Abstract:
A carrier office includes an optical line terminal, a first transmit-erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), and a second transmit-EDFA. The OLT is configured to transmit first and second optical signals. The first transmit-EDFA is optically coupled to the OLT and a first feeder fiber, and the first feeder fiber is optically coupled to a first remote node (RN). The first transmit-EDFA is operable between a respective enabled state and a respective disabled state. The second transmit-EDFA is optically coupled to the OLT and a second feeder fiber, and the second feeder fiber is optically coupled to a second RN. The second transmit-EDFA is operable between a respective enabled state and a respective disabled state.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 15 , further comprising, when the remote node status indicates that the second RN is receiving optical signals from the second CO, at least one of:\n ceasing transmission of the second optical signal from the OLT; or ceasing amplification of the second optical signal by the second transmit-EDFA, the cessation of amplification of the second optical signal causing the second transmit-EDFA to substantially inhibit the passing of the second optical signal through the second transmit-EDFA to the first RN.
