Abstract:
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a first optical transceiver. The first optical transceiver includes a set of optical transmitters, an optical multiplexer operatively coupled to the set of optical transmitters, and a variable optical attenuator operatively coupled to the optical multiplexer. The variable optical attenuator is configured to receive a control signal from a controller of the first optical transceiver and modulate a signal representing control information with an output from the optical multiplexer. The control information is associated with the control signal and for a second optical transceiver operatively coupled to the first optical transceiver.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the control information includes (1) a failure message associated with the optical transmitter of the first optical transceiver, (2) an instruction to configure the second optical transceiver, (3) an instruction to activate or deactivate an optical receiver of the second optical transceiver, (4) an instruction to monitor optical signals received at the second optical transceiver, (5) a request for status information of the second optical transceiver, or (6) an identifier of the second optical transceiver.
