Abstract:
An optical network unit (ONU) of a gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) adapts to an optical line termination (OLT) to which it is coupled. The ONU determines a type of the OLT to which it is coupled, and based on the type, configures an optical transmitter of the ONU to be compatible with the OLT. The ONU can also determine which OMCI software stack to load based on the type of the OLT.

Claim (Index 21):
An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, as executed by a computing device, perform a method comprising:\n receiving, at a first apparatus, a first physical-layer management message from a second apparatus over an optical communication link; and retrieving first information related to a configuration of the first apparatus from a first storage location; extracting second information from the first physical-layer management message; determining that the first information is different than the second information; in response to said determination that the first information is different than the second information:\n replacing the first information in the first storage location with the second information; \n obtaining optical transmitter configuration data based on the second information; and \n changing a configuration for an optical transmitter of the first apparatus using the optical transmitter configuration data to change one or more settings for a transmit laser in the first apparatus to change a crossing-point of an optical transmission eye diagram by the first apparatus.
