Hello everyone!
Today, I will share with you the main features of MPLA and MPLB control boards.
OLT MA/EA5800-X17/X15/X7 uses control boards MPLB and MPLA(E) and MA/EA5800-X2 uses only control board MPSA. There are three hardware versions of MPLA – H901MPLA, H902MPLA and H903MPLA, and two hardware versions of MPLB: H901MPLB and H902MPLB. Detailed information about these boards we can see on the next tables:
