ARRANGEMENT AT A REMOTE NODE, A REMOTE NODE, A CENTRAL OFFICE AND RESPECTIVE METHODS THEREIN FOR SUPERVISION OF A WAVELENGTH DIVISION MULTIPLEXED PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK

摘要

An arrangement at a Remote Node, a Remote Node, a Central Office, a WDM-PON and a method in an arrangement at a Remote Node, and a method in a Central Office are provided for supervision of the WDM-PON. The arrangement comprises at least one filter connected to the feeder fibre links and adapted to separate a data signal and an original OTDR signal received on either of the feeder fibre links. Further, the arrangement comprises a first splitter adapted to receive, from the at least one filter, the original OTDR signal, to split the original OTDR signal into a plurality of OTDR sub-signals and to output, to an N*M AWG, the plurality of OTDR sub-signals. The at least one filter is further adapted to output the original OTDR signal to the first splitter and to output the data signal to the AWG, thereby enabling supervision of the WDM-PON.
