Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing diagnostic features for an optical transceiver, in which the optical transceiver uses electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) in order to alleviate distortion of a signal caused by dispersion. A method and apparatus for monitoring the performance of an electronic dispersion compensator by monitoring one or more signals from the electronic dispersion compensator and generating an alarm in the vent that the performance of the electronic dispersion compensator falls below a certain threshold.
