Abstract:
A system and method for automatically calibrating loopback data in a line monitoring system of an optical communication system. Extra peaks in loopback data are calibrated out of the loopback data used by the system by identifying pairs of peaks in the loopback data associated with test signal transmissions through the same high loss loopback path from opposite ends of the optical transmission path.

Claim (Index 6):
A method of calibrating loopback data in an optical communication system including an optical transmission path and a plurality of repeaters coupled to the optical transmission path, each of the repeaters comprising a high loss loopback (HLLB) path, the method comprising:\n transmitting a first line monitoring equipment (LME) test signal on the transmission path; receiving first LME loopback data from the transmission path in response to the first LME test signal, the first LME loopback data having peaks associated with a location of each of the HLLB paths on the transmission path; transmitting a second LME test signal on the transmission path; receiving second LME loopback data from the transmission path in response to the second LME test signal, the second LME second loopback data having peaks associated with the location of each of the HLLB paths on the transmission path; and identifying pairs of peaks in the first LME loopback data and the second LME loopback data to provide calibrated first LME loopback data and calibrated second LME loopback data, each pair of peaks including a peak of the first LME loopback data associated with one of the HLLB paths and a peak of the second LME loopback data associated with the one of the HLLB paths.
