ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling behavior of an element in a passive optical network (PON) is provided. The method includes (i) issuing a message from a first PON element to a second PON element to cause the second PON element to enter or maintain a state of upstream communications, the state of upstream communications having an enabled state or a disabled state, (ii) ranging the second PON element by the first PON element if the state of upstream communications of the second PON element is in the enabled state, and (iii) bypassing the ranging of the second PON element if the state of upstream communications of the second PON element is in the disabled state.
