Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for establishing a communication channel, preferably an embedded control channel, between a central network node and at least one network unit to be integrated in a communication network including the central network node and an arbitrary but limited number of network units. The central network node is adapted to create and output a wavelength-division multiplex (WDM) downstream signal including downstream channel signals to be transmitted to the network units and to receive a WDM upstream signal including upstream channel signals created by the network units.
