PCT No. PCT/GB91/02060 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 29, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 29, 1993 PCT Filed Nov. 21, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/10036 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 11, 1992.A test apparatus is designed for use with a TPON system including a headend station connected via a fibre optic network to a plurality of terminations. The test apparatus is a self-contained unit including a connection for linking the apparatus to a termination, a first detection circuit which detects status signals generated by the termination, and a second detection circuit which detects alarm signals generated in the head-end station and transmitted to the termination in a downstream data frame. The test apparatus in response to the first and second test circuits provides an output which indicates the condition of the termination. In one example, a series of indicator lamps formed on the housing for the test apparatus are lit to provide the appropriate output. |
