Abstract
An OLT operable in a PON and structured to perform OTDR measurements. The OLT comprises an electrical module for generating continuous downstream signals and processing received upstream burst signals according to a communication protocol of the PON; an optical module for transmitting continuous optical signals over a first wavelength, receiving optical upstream burst signals over a second wavelength, and transmitting optical upstream burst signals over a third wavelength, wherein the optical module further includes an ONU traffic processing module being electrically coupled to the optical module and the electrical module, wherein the ONU traffic processing module is configured to emulate one of a plurality of ONUs of the PON, to generate an analysis pattern to be transmitted as an optical upstream burst signal over a third wavelength, and analyze an analysis pattern received in an optical upstream burst signal for the purpose of performing the OTDR measurements.
