP from when the issue is being observed (Peak Hours / Always).
- If single customer, check HSI usage date from C-net Portal.
- Check power levels.
Actions to be performed:
- If HSI usage is more than FUP limit, inform ISP that customer will receive 1 MBPS speed.
- If FUP limit is not crossed then inform ISP to do ping test by connecting Laptop directly to the ONU and check latency.
- Browse www.fast.com/, and Click on “GO “to do speed test.
- Reboot the ONU and redo the speed test.
- If speed is not in accordance with Tariff plan, then forward the details (Speed test snapshot and ISP contact number) to Support.
IPTV Freezing Description: We observe that Video will play normal for few seconds and image remains static for next few seconds. Audio and video sync is lost. Causes:
- If ONU Power levels are beyond threshold values (-12db to -27db).
- If REI Errors in that particular PON/REG are in huge numbers.
- Due to cascaded end device's.
- Due to backbone network condition.
- Check if Power levels between Router to end device / end device to end device are within Threshold values.
- IPTV Box malfunctioning.
Check Points:
- Confirm with ISP if the issue is for single channel or for all channels.
- Confirm with ISP if the issue is for single customer or total PON/REG / end device.
- Confirm with ISP from when the issue is being observed (Peak Hours / Always).
- If PON/REG / end device is getting affected check if any fiber cut in the upstream network.
- Check Power levels in ONU and total PON/REG.
- Check REI Errors in ONU and total PON/REG.
Actions to be performed:
- If issue faced by single customer, Power levels are beyond threshold value, inform ISP to clear the losses by cleaning with IP solution or by re splicing the patch cords / fiber.
- Reboot / Reset IPTV box.
- If total PON/REG is freezing, then ISP has to check last mile fiber connectivity from end device to Customer location and clear fiber losses.
- If freezing is observed in total end device need to check power levels between end device - end device & Router - end device. If optical power is beyond threshold value then losses have to be cleared by our field teams.
- If end device is in cascaded connectivity then inform to Support.
IPTV Black Screen Description: IPTV black screen occurs when services are not provisioned. We observe black screen but VOD & Internet services are working fine. Channel name is also displayed at the bottom. Causes:
- If multicast configuration is missing in Router and first CAF is provisioned in end device.
- If IPTV services are not configured in for that particular CAF.
- Channel stream not received.
- Free to Air Channel package missing in IPTV services.
Check Points:
- Check power levels. Power levels should be in between Threshold value (-12db to -27db).
- Check if first CAF in end device.
- Check if PON/REG is having REI errors.
- Confirm with ISP if the issue is for single customer or total PON/REG.
- Check if Free to Air package is added in IPTV services.
- Confirm with ISP if the issue is for any particular channel.
Actions to be performed:
- Inform to Support team for creating Multicast configuration in Router.
- If end device’s are in cascaded connectivity, IPTV services have to be bypassed.
- Switch-Off IPTV box, restart ONU box and once the ONU box internet LED is on, switch-on IPTV box.
- If IPTV services are missing in , then create the service.
- If IPTV services are available in , then Block and release the service.
ERROR 500 Description: Error 500 will get displayed on TV screen. Error 500 occurs due to authentication failure. Causes:
- When internet is not available to box and authentication failed.
- When ONU is unable to connect to Middleware Server.
- If IPTV services are not added.
Check Points:
- Confirm with ISP if LAN & Remaining light is blinking or not.
- Check end device / ONT operational status.
- Check Power levels in ONU and total PON/REG.
- Check REI Errors in ONU and total PON/REG.
Actions to be performed:
- Reboot ONU and IPTV boxes and check.
- Ask ISP to check the LAN cable and if found faulty, replace the same.
- Switch-Off IPTV box. Do "Block" and "In-Service" for both Client services (HSI & IPTV) in C-net and then switch-on IPTV box.
- Reboot ONU and IPTV boxes and check.
- Inform to Support.
IPTV struck on Bootup Screen Description: We observe that TV is struck during bootup when switched on. Causes:
- Due to end device age Fluctuations and Earthing Issue.
- Due to malfunctioning of IPTV box
Check Points:
- Confirm with ISP if any Earthing issue or Vend deviceage issue at customer location.
- Confirm with ISP if the Adaptor supplied with the boxes are only used.
Actions to be performed:
- Inform ISP to Reboot the IPTV box and check.
- Inform ISP to reset the IPTV box and check.
Ethernet Issue Description: We observe “Please check your Network” or “No Internet Access” due to Ethernet issue. Causes:
- When Ethernet option is Switched Off.
- If LAN cable is not connected properly and LAN light is not blinking properly.
Check Points:
- Check if the LAN cable is properly connected and LAN lights are blinking properly.
- Inform ISP to enable Ethernet: My Account Settings More Ethernet
Actions to be performed:
- Inform ISP to Enable Ethernet: My Account Settings More Ethernet
Check if the LAN cable is properly connected and LAN lights are blinking properly
