NE-Level Optical Cross-Connection

In this user interface, you can configure optical cross-connections on a single NE. 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. NE-level optical cross-connection is the end-to-end optical cross-connection operations within an NE.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, click an NE and choose Configuration > Optical Cross-Connection Management from the Function Tree. Click the NE-Level Optical Cross-Connection tab.

Buttons

Button	Description
Query	Queries the configured services and their status from the NE.
Create	Creates an optical cross-connection.
Delete	Deletes the optical cross-connection that you select. Before you delete the optical cross-connection, make sure that it is inactive.
Print	Exports the current service list to the browser of the operating system for printing or saving.
Fold	Displays optical cross-connections as a group.
Unfold	Displays optical cross-connections contained in a group.

Shortcut Menu Items

Item	Description
Show Wavelength	Selects to show the wavelength information of the selected optical cross-connection.
Manual	Sets the manual optical power adjustment mode for the optical cross-connection.
Auto	Sets the auto optical power adjustment mode for the optical cross-connection.

Parameters

**Table 1** Optical cross-connection parameters
Field	Value	Description
Source Slot	Equipment that supports the master and slave shelf management: shelf ID(shelf name)-slot number-board name Equipment that does not support the master and slave shelf management: slot number-board name	Displays the source slot of the optical cross-connection.
Source Port	For example: 3(RX1/TX1)	Displays the source port of the optical cross-connection.
Source Band	C Band	Currently the Metro equipment supports C band.
Source Wavelength No.	For example: 2	Numbers wavelengths sequentially. Currently 80 wavelengths in C band are supported.
Sink Slot	Equipment that supports the master and slave shelf management: shelf ID(shelf name)-slot number-board name Equipment that does not support the master and slave shelf management: slot number-board name	Displays the sink slot of the optical cross-connection.
Sink Port	For example: 1(IN/OUT)	Displays the sink port of the optical cross-connection.
Sink Band	C Band	Currently the Metro equipment supports C band.
Sink Wavelength No.	For example: 2	Numbers wavelengths sequentially. Currently 80 wavelengths in C band are supported.
Direction	Unidirectional, Bidirectional	Displays the direction of the cross-connection.
Remarks	Character String	Displays the remark information of the cross-connections.
Adjustment Mode	Manual, Auto	Optical cross-connection power adjustment mode. If you select Auto, the dynamic optical add/drop multiplexing board automatically adjusts the attenuation range of the optical attenuator in the board. If you select Manual, you need to manually adjust the attenuation range of the optical attenuator in the dynamic optical add/drop multiplexing board. The Auto option is available for the following types of optical cross-connection trails: Transparently transmitted service, such as FIU>OAU1>WSM9>OAU1>FIU, OAU1>WSM9>OAU1, FIU>OAU1>WSM9>OAU1 and OAU1>WSM9>OAU1>FIU. Add service, such as OTU>WSM9>OAU1>FIU, OTU>WSM9>OAU1 and OTU>RUM9>OAU1. Drop service, such as FIU>OAU1>WSD9>OTU, OAU1>ROAM>D40>OTU and OAU1>WSD9>OTU. For all the optical cross-connections other than the three types described above, you can only select the Manual mode.
