AW: [EFM] PON Optics Telephone Conference 30th Jan
Ariel,
Thanks for the reply. Yes this answers the questin leading to the next one
- can
this be changes so that the PMD sees only zeros, without having to change
the PCS/PMA?
Regards
Tom

Tom,
My perspective on point ii) follows:
The ONU stops forwarding frames at the MAC Control level, this means
that the MAC is idle and not generating frames.
In turn the PCS generates /I/ characters to fill the line.
So the PMD will see serialized /I/ output from the PMA when the ONU is
not gated.
Does this answer the question?
