Fig. 4 is a flow diagram illustrating a performance detection method for a fronthaul link system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. This fig. 4 shows the implementation of the loop back detection function. As shown in fig. 4, the method includes steps S402 to S414. The method of fig. 4 is described below with reference to the office side optical module 310 and the terminal side optical module 340 in fig. 3.
In step S402, the office optical module 310 sends first management information to the terminal optical module 340, and queries DDM information of the first transmitter 3101, the first probe 3111, the second transmitter 3102, and the second probe 3112 of the office optical module, where the first management information includes a loopback detection instruction.
