Abstract
An optical network terminal, which includes an optical transmitter, monitors the status of the optical transmitter, such as the output or the power consumption of the optical transmitter, to determine when the optical transmitter is illegally transmitting. When an illegal transmission is detected, the optical network terminal removes power from the optical transmitter.
