Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a method and an apparatus for testing an optical network, which may be applicable to an integrated OTDR and the field of optical network technologies. The method includes obtaining a maximum test time of a single group test; dividing a total test time into at least two groups of single group test time that is not greater than the maximum test time when the total test time is greater than the maximum test time of the single group test; performing the single group tests in sequence according to each single group test time; and instructing optical network equipment to restore to a normal working state when the single group test time corresponding to each single group test ends.
Claims10
A method for testing an optical network, comprising:
- obtaining a maximum test time of a single group test;
- when a total test time is greater than the maximum test time of the single group test, dividing the total test time into at least two groups of single group test time that is not greater than the maximum test time;
- performing the single group tests in sequence according to each single group test time;
- and
- when the single group test time corresponding to each single group test ends, instructing optical network equipment to restore a normal working state.
An apparatus for testing an optical network, applicable to an integrated optical time domain reflectometer, comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain a maximum test time of a single group test;
- a grouping unit configured to divide a total test time into at least two groups of single group test time that is not greater than the maximum test time when the total test time is greater than the maximum test time of the single group test;
- a test unit configured to perform the single group tests in sequence according to each single group test time;
- and
- an instruction unit configured to instruct optical network equipment to restore a normal working state when the single group test time corresponding to each single group test ends.
A passive optical network system, wherein the system comprises central office equipment, wherein
- the central office equipment is configured to obtain a maximum test time of a single group test, divide a total test time into at least two groups of single group test time that is not greater than the maximum test time when the total test time is greater than the maximum test time of the single group test, perform the single group tests in sequence according to each single group test time, and instruct the optical network equipment to restore a normal working state when the single group test time corresponding to each single group test ends.
