ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and program, for evaluating an optical network node. The method comprises providing at least one communication path of the node with a capability by which lasing can occur in the communication path, and detecting whether lasing has been established in the communication path to determine whether the optical node is operational. If no lasing is detected in the detecting, a fault exists in the communication path. The method further comprises determining an insertion loss in the communication path, and determining whether the insertion loss is comparable to a predetermined insertion loss, to confirm whether the node is configured correctly.
