Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for optical network unit testing are provided. An optical network unit is activated to connect through a multi-channel system to a wavelength channel. A command is issued to the optical network unit to restrict activation requests to a set of wavelength channels allowed for activation by the optical network. In response to detecting a wavelength channel switch being performed by the optical network unit, a target wavelength channel to which the optical network unit switched is detected. Operation of the optical network unit is validated based upon the target wavelength channel.
