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 10):
The method of  claim 3 , wherein the each of the one or more ONUs selects the one or more paths from the plurality of paths and returns the ranging response on the selected one or more paths to make the OLT obtain the ranging result as follows:\n in a case that the plurality of paths are a plurality of wavelength pairs in one optical fiber, the each of the one or more ONUs returns, to the OLT, the ranging response on a path on which a ranging request has been sent; and the OLT calculates a ranging result on the path and calculates ranging results on other paths according to wavelength values; or in a case that the plurality of paths are a plurality of optical fibers, the each of the one or more ONUs simultaneously returns, to the OLT, the ranging response on the path on which the ranging request has been sent and returns, to the OLT, the ranging response on other one or more paths; and the OLT calculates ranging results on the path and on the other one or more paths on which the OLT receives the ranging response; or in a case that the plurality of paths are a plurality of wavelength pairs in a plurality of optical fibers, the each of the one or more ONUs simultaneously returns, to the OLT, the ranging response on the path on which the ranging request has been sent and returns, to the OLT, the ranging response on other one or more paths; and the OLT calculates ranging results on the path and on the other one or more paths on which the OLT receives the ranging response, and calculates 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 OLT receives the ranging response.
