OPTICAL TRANSCEIVER MISCONNECTION DISCOVERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447692 titled 'OPTICAL TRANSCEIVER MISCONNECTION DISCOVERY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for identifying misconnections between optical transceiver modules.
- The method allows for monitoring and communication of optical transceiver characteristics between two modules, regardless of their type.
- The purpose is to determine if the modules are correctly connected or mismatched.
- If a mismatch is detected, the method provides information about the transceiver type of the far end module.
- This information can be used by an installer to select and install a module that is compatible with the far end module.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for optical transceiver misconnection identification that allows a simple low-level process to monitor and communicate optical transceiver characteristics information between two optical transceiver modules regardless of their transceiver type to determine if they are correctly connected or mismatched. If a mismatch is determined, the knowledge gained about the transceiver type of a far end module may be obtained (and presented to an installer) and used by an installer to select and install a module that is operationally compatible with the far end optical module.
