Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a radio frequency over glass (RFOG) micronode that converts a first downstream optical signal having a first wavelength to a downstream radio frequency (RF) electrical signal, and converts an upstream RF electrical signal to a first upstream optical signal having a second wavelength; an optical network terminal (ONT) that receives a second downstream optical signal having a third wavelength, from a device other than the micronode, transmits at least one of a configuration command and a status request command to the micronode based on the second downstream optical signal, and transmits a second upstream optical signal having a fourth wavelength; and a wave division multiplexer (WDM) that combines the first and second upstream optical signals from the micronode and the ONT, and splits the first and second downstream optical signals between the micronode and the ONT.
