First Claim
Patent Images
1. An optical network unit (ONU) comprising:
- a passive optical network (PON) interface configured to communicate using physical layer operations, administration, and maintenance (PLOAM) messages; and
a processor coupled to the PON interface, with the processor configured to;
receive a PLOAM reset message comprising a reset level with the reset level comprising an instruction for the ONU to reset a management information base (MIB); and
after receiving the PLOAM reset message;
reset the ONU according to the reset level; and
reset the MIB.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for processing a physical layer operations, administration, and maintenance (PLOAM) reset message. One example method includes receiving the PLOAM reset message comprising a reset level, the reset level comprising an indication of a component of an optical network unit (ONU) to be reset, and resetting the ONU according to the reset level.

10. An optical line terminal (OLT) comprising:
-
a passive optical network (PON) interface configured to communicate with an optical network unit (ONU) using physical layer operations, administration, and maintenance (PLOAM) messages; a memory configured to store identity and state information about the ONU; and a processor coupled to the PON interface, with the processor configured to; detect that the ONU is not responding to optical network terminal management and control interface (OMCI) messages; create a first PLOAM reset message comprising a first reset level, with the first reset level comprising an instruction for the ONU to reset a management information base (MIB); send the first PLOAM reset message to the ONU via the PON interface; detect that the ONU is still not responding to OMCI messages; create a second PLOAM reset message comprising a second reset level that is different from the first reset level; and send the second PLOAM reset message to the ONU via the PON interface. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. A method for an optical line terminal (OLT) to reset a remote optical network unit (ONU), the method comprising:
-
detect that the ONU is not responding to optical network terminal management and control interface (OMCI) messages; create a first physical layer operations, administration, and maintenance (PLOAM) reset message comprising a first reset level, with the first reset level comprising an instruction for the ONU to reset a management information base (MIB); send the first PLOAM reset message to the ONU via a PLOAM channel; detect that the ONU is still not responding to OMCI messages; create a second PLOAM reset message comprising a second reset level that is different from the first reset level; and send the second PLOAM reset message to the ONU via the PLOAM channel. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
