Abstract:
The present invention provides an optical fiber monitoring system and method incorporated with an automatic fault protection mechanism. The optical fiber monitoring system includes a primary optical channel, a secondary optical channel, an optical channel fault examination device, a plurality of automatic fault protection devices, and a plurality of optical terminal equipments. When an automatic fault protection device detects a fault, it switches the connection of the optical terminal equipments from the primary optical channel to the secondary optical channel; meanwhile, a test optical channel is selected to be checked by the optical channel fault examination device.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for switching channel connection between multiple optical channels synchronously and automatically. The apparatus employs an optical switch to interface among a plurality of optical channels, and an optical power meter to monitor data transmission over the plurality of optical channels by measuring the optical power level of optical signals over the channel. When signal transmission is detected over a specific optical channel, the optical switch is locked to the specific optical channel allowing data signals over the specific optical channel to be transmitted to a specific device or another optical channel through the optical switch. When no optical signal is detected over the channel, said optical switch will be switched to another optical channel, such that signal monitoring and switching channels among a plurality of optical channels is able to be performed synchronously and automatically.
