Following a fault in a bidirectional optical communication system, the lasers which generate traffic-carrying channels and a supervisory channel are shut down to permit personnel to effect repairs safely. The low power supervisory channel is pulsed on at intervals to determine if the fault is still present, but if a receiver is able correctly to restore frame alignment from such a pulse, the reverse direction supervisory channel is enabled, and following frame alignment in both directions, the main lasers are safely turned on. <IMAGE> |
