An apparatus for remotely determining a fault of subscriber terminals and a method thereof, and more specifically, an apparatus by which in a passive optical network (PON) system, a central office determines a remote fault of subscriber terminals, and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus for determining a remote fault of subscriber terminals includes: a frequency analysis unit recognizing a fault occurrence of a subscriber terminal from an upstream signal and analyzing the frequency spectrum of the upstream signal; and a fault determination unit selecting a specific frequency corresponding to the shape of the spectrum, determining a diagnosis signal corresponding to the specific frequency, transmitting a message requesting to upward transmit the diagnosis signal to each ONT, finding a peak frequency from the frequency spectrum of the diagnosis signal transmitted by the ONT, determining a fault of the subscriber terminal by comparing the peak frequency with the selected specific frequency. |
