With wireless - it's very easy to determine where the source of an
outage is.... can I access the local side? If so, then dispatch to
remote side..... if not, then dispatch to local side.
How do you do that with fiber? Especially GPON? How do I know if an
outage is caused by "power out to end points" or if something just
"drove through/dug through my fiber lines", without dispatching someone
first to the local side to shoot an OTDR?
Basically, how do you efficiently dispatch to resolve an issue in a
timely fashion with fiber? Is there a way to shoot an OTDR from an SFP
optic so you know if it's a break or a remote end issue before even
dispatching a tech?
