**Table 1** Functions supported by OSN 1800 series NEs
Function	Entry in Document	Supported Board Type	Description
Creating NEs	Creating and Configuring NEs > Creating NEs	-	Users can create NEs in two ways: manually create a single NE, or search for NEs and implement automatic creation of NEs in batches.
Creating Fibers	Creating and Configuring NEs > Creating Fibers	-	Users can create fibers on a NE.
Configuring NE data	Managing NG WDM NEs > Configuring Board Parameters	-	When configuring WDM services, you need to configure different boards in the network.
Configuring DCNs	Managing NG WDM NEs > DCN Management	SCC board, OTU board, line or tributary board, OSC board	The Web LCT communicates with NEs, and manages and maintains network nodes through DCNs. The supported solutions are HWECC, IP over DCC, and OSI over DCC.
Configuring NE time	Managing NG WDM NEs > Configuring the NE Time	-	Users can synchronize NE time with the Web LCT server.
Configuring clock	Managing NG WDM NEs > Physical Clock Refer to Synchronization > IEEE 1588v2 in the related Feature Description.	OTU board	Physical clock ensures frequency synchronization, which is the prerequisite for clock synchronization. A Precision Time Protocol (PTP) clock is compliant with the IEEE 1588 V2 protocol and can realize synchronization of frequency and time. Hence, the scheduled synchronization index of the entire network is greatly improved.
Configuring WDM protection	Refer to WDM Protection in the related Feature Description.	Optical Line Protection: OLP board Intra-Board 1+1 Protection: OLP board, OTU board Client 1+1 Protection: SCS board, OLP board, OTU board, tributary board SW SNCP Protection: OTU board ODUk SNCP Protection: OTU board	-
Configuring optical cross-connections	Managing NG WDM NEs > Configuring Optical Cross-Connections	-	Optical cross-connections cross-connect optical signals and are not related to the types of carried services.
Configuring WDM services	Refer to Service Configurations > Configuring WDM Services in the related Commissioning and Configuration Guide.	-	Electrical cross-connections cross-connect electrical signals and are closely related to the types of carried services.
Configuring SDH services	Refer to Service Configurations > Configuring SDH Services in the related Commissioning and Configuration Guide.	TSP board	Only the OptiX OSN 1800 supports this function.
Configuring overheads	Refer to OTN Overheads Technology in the related Feature Description.	OTU board	The OTN processing module inside the board processes the OTN overheads and thus helps the equipment monitor signals and report the performance events of the signals.
Configuring Ethernet features	Refer to Ethernet Features in the related Feature Description.	LEM18 board	Only the OptiX OSN 1800 supports this function.
Configuring packet features	Refer to Packet Features in the related Feature Description.	EG4C board, EM6F board, HUNQ2 board	The OptiX OSN 1800 series equipment supports multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), MPLS-transport profile (MPLS-TP), pseudo wire emulation edge-to-edge (PWE3), and ATM technologies, with which a pure PTN network, or Hybrid network can be provisioned.
IP Ping	Refer to GUI Reference(MSTP/WDM/RTN) > NE Explorer(MSTP/WDM/RTN/Marine/PTN) > NE-Level Function > Configuration > IP Ping Test (MSTP/RTN/WDM) of Online Help.	This is a network feature irrelevant to boards.	Only the packet subrack of OptiX OSN 1800 , OptiX OSN 1800 V , OptiX OSN 1832 X8 and OptiX OSN 1832 X16 support this function Navigation Path: In the NE Explorer, choose Configuration > IP Ping Test> from the navigation tree.
Data Service Performance Test	Refer to GUI Reference(MSTP/WDM/RTN) > NE Explorer(MSTP/WDM/RTN/Marine/PTN) > NE-Level Function > Diagnosi&Maintenance > Data Service Performance Test of Online Help.	Packet Processing Board	Only the packet subrack of OptiX OSN 1800 and OptiX OSN 1832 X8 support this function In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose Diagnosis&Maintenance > Data Service Performance Test from the Function Tree.
Loopback	Refer to GUI Reference(MSTP/WDM/RTN) > NE Explorer(MSTP/WDM/RTN/Marine/PTN) > NE-Level Function > Configuration > Ethernet Service Management (MSTP/RTN/WDM) > E-LAN Service > Loopback of Online Help.	Packet Processing Board	Only the packet subrack of OptiX OSN 1800 , OptiX OSN 1800 V , OptiX OSN 1832 X8 and OptiX OSN 1832 X16 support this function Navigation Path: In the NE Explorer, click the NE and choose Configuration > Packet Configuration > Ethernet Service Management > E-LAN Service. Then click the Loopback tab.
Periodic Loopback Detection	Refer to GUI Reference(MSTP/WDM/RTN) > NE Explorer(MSTP/WDM/RTN/Marine/PTN) > NE-Level Function > Configuration > Ethernet Service Management (MSTP/RTN/WDM) > E-LAN Service > Periodic Loopback Detection of Online Help.	Packet Processing Board	Only the packet subrack of OptiX OSN 1800 , OptiX OSN 1800 V , OptiX OSN 1832 X8 and OptiX OSN 1832 X16 support this function Navigation Path: In the NE Explorer, click the NE and choose Configuration > Packet Configuration > Ethernet Service Management > E-LAN Service.
