Method and apparatus of performing ONT wavelength tuning via a heat source

摘要

A method and apparatus of tuning a signal received from a first network terminal at a second network terminal is disclosed. The method may include receiving the signal at the second network terminal. The signal may be operating at a first wavelength. The method may also include determining a port used to receive the signal at the second network terminal, and identifying a predetermined port wavelength used as a basis to shift the first wavelength to the predetermined port wavelength for subsequent signals received. The method may also include transmitting the predetermined port wavelength information to the first network terminal to inform the first network terminal to tune subsequent signals to the desired wavelength for the port.

1. A method of tuning a transmitted signal received from a first network terminal at a second network terminal, the method comprising:
receiving the signal at the second network terminal, the signal operating at a first wavelength; determining a port used to receive the signal at the second network terminal; identifying a predetermined port wavelength used as a basis to shift the first wavelength to the predetermined port wavelength for subsequent signals received; transmitting the predetermined port wavelength information to the first network terminal to inform the first network terminal to tune subsequent signals to a desired wavelength for the port, wherein the predetermined port wavelength is selected from a group of predefined wavelengths; and transmitting a control signal to a heat source to tune the predetermined port wavelength to a next wavelength of the group of predefined wavelengths, wherein the next wavelength is different from the first wavelength.
