Abstract
An optical line terminal (OLT) determines when an optical network terminal (ONT) has become a rogue ONT, and then identifies the rogue ONT so that service can be restored. The OLT identifies the rogue ONT by comparing the received power levels with the levels that would be expected during normal operation.
