An ONT and a method therein for maintenance and administration of the ONT are provided. The ONT is comprised in an Optical Distribution Network, ODN. The method comprises connectingan OLT in the ODN to a maintenance unit comprised in the ONT when a first signal is received from the OLT instructing the ONT to enter a maintenance mode. The method comprises updatingexisting maintenance and administration information in the maintenance unit, the maintenance and administration information relating to the operation of the ONT when receiving new maintenance and administration information from the OLT. The method comprises connectingthe OLT to a host which host is connected to the ONT when receiving, from the OLT, a second signal instructing the ONT to enter an operation mode, or after a predetermined period of time; and operatingthe ONT in accordance with the updated maintenance and administration information in the maintenance unit.

Optical network terminal and a method therein for maintenance of the same

A Wavelength Adaptation Module and a method therein for adapting an Optical Time Domain Reflectometry, OTDR, signal for supervision of Optical Network Terminals, ONTs, in a Passive Optical Network, PON, are provided. The wavelength of the OTDR signal is adapted to have a selected wavelength to enable a splitter in a remote node to forward the OTDR signal to a dedicated group of ONTs in the PON, thereby supervising the fiber links between the remote node and the dedicated group of ONTs. Likewise, a remote node and a method therein for receiving an OTDR signal having a pre-selected wavelength from the Wavelength Adaptation Module and for outputting the OTDR signal to a dedicated group of ONTs with regards to the pre-selected wavelength of the received OTDR signal are provided.

PON supervision using OTDR measurements

A method and arrangement in an Optical Network Terminal, ONT for monitoring the state of an Optical Distribution Network, ODN, in a Passive Optical Network, PON, is provided. The ONT receives an optical signal, from an Optical Line Terminal, OLT, having optical power, Pcausing a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier, SOA, comprised in the ONU, to reach a saturated state. One or more parameters are measured. The parameters relates to the power provided from a power source to the SOA during a predefined time period, where the SOA is in a saturated state during the predefined time period. Information relating to the measured parameters are provided to the OLT and thereby enabling the OLT to compare the current state of the ODN to a previously measured reference state of the ODN.
