| 发明名称 | Transporting data and auxiliary signals over an optical link | ||
| 摘要 | A data transport system for transporting data and auxiliary signals over an optical link comprises a transmitter, a receiver and an optical link. The transmitter and receiver are coupled to a first end of the optical link. The optical link includes a number of optical channels. A controller is coupled to the transmitter and the receiver, and controls the transmitter and the receiver to operate in a first state when data are detected at an input of the transmitter. Data are transported via the data transport system in the first state. The controller controls the transmitter and the receiver to operate in a second state when the data are detected as absent at the input of the transmitter. Data are prevented from being transported via the data transport system in the second state. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A device comprising: a transmitter coupled to a first end of an optical link, wherein the optical link includes optical channels and wherein each of the optical channels is capable of being enabled such that modulated signals are transported or disabled such that no modulated signals are transported; a receiver coupled to the first end of the optical link, wherein a data transport system comprises the transmitter, the receiver, and the optical link; and a controller coupled to the transmitter and the receiver; wherein the controller controls the transmitter and the receiver to operate in: a first state in which data are transmitted and received via modulated signals by enabling one or more of the optical channels; anda second state in which one or more auxiliary signals are transmitted by selectively enabling and disabling two or more of the optical channels and in which one or more auxiliary signals are received by determining which ones of the optical channels have been enabled and which ones of the optical channels have been disabled; and which auxiliary signal is being transmitted or received is determined by which of the two or more of the optical channels are enabled or disabled. | ||
