Certification Information
Certification Information
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
Industry Canada (IC) Information
Electronic test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC Part 15
compliance in the United States and from IC ICES 003 compliance in
Canada. However, EXFO Inc. (EXFO) makes reasonable efforts to ensure
compliance to the applicable standards.
The limits set by these standards are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the user guide, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.

SHUT DOWN / RESTART Button
The SHUT DOWN/RESTART button is used to either shut down or restart
(shut down and restart) the unit.
To shut down the RTU-310/310G unit:
Press the SHUT DOWN / RESTART button once. The RTU-310/310G unit
closes all applications and once done, the POWER/STANDBY LED will
flash to indicate that it is safe to disconnect the AC or DC power.
To wake up the RTU-310/310G unit:
Press the SHUT DOWN / RESTART button once while in standby mode.
The RTU-310/310G unit will restart. An LED sequence is displayed on
the RTU-310/310G front panel indicating the booting process. Once
powered up, the POWER/STANDBY LED turns on indicating that the
RTU-310/310G is ready to be used.
To reset the RTU-310/310G unit:
Press the SHUT DOWN / RESTART button for 5 seconds. The
RTU-310/310G unit will shut down without closing applications. Press
the SHUT DOWN / RESTART once again, an LED sequence is displayed
on the RTU-310/310G front panel indicating the booting process. Once
powered up, the POWER/STANDBY LED turns on indicating that the
RTU-310/310G is ready to be used.

Software Version Management using EX-Vu
When the version of EX-Vu remote application does not match with the
RTU-310/310G software load, options to download and match the software
version are displayed.
You can choose the following options:

1. Select Download and install the EX-Vu remote application to match
the current RTU-310 version and click OK.
The current EX-Vu remote application is uninstalled and the other
version of EX-Vu application is downloaded from the RTU-310/310G
and installed on the client machine to match the version of the
RTU-310/310G software load.

installed on the RTU-310/310G unit.
Note: If the version of RTU-310/310G software load (that needs to be installed to
match the EX-Vu version) is not available on the client machine, a rollback
is initiated by the RTU-310/310G unit. In the rollback process, the
uninstalled version of the RTU-310/310G software load is reinstalled.
Software Version Management using TightVNC
The TightVNC service is provided as a part of the RTU-310/310G software
package. In addition to EX-Vu, the TightVNC service can be used to control
the RTU-310/310G. It is used to transfer files from the client machine to the
RTU-310/310G and vice versa. To connect to the RTU-310/310G unit using
TightVNC, the client machine must have TightVNC service installed. Refer
Remote Connection using TightVNC on page 474, for more information.
Note: Unlike EX-Vu, installation of the newly transferred software on the RTU and
the client machine must be done manually. After the installation, when the
software versions of the RTU-310/310G and the client machine match, then
the remote EX-Vu session can be launched. Alternatively, the RTU-310/310G
can be controlled from the Client machine by the TightVNC Service.

EtherSAM (Y.1564) Test Case
ITU-T Y.1564 is the newly introduced standard for turning-up and
troubleshooting carrier Ethernet services. This new methodology is
completely adapted to today’s Ethernet services especially mobile
backhaul and commercial services.
Contrary to other methodologies, EtherSAM supports new multiservice
offerings. It can simulate all types of services that will run on the network
and simultaneously qualify all key SLA parameters for each of these
services. Moreover, it validates the QoS mechanisms provisioned in the
network to prioritize the different service types, resulting in more accurate
validation and much faster deployment and troubleshooting.
