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 1):
An Optical Network Unit (ONU) comprising an optical receiver, an optical transmitter including a laser, a processor coupled to both the optical receiver and the optical transmitter, and one or more memory devices coupled to the processor, the one or more memory devices storing instructions which, as executed by the processor, result in:\n retrieving first settings from a first storage location in the one or more memory devices and first information associated with the first settings from a second storage location in the one or more memory devices; configuring the optical transmitter using the first settings; receiving a first Upstream_Overhead PLOAM message from an Optical Line Termination (OLT) through the optical receiver; extracting a first set of delimiter bytes from the first Upstream_Overhead PLOAM message; determining that the first information is different than the first set of delimiter bytes; in response to said determination, storing second settings in the first storage location and storing the first set of delimiter bytes in the second storage location, the second settings obtained from the one or more memory devices based on the first set of delimiter bytes; rebooting the ONU; configuring the optical transmitter using the second settings; receiving a second Upstream_Overhead PLOAM message from the Optical Line Termination (OLT) through the optical receiver; extracting a second set of delimiter bytes from the second Upstream_Overhead PLOAM message; reading the first set of delimiter bytes from the second storage location; ascertaining that the second set of delimiter bytes match the first set of delimiter bytes; and in response to said ascertainment, sending a Serial_Number_ONU PLOAM message to the ONT through the optical transmitter; wherein the first Upstream_Overhead PLOAM message, the second Upstream_Overhead PLOAM message, and the Serial_Number_ONU PLOAM message are compliant with ITU-T Recommendation G.984.3.
