In this user interface, you can configure optical cross-connections on a board. Optical cross-connection is the cross-connection at OCh level that can be dynamically created. It can implement wavelength grooming. Optical cross-connection contains board-level optical cross-connection and NE-level optical cross-connection. Board-level optical cross-connection is the optical cross-connection operations on one board.
In the NE Explorer, click an NE and choose from the Function Tree. Click the Board-Level Optical Cross-Connection tab.

| Source Slot |
|
The Source Slot parameter indicates the slot ID of the board where the source port of the board cross-connection path is located. For the board-level optical cross-connection, the source and sink slots should be the same. |
| Source Port | Optical interface number, Null |
The Source Port parameter indicates the source optical interface on the board with optical cross-connect services . |
| Source Band | Band type (C), Null |
The Source Band parameter indicates the band type of the source wavelength of the board-level optical cross-connect service. |
| Source Wavelength No. | Wavelength No., Null, / |
The Source Wavelength No. parameter indicates the wavelength number corresponding to the source port of the board-level optical cross-connect service. |
Source Wavelength |
|
Select a source wavelength in the GUI. ![]() shows that the frequency bandwidth is Standard 50GHz.
When the frequency bandwidth is 37.5GHz or 12.5GHz, you can click any slice to select a wavelength whose frequency bandwidth is 37.5 GHz or 12.5 GHz, and click the slice again to cancel the selection. For frequency spectrum with a small bandwidth (for example, 12.5 GHz), you can flexibly configure channel bandwidths to improve frequency spectrum utilization. When User Define is selected, you can enter an integer ranging from 1 to 32 and click any slice to select a wavelength whose frequency bandwidth is a multiple of 12.5 GHz. |
| Sink Slot |
|
The Sink Slot parameter indicates the slot ID of the board where the sink port of the board cross-connection path is located. For the board cross-connection, the sink and source slots must be the same. |
| Sink Port | Optical interface number, Null |
The Sink Port parameter indicates the sink optical interface of the board-level optical cross-connect service. |
| Sink Band | Band type (C), Null |
The Sink Band parameter indicates the band type of the sink wavelength of the board-level optical cross-connect service. |
| Sink Wavelength No. | Wavelength No., Null, / |
The Sink Wavelength No. parameter indicates the wavelength number corresponding to the sink port of the board-level optical cross-connect service. |
