FOREWORD
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of
telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical,
operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing
telecommunications on a worldwide basis.
The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes
the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics.
The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1.
In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T's purview, the necessary standards are
prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

NOTE
In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a
telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.
Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain
mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the
Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words "shall" or some other
obligatory language such as "must" and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of
such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS


ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve
the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or
applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of
the Recommendation development process.
As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual property, protected
by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned
that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent
database at http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

2.5) Clause 9.1.14, ONU dynamic power management control


Replace clause 9.1.14 with the following text:
This managed entity models the ONU's ability to enter power conservation modes in cooperation with
the OLT in an ITU-T G.987 system. [ITU-T G.987.3] originally specified two alternative modes,
doze and cyclic sleep. The subsequent revision of [ITU-T G.987.3] simplified the specification
providing a single power conservation mode, watchful sleep.
An ONU that supports power conservation modes automatically creates an instance of this managed
entity.

Rec. ITU-T G.988 (2012)/Amd.1 (05/2014) 3


Relationships
One instance of this managed entity is associated with the ONU managed entity.
Attributes
Managed entity ID: This attribute uniquely identifies each instance of this managed entity.
There is only one instance, number 0. (R) (mandatory) (2 bytes)
Power reduction management capability: This attribute declares the ONU's support for
managed power conservation modes, as defined in [ITU-T G.987.3]. It is a bit
map in which the bit value 0 indicates no support for the specified mode, while
the bit value 1 indicates that the ONU does support the specified mode. (R)
(mandatory) (1 byte)
Codepoints are assigned as follows:
Value Meaning
0 No support for power reduction
1 Doze mode supported
2 Cyclic sleep mode supported
3 Both doze and cyclic sleep modes supported
4 Watchful sleep mode supported
5..255 Reserved
Power reduction management mode: This attribute enables one or more of the ONU's
managed power conservation modes. It is a bit map in which the bit value 0
disables the mode, while the value 1 enables the mode. Bit assignments are the
same as those of the power reduction management capability attribute. The
default value of each bit is 0. (R, W) (mandatory) (1 byte)
Itransinit: This attribute is the ONU vendor's statement of the complete transceiver
initialization time: the worst-case time required for the ONU to regain full
functionality when leaving the asleep state in cyclic sleep mode or low power
state in watchful sleep mode (i.e., turning on both the receiver and the
transmitter and acquiring synchronization to the downstream flow), measured
in units of 125-microsecond frames. The value zero indicates that the sleeping
ONU can respond to a bandwidth grant without delay. (R) (mandatory)
(2 bytes)
Itxinit: This attribute is the ONU vendor's statement of the transmitter initialization
time: the time required for the ONU to regain full functionality when leaving
the listen state (i.e., turning on the transmitter), measured in units of
125-microsecond frames. The value zero indicates that the dozing ONU can
respond to a bandwidth grant without delay. If watchful sleep is enabled, the
ONU ignores this attribute. (R) (mandatory) (2 bytes)
Maximum sleep interval: The Isleep/Ilowpower attribute specifies the maximum time the
ONU spends in its asleep, listen, or low power states, as a count of
125-microsecond frames. Local or remote events may truncate the ONU's
sojourn in these states. The default value of this attribute is 0. (R, W)
(mandatory) (4 bytes)
Maximum receiver-off interval: The Irxoff attribute specifies the maximum time the OLT
can afford to wait from the moment it decides to wake up an ONU in the low

4 Rec. ITU-T G.988 (2012)/Amd.1 (05/2014)


power state of the watchful sleep mode until the ONU is fully operational,
specified as a count of 125-microsecond frames. (R, W) (mandatory) (4 bytes)
Minimum aware interval: The Iaware attribute specifies the time the ONU spends in its
aware state, as a count of 125-microsecond frames, before it re-enters asleep
or listen states. Local or remote events may independently cause the ONU to
enter an active state rather than returning to a sleep state. The default value of
this attribute is 0. (R, W) (mandatory) (4 bytes)
Minimum active held interval: The Ihold attribute specifies the minimum time during which
the ONU remains in the active held state, as a count of 125-microsecond
frames. Its initial value is zero. (R, W) (mandatory) (2 bytes)
Maximum sleep interval extension: This attribute designates maximum sleep interval values
for doze mode and cyclic sleep mode separately. When it supports this
attribute, the ONU ignores the value of the maximum sleep interval attribute.
Maximum sleep interval for doze mode 4 bytes
Maximum sleep interval for cyclic sleep mode 4 bytes
Maximum sleep interval for doze mode specifies the maximum time the ONU
spends in its listen state, as a count of 125-microsecond frames. Local or
remote events may truncate the ONU's sojourn in these states. The default
value is 0.
Maximum sleep interval for cyclic sleep mode specifies the maximum time the
ONU spends in its asleep state, as a count of 125-microsecond frames. Local
or remote events may truncate the ONU's sojourn in these states. The default
value is 0. If watchful sleep is enabled, the ONU ignores this attribute.
(R, W) (optional) (8 bytes)
EPON capability extension: This attribute declares Ethernet passive optical network
(EPON) specific capabilities for the dynamic power management control.
Bits are assigned as follows:
Bit Name Setting
1 (LSB) AckCapable 0: not supported
1: supported

2 Sleep indication capability 0: not supported


1: supported

3 Early wake-up capability 0: not supported


1: supported

4 Sleep mode selection at ONU's discretion


0: not supported
1: supported

5..8 Reserved 0

AckCapable has the value of supported if the ONU is capable of sending a


SLEEP_ACK message, which is defined in [IEEE P1904.1], in response to

Rec. ITU-T G.988 (2012)/Amd.1 (05/2014) 5


the SLEEP_ALLOW message from the OLT. The ONU may select the
appropriate power conservation method by itself if AckCapable is supported.
Sleep indication capability represents ability to send a SLEEP_INDICATION
message, defined in [IEEE P1904.1], to initiate the power saving cycle from
the ONU.
Early wake-up capability shows whether the ONU has a function in which
the ONU can awaken from the sleep mode based on local conditions such as
off-hook condition on SIP ports, power down, etc.
ONU self-sleep mode selection indicates whether the ONU has a function to
choose the appropriate power conservation method by itself if the
SLEEP_ALLOW message, defined in [ITU-T G.epon], designates the ONU
to enter low power sleep mode with a Tx or TRx SleepMode option. (Tx
mode which is defined in [IEEE P1904.1] is equivalent to doze mode, and
TRx mode which is also defined in [IEEE P1904.1] is equivalent to cyclic
sleep mode.)
(R) (optional) (1 byte)
NOTE – The dynamic power management control in EPON is basically the same as
the function in [ITU-T G.987.3]. That is EPON has two types of power-down modes
which are equivalent to doze mode and cyclic sleep mode, where the former is
defined as Tx mode and the latter is defined as TRx mode in [IEEE P1904.1].
However EPON has some differences from [ITU-T G.987.3] equivalent Tx
mode or TRx mode:
- EPON may be operated without the SLEEP_ACK message (which is
equivalent to Sleep_Request message in [ITU-T G.987.3])
- An EPON ONU may initiate the dynamic power management control
sequence by an EPON-specific SLEEP_INDICATION message.
- EPON may be operated without the early wake-up sequence, which is
equivalent to the transition to a full power state by local wake-up
indications (LWI) of ONU in [ITU-T G.987.3].
- An EPON ONU may have no capability to choose Tx or TRx mode
by itself. Therefore, the OLT can designate the ONU to enter a
specific power-down mode in either explicit or implicit ways.
To negotiate the power management mode, the ONU indicates its capabilities
by this attribute and then the OLT configures the ONU with the EPON setup
extension attribute. In case of the following capabilities and configurations,
an EPON system performs the same power-saving function as
[ITU-T G.987.3].
- Capabilities:
AckCapable = supported,
Sleep indication capability = N/A,
Early wake-up capability = supported,
ONU self-sleep mode selection = supported
- Configurations:
ackEnable configuration = enable,
Sleep indication configuration = disable,
Early wake-up configuration = enable

6 Rec. ITU-T G.988 (2012)/Amd.1 (05/2014)


EPON setup extension: This attribute specifies EPON specific configurations for the
dynamic power management control.
The bits are assigned as follows:
Bit Name Setting
1 (LSB) ackEnable configuration 0: disable
1: enable

2 Sleep indication configuration 0: disable


1: enable

3 Early wake-up configuration 0: disable


1: enable

4..8 Reserved 0

Each bit corresponds to bit 1-3 of the EPON capability extension and the
OLT may enable each bit if the capability is supported or true. If the
capability is not supported, the bit has no effect.
If the OLT does not designate configurations by the EPON setup extension,
the ONU uses the following default values unless they are not supported.
ackEnable configuration = enable,
Sleep indication configuration = disable,
Early wake-up configuration = enable
(R, W) (optional) (1 byte)
Missing consecutive bursts threshold: The Clobi attribute specifies the maximum number
of missing consecutive scheduled bursts from the ONU that the OLT is willing
to tolerate without raising an alarm. The value of this attribute defaults to 4.

2.6) Clause 9.2.14, Energy consumption performance monitoring history data


Replace clause 9.2.14 with the following text:
This managed entity collects performance monitoring data associated with the ONU's energy
consumption. The time spent in various low-power states is recorded as a measure of their utility.
Furthermore, the ONU may also include the equivalent of a Watt-hour meter, which can be sampled
from time to time to measure actual power consumed.
For a complete discussion of generic PM architecture, refer to clause I.4.
Relationships
An instance of this managed entity is associated with the ONU in its entirety.

Managed entity ID: This attribute uniquely identifies each instance of this managed entity.
The ME ID must be 0. (R, Set-by-create) (mandatory) (2 bytes)
Interval end time: This attribute identifies the most recently finished 15-minute interval. (R)

Threshold data 1/2 ID: No thresholds are defined for this managed entity. For uniformity
with other PM, the attribute is retained and shown as mandatory, but it should
be set to a null pointer. (R, W, Set-by-create) (mandatory) (2 bytes)
Doze time: This attribute records the time during which the ONU was in doze energy
conservation mode, measured in microseconds. If watchful sleep is enabled in
the ONU dynamic power management control ME, the ONU ignores this
attribute. (R) (mandatory) (4 bytes)

2.7) Clause 9.2.18, L2 multicast GEM interworking termination point


Add new clause 9.2.18 as follows:
An instance of this managed entity represents a point in an EPON ONU where a multicast service
interworks with the GEM layer. At this point, a multicast bit stream is forwarded.
Instances of this managed entity are created and deleted by the OLT.
Multicast interworking GEM modes of operation
The default multicast operation of the EPON is one in which all the multicast content streams are
carried in one PON layer connection (GEM port). This connection is then specified by the multicast
MAC address filtering table. According to this table, the ONU filters the traffic based on Ethernet
MAC addresses. The associated GEM port network CTP ME specifies the GEM port-ID that supports
all multicast connections.
In the default multicast operation, all multicast content streams are placed in one PON layer
connection (GEM port). The OLT sets up a completely conventional model, a pointer from the L2
multicast GEM interworking termination point to a GEM port network CTP. The OLT configures the
GEM port-ID of the GEM port network CTP into the multicast MAC address filtering table attribute,
along with the other table fields that specify multicast destination MAC addresses for filtering. The
ONU accepts the entire multicast stream through the designated GEM port and then filters the traffic

8 Rec. ITU-T G.988 (2012)/Amd.1 (05/2014)


based on Ethernet MAC address.
An optional multicast configuration supports separate multicast streams carried over separate PON
layer connections, i.e., on separate GEM ports. This permits the ONU to filter multicast streams at
the GEM level, which is hardware efficient, while ignoring other multicast streams that may be of
interest to other ONUs on the PON.
After configuring the explicit model for the first multicast GEM port, the OLT supports multiple
multicast GEM ports by configuring additional entries into the multicast MAC address filtering table,
entries with different GEM port-IDs. The OMCI model is defined such that these ports are implicitly
grouped together and served by the single explicit GEM port network CTP. No additional GEM
network CTPs need be created or linked for the additional GEM ports.
Several L2 multicast GEM interworking termination points can exist, each linked to separate bridge
ports or mappers, to serve different communities of interest in a complex ONU.
Discovery of multicast support
The OLT uses the L2 multicast GEM IW TP entity as the means to discover the ONU's multicast
capability. This entity is mandatory if multicast is supported by an EPON ONU. If the OLT attempts
to create this entity on an ONU that does not support multicast, the create command fails. The create
command also fails if the OLT attempts to exploit optional features that the ONU does not support,
for example in attempting to create multiple L2 multicast GEM interworking termination points.
This managed entity is defined by similarity to the unicast GEM interworking termination point, and
a number of its attributes are not meaningful in a multicast context. These attributes are set to 0 and
not used, as indicated below.
Relationships
An instance of this managed entity exists for each layer 2 multicast community of interest.
Attributes
Managed entity ID: This attribute uniquely identifies each instance of this managed entity.
The value 0xFFFF is reserved. (R, Set-by-create) (mandatory) (2 bytes)
GEM port network CTP connectivity pointer: This attribute points to an instance of the
GEM port network CTP that is associated with this L2 multicast GEM
interworking termination point. (R, W, Set-by-create) (mandatory) (2 bytes)
Interworking option: This attribute identifies the type of non-GEM function that is being
interworked. The option can be:
0 This value is a "no-op" or "don’t care". It should be used when the L2
multicast GEM IW TP is associated with several functions of
different types. It can optionally be used in all cases, since the
necessary information is available elsewhere. The previous code
points are retained for backward compatibility:
1 MAC bridged LAN
3 Reserved
5 IEEE 802.1p mapper
(R, W, Set-by-create) (mandatory) (1 byte)
Service profile pointer: This attribute is set to 0 and not used. For backward compatibility,
it may also be set to point to a MAC bridge service profile or IEEE 802.1p
mapper service profile. (R, W, Set-by-create) (mandatory) (2 bytes)

OLT its supported multicast MAC address registration methods and the
maximum number of filtering table entries at the ONU.
Multicast MAC address registration method 1 byte
Maximum number of static registration entries 2 bytes
Maximum number of dynamic registration entries 2 bytes
The bits of the multicast MAC address registration method field are assigned
as follows:
Bit Name Setting
1 (LSB) Static MAC address registration 0: not supported
1: supported

2 Dynamic MAC address registration 0: not supported


1: supported

3..8 Reserved 0

(R) (mandatory) (5 bytes)


Multicast MAC address registration mode: This attribute allows the OLT to specify the
multicast MAC address registration method.
0 Disable multicast MAC address filtering
1 Static MAC address registration
2 Dynamic MAC address registration
In L2-based multicast operation, the OLT handles the IGMP/MLD protocol of
the network and the ONU filters the multicast data stream as instructed by the
OLT. ONU may support the static MAC address registration method and/or
the dynamic MAC address registration method according to its filter
implementation.
In the static MAC address registration method, the OLT provisions all
available multicast addresses at the ONU. For each of the available addresses,
the OLT also provides a status flag, which designates either pass or drop.

10 Rec. ITU-T G.988 (2012)/Amd.1 (05/2014)


In the dynamic MAC address registration method, the OLT provisions
multicast addresses allowed at the ONU. A frame whose DA matches the
provisioned MAC destination group address is forwarded to the output port.
Frames whose DA is a MAC group address (except for the broadcast address)
and does not match any of the provisioned allowed MAC group addresses are
discarded. The target range of MAC address that is handled in this filtering
mode is 0x01-00-5E-00-00-00 through 0x01-00-5E-7F-FF-FF for IPv4
multicast traffic and 0x33-33-00-01-00-00 through 33-33-FF-FF-FF-FF for
IPv6 multicast traffic.
(R, W) (mandatory) (1 byte)
Aging timer: This attribute sets the aging timer value in seconds that is called the multicast
address listener interval in IGMP/MLD specifications. The ONU starts or
restarts the timer when an entry is added or overwritten in the multicast MAC
address filtering table. If the timer expires, the ONU changes the
corresponding pass/drop flag to drop in case of static MAC address
registration, or removes the corresponding Multicast destination MAC address
entry in case of dynamic MAC address registration. The configurable value is
0 to 0x0F-FF-EF seconds and is common for all MAC address entries. The
aging timer can be separately enabled or disabled in each multicast MAC
address filtering table entry.
(R, W) (optional) (3 bytes)
Multicast MAC address filtering table: This attribute is a list that specifies multicast MAC
address filtering configurations. Each entry contains:
GEM port-ID 2 bytes
Secondary key 2 bytes
Filter 1 byte
Multicast destination MAC address 6 bytes
The first four bytes of each entry are treated as a key into the list. The
secondary key shows the entry number for a given GEM port.
The bits of the filter byte are assigned as follows:
Bit Name Setting
1 (LSB) Pass/drop 0: drop
1: pass

2 Aging 0: disabled
1: enabled

3..6 Reserved 0

7..8 Add/remove 10: Clear entire table (set operation)


00: Remove this entry (set operation)
01: Add/overwrite this entry (set operation)
Upon ME instantiation, the ONU sets this attribute to an empty table.

threshold, in TQs, associated with the queues that are to be present in the
REPORT MPCPDU generated by the ONU if the threshold type is
aggregated threshold. The queue occupancy included in the queue #n report
field in the REPORT MPCPDU is always less than or equal to the
provisioned value of the #n threshold, while observing the frame boundaries.
Each list entry is as follows:
– threshold index number: 0-3 (1 byte)
– aggregated threshold value (2 bytes)
A set action to a particular value overwrites any existing entry with the same

2.16) Clause 9.3.34, Ethernet frame extended PM 64-Bit


Add clause 9.3.34 as follows:
This managed entity collects some of the performance monitoring data at a point where an Ethernet
flow can be observed. It is based on the Etherstats group of [IETF RFC 2819] and [IETF RFC 2863].
Instances of this managed entity are created and deleted by the OLT. References to received frames
are to be interpreted as the number of frames entering the monitoring point in the direction specified
by the control block.
For a complete discussion of generic PM architecture, refer to clause I.4.
Relationships
An instance of this managed entity may be associated with an instance of an ME at any
Ethernet interface within the ONU. The specific ME is identified in the control block
attribute.
Attributes
Managed entity ID: This attribute uniquely identifies each instance of this managed entity.
To facilitate discovery, it is encouraged to identify instances sequentially
starting with 1. (R, Set-by-create) (mandatory) (2 bytes)
Interval end time: This attribute identifies the most recently finished 15-minute interval. If
continuous accumulation is enabled in the control block, this attribute is not
used and has the fixed value 0. (R) (mandatory) (1 byte)
Control block: This attribute contains fields defined as follows:
Threshold data 3 id: (2 bytes) This attribute points to an instance of the
threshold data 3 managed entity that contains PM threshold values. When PM
is collected on a continuously-running basis, rather than in 15-minute
intervals, counter thresholds should not be established. There is no
mechanism to clear a TCA, and any counter parameter may eventually be
expected to cross any given threshold value.
Parent ME class: (2 bytes) This field contains the enumerated value of the
ME class of the PM ME's parent. Together with the parent ME instance field,
this permits a given PM ME to be associated with any OMCI ME. The
supported ME classes are:
46 MAC bridge configuration data
47 MAC bridge port configuration data
11 Physical path termination point Ethernet UNI
98 Physical path termination point xDSL UNI part 1
266 GEM interworking termination point
281 Multicast GEM interworking termination point
329 Virtual Ethernet interface point

20 Rec. ITU-T G.988 (2012)/Amd.1 (05/2014)


162 Physical path termination point MoCA UNI
Parent ME instance: (2 bytes) This field identifies the specific parent ME
instance to which the PM ME is attached.
Accumulation disable: (2 bytes) This bit field allows PM accumulation to be
disabled; refer to Table 9.3.32-1. The default value 0 enables PM collection.
If bit 15 is set to 1, no PM is collected by this ME instance. If bit 15 = 0 and
any of bits 14..1 are set to 1, PM collection is inhibited for the attributes
indicated by the 1 bits. Inhibiting PM collection does not change the value of
a PM attribute, but if PM is accumulated in 15-minute intervals, the value is
lost at the next 15-minute interval boundary.
Bit 16 is an action bit that always reads back as 0. When written to 1, it resets
all PM attributes in the ME, and clears any TCAs that may be outstanding.
TCA disable: (2 bytes) Also clarified in Table 9.3.32-1, this field permits
TCAs to be inhibited, either individually or for the complete managed entity
instance. As with the accumulation disable field, the default value 0 enables
TCAs, and setting the global disable bit overrides the settings of the
individual thresholds. Unlike the accumulation disable field, the bits are
mapped to the thresholds defined in the associated threshold data 1 and 2 ME
instances. When the global or attribute-specific value changes from 0 to 1,
outstanding TCAs are cleared, either for the ME instance globally or for the
individual disabled threshold. These bits affect only notifications, not the
underlying parameter accumulation or storage.
If the threshold data 1/2 ID attribute does not contain a valid pointer, this
field is not meaningful.
Thresholds should be used with caution if PM attributes are accumulated
continuously.
Control fields: (2 bytes) This field is a bit map whose values govern the
behaviour of the PM ME. Bits are assigned as follows:
Bit 1 (LSB) The value 1 specifies continuous accumulation, regardless
of 15-minute intervals. There is no concept of current and
historic accumulators; get and get current data (if
supported) both return current values. The value 0
specifies 15-minute accumulators exactly like those of
classical PM.
Bit 2 This bit indicates directionality for the collection of data.
The value 0 indicates that data is to be collected for
upstream traffic. The value 1 indicates that data is to be
collected for downstream traffic.
Bits 3..14 Reserved, should be set to 0 by the OLT and ignored by
the ONU.
Bit 15 When this bit is 1, the P bits of the TCI field are used to
filter the PM data collected. The value 0 indicates that PM
is collected without regard to P bits.
Bit 16 When this bit is 1, the VID bits of the TCI field are used to
filter the PM data collected. The value 0 indicates that PM
is collected without regard to VID.

Rec. ITU-T G.988 (2012)/Amd.1 (05/2014) 21


TCI: (2 bytes) This field contains the value optionally used as a filter for the
PM data collected, under the control of bits 15..16 of the control fields. This
value is matched to the outer tag of a frame. Untagged frames are not counted
when this field is used.
Reserved: (2 bytes) Not used; should be set to 0 by the OLT and ignored by
the ONU.
(R, W, Set-by-create) (mandatory) (16 bytes)

inclusive, but had either a bad FCS with an integral number of octets (FCS
error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets (alignment error).
(R) (mandatory) (8 bytes)
Undersize frames: The total number of frames received that were less than 64 octets long
but were otherwise well formed (excluding framing bits, but including FCS
octets). (R) (mandatory) (8 bytes)
Oversize frames: The total number of frames received that were longer than 1518 octets

Figure 9.15-1 – Managed entities associated with RS232/RS485 UNI

2.47) Clause 9.15.1, Physical path termination point RS232/RS485 UNI


Add clause 9.15.1 as follows:
This managed entity represents an RS232/RS485 UNI in the ONU, where physical paths terminate
and physical path level functions are performed.
The ONU automatically creates an instance of this managed entity per port:
• When the ONU has RS232/RS485 ports built into its factory configuration.
• When a cardholder is provisioned to expect a circuit pack of RS232/RS485 type.
• When a cardholder provisioned for plug and play is equipped with a circuit pack of
RS232/RS485 type. Note that the installation of a plug and play card may indicate the
presence of RS232/RS485 ports via equipment ID as well as its type, and indeed may cause
the ONU to instantiate a port mapping package that specifies RS232/RS485 ports.
The ONU automatically deletes instances of this managed entity when a cardholder is neither
provisioned to expect a RS232/RS485 circuit pack, nor is equipped with a RS232/RS485 circuit pack.
Relationships
An instance of this managed entity is associated with each real RS232/RS485 port.
