摘要 |
The invention is related to a method to diagnose an optical communication network comprising a control system (CS), an optical hub (HUB) and multiple optical network terminators (NT), where the hub communicates with all the network terminators via an inband management channel, where in case one network terminator (NT) disturbs the communication from the network terminators to the hub and the communication from the hub to the network terminators is functional, the control system sends a shut off command to one network terminator (NT), checks if the disturbance is gone, if the disturbance is not gone, sends a pulse mode activation command to this network terminator, checks if there is a superposition signal (SIS) of the disturbance signal (DS) with a pulse mode signal (PM)and marks the network terminator (NT) as bad, if the pulse signal is not superimposed.
