A method, a system and a module are proposed for detecting and locating faults in an optical multi channel network composed of network nodes. The method includes assigning different sub-carrier pilot tones to a number of the nodes comprising Network Elements (NE), applying the different sub-carrier pilot tones to signals added to the network via the respective nodes, checking presence of one or more of the sub-carrier pilot tones at one or more points of the network, and, based on results of the checking, locating a faulty section of the network in case a fault occurred.
