Abstract:
A method for activating an Optical Network Unit (ONU) is provided, where the ONU communicates with an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) through a plurality of paths. The method includes: finding the ONU by the OLT on a path of the plurality of paths; and/or selecting one path from the plurality of paths and performs a ranging on the ONU on the selected path, by the OLT. Through this solution, the OLT finds the ONU and performs ranging on each ONU on only one of the plurality of paths, that is, does not activate each ONU on all paths, thereby quickly completing an activation process of a multi-path PON in a multi-path PON structure and improving work efficiency.

Claim (Index 16):
The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the ranging module is configured to select the one path from the plurality of paths according to obtained ONU identity information, information about the plurality of paths and local information and perform a ranging on the one or more ONUs on the selected one path from the plurality of paths, and select the one path on which the quiet window has been opened from the plurality of paths and send a ranging request to the each of the one or more ONUs on the one path; and\n receive the ranging response returned by the ONU, and calculate a ranging result on the one path and calculate ranging results on other paths according to wavelength values; or calculate ranging results on the one path and on other one or more paths on which the ranging response has been received; or calculate ranging results on the one path and on other one or more paths on which the ranging response has been received, and calculate ranging results on other wavelength pairs in a same optical fiber according to wavelength values and the ranging results on the path and on the other one or more paths on which the ranging response has been receive.
