Embedded ethernet microcontroller for optical monitoring

Abstract

In this paper, we presented the embedded Ethernet microcontroller for optical monitoring. This design is used for fiber monitoring in the FTTH system. The embedded Ethernet microcontroller is used to control the 1x8 optical switches where this switch is to reroute the optical signal in the FTTH system. These systems consisting of two primaries part communicating each other: i)A server consisting of a microcontroller PIC18F97J60 with built-in embedded Ethernet controller module and ii) a client computer. In this system, a microcontroller system is act like web server that store the web pages in their memory, a client computer can access this web page using web browser to monitor and control the microcontroller where the microcontroller is used to control the path of the optical signal by using optical switch.
