System and method for automatic tuning of an optical transceiver in an optical network

The system of 16, wherein the optical network device is a controller device configured for tapping onto an optical link of the optical network over which the signal is transmitted by the optical transceiver.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for automatically tuning a first optical transceiver, the method comprising:

• sampling a received signal within an optical network to generate a sampled signal, the sampled signal containing a first tuning message transmitted from the first optical transceiver;
• for each of a plurality of signal pattern waveforms, performing a dot product operation of the sampled signal with the signal pattern waveform;
• determining, based on the results of the dot product operations, a matching signal pattern waveform being a given one of the signal pattern waveforms matching the sampled signal.
