The intra-board optical wavelength route can be set for a board (WSD9/WSM9/ROAM) that performs grooming at the optical layer. The intra-board service route is established through the creation of single-board-level optical cross-connection.
Prerequisites
When creating an optical cross-connection of a board, make sure that the optical cross-connection of the single station where this board resides does not occupy the wavelength that the optical cross-connection of the board uses.
Background Information
Single-board-level optical cross-connection and ne-level optical cross-connection are independent from each other. The user can create single-board-level optical cross-connection and configure services based on the planning to realize grooming at the optical layer. However, as for the ne-level optical cross-connection, grooming is realized after automatic computation of the equipment. The configuration of single-board-level optical cross-connection and that of ne-level optical cross-connection are mutually exclusive in terms of resources. When the user configures an optical-layer grooming board with the single-board-level optical cross-connection of one wavelength, this wavelength can no longer be configured for ne-level optical cross-connection.
Procedure
- Click the NE icon in the NE Explorer, and choose from the Function Tree. Click Board-Level Optical Cross-Connection tab in the right-hand interface.
- Click Create. The Create Optical Cross-Connection window is displayed.
- Select the source slot, sink slot, source port and sink port. Click the
button on the right of Source Wavelength or Sink Wavelength. Select the wavelengths from the Available
Wavelengths list. Click 
to add the wavelengths to Selected Wavelengths. - Click OK. The Create Optical Cross-Connection window is displayed.
- Click OK. The created single-board-level optical cross-connection is displayed in the interface.
