Abstract
A wavelength shifter module and a method therein for tuning an OTDR signal to at least one pre-selected wavelength in a passive optical network (PON). The wavelength of the OTDR signal is shifted to a pre-selected wavelength to enable a remote node in the optical distribution network ODN of the PON to forward the OTDR signal to a specific drop section in the ODN. The invention also includes a remote node and a method in a remote node for receiving a wavelength shifted OTDR signal having a preselected wavelength and outputting the wavelength shifted OTDR signal to a specific drop section. Furthermore, the invention involves a method for determining the location of a fault section in a drop section.
