Abstract

See full text

A micronode includes an electrical port connectable to a downstream device, an optical port connectable to a head end having an upstream controller and an electro-optical converter connected to the electrical port and to the optical port and configured to convert electrical signals received from the downstream device at the electrical port to optical signals and to convert optical signals received from the head end via the optical port to electrical signals. The micronode also includes an addressable controller configured to receive a micronode polling request from the upstream controller and to determine when the downstream device is sending signals to the head end and begin a response to the micronode polling request in response to a determination that the downstream device is transmitting information to the head end. Also, an associated method of controlling the micronode.
