Abstract:
The present invention discloses a passive optical network communications method, reporting, by an optical network unit, ONU, a calibration record of the ONU, where the calibration record includes an ID of a calibrated wavelength channel; sending a first message to the ONU when the OLT determines, according to the calibration record, that a target wavelength channel ID corresponding to a target wavelength channel to which the ONU needs to switch is not in the calibration record, where the first message includes a forced wavelength switching flag; and instructing the ONU to switch to the calibrated target wavelength channel. In this way, the ONU can implement wavelength switching quickly after calibrating a new wavelength channel so as to perform data communication over the calibrated new wavelength channel.

Claim (Index 25):
The communications apparatus according to  claim 24 , wherein the second communications unit is further configured to receive a fourth message sent by the OLT, wherein the fourth message comprises a wavelength channel calibration indication bit; and\n the second processing unit is further configured to: calibrate all new wavelength channels according to the wavelength channel calibration indication bit; or, calibrate a specified new wavelength channel according to the wavelength channel calibration indication bit, wherein the all new wavelength channels comprise an OLT-expected wavelength channel identified by an OLT-expected wavelength channel ID and the specified new wavelength channel, and the specified new wavelength channel is a wavelength channel specified according to an ID of a to-be-calibrated wavelength channel in the fourth message or is a wavelength channel specified according to a quantity of to-be-calibrated wavelength channels and IDs of the to-be-calibrated wavelength channels in the fourth message.
