Abstract
An optical communication device includes a first data interface providing a first channel and one or more additional data interfaces providing one or more additional channels. A multiplexer generates a multiplexed signal encoding the first channel and the one or more additional channels. An optical transmitter transmits the multiplexed signal over an optical link to a remote device. A controller receives a disable signal identifying the first channel, and in response to receiving the disable signal, causes the optical transmitter to transmit a remote fault signal to the remote device on the first channel of the multiplexed signal, disables the first channel, causes the multiplexer to generate a modified multiplexed signal encoding the one or more additional channels and not the first channel, and causes the optical transmitter to transmit the modified multiplexed signal to the remote device over the optical link.
