  • CONTROLLER DETECTION
    Publication number: 20080138080
    Abstract: In an Optical Network Termination (ONT), a software controlled system, method and computer readable medium includes measuring a modulation current of an upstream laser transmission. The measured modulation current is processed to determine if a continuous transmission state is present, in response to which, a processor of the ONT sends a signal to shut down the upstream laser transmission. The software solution allows reconfigurable parameters including sample rate and shut down procedure.
