Optical module, optical module system and monitor method using the same

A method of monitoring an optical module, comprising:

• wirelessly receiving control commands from a control computer in an optical module;
• executing the control commands in the optical module;
• and
• wirelessly transmitting feedback information relating to execution of the control commands from the optical module to the control computer, wherein:
• executing the control commands and transmitting feedback information to the control computer comprises checking whether a level of a password is qualified or correct for executing the control commands;
• if yes, then executing the control commands;
• if not, then wirelessly transmitting feedback information about the optical module being unable to execute the control commands to the control computer;
• the level of the password comprises an executable control command, and executing the control commands comprises executing the executable control command, and checking whether the executable control command is executed;
• if yes, then wirelessly transmitting feedback information about control command execution completion to the control computer, if not, then wirelessly transmitting feedback information about control command execution failure to the control computer;
• and
• the executable control command further comprises a remote test command, and executing the executable control command comprises checking whether the remote test command is executable;
• if yes, then executing the remote test command:
• and if not, then wirelessly transmitting feedback information about the optical module being unable to execute to the control computer.

An optical module, comprising a transceiving unit, an antenna, and a microcontroller unit (MCU), the transceiving unit being configured to receive control commands from a control computer via the antenna and transmit the control commands to the MCU, the MCU being configured to process the control commands, provide feedback information and transmit the feedback information to the control computer via the transceiving unit, wherein:

• the MCU comprises a command execution unit configured to execute control commands from the control computer, an information feedback unit configured to provide feedback information about command execution fulfillment or command execution failure to the control computer after the command execution unit executes the control commands, and a password level determiner configured to check or determine whether a password level is qualified or correct for executing the control commands on stored code;
• the command execution unit is further configured to execute the control commands from the control computer when the password level determiner gives an affirmative result;
• the control commands comprise a remote test command configured to (i) check or determine whether the remote test command can be executed when the result from the password level determiner is affirmative, and (ii) execute the remote test command when the result from the password level determiner is affirmative;
• and
• the information feedback unit is further configured to provide feedback information to the control computer about (i) control command execution failure when the password level determiner gives a negative result, and (ii) test command execution failure when a result from the command execution unit is negative.

• the command execution unit is further configured to execute the control commands from the control computer when the password level determiner gives an affirmative result;
• the control commands comprise a remote updating command configured to be executed immediately in response to the affirmative result from the password level determiner, otherwise backup content that needs to be updated;
• the information feedback unit is further configured to provide feedback information about pending updating to the control computer when a result from the command execution unit is negative;
• the execution completion judging unit is configured to check or determine whether execution of a remote test command is completed;
• and
• the information feedback unit is configured to (i) provide feedback information to the control computer about (a) command execution failure when (1) a result from the execution completion judging unit is negative or (2) the password level determiner gives a negative result, and (b) test command execution failure when the result from the command execution unit is negative, (ii) perform CRC verification if the result from the execution completion judging unit is affirmative, and (iii) provide feedback information about abnormal CRC verification to the control computer when CRC verification is abnormal, or feedback information about normal CRC verification to the control computer when CRC verification is normal.
