This section describes how to configure the service for a ring network.
Refer to Figure 1, the optical NEs (ONEs) A, B, C and D form a ring network, and all the ONEs function as OADM stations.
User1 and User2 communicate with each other. One bidirectional OTU2 service is available between station A and station B. On station A, the TOM board accesses four OTU1 services and then converts them into eight ODU0 services through Any re-encapsulation. The ODU0 services are then sent to the NS2 board, where they are converted into one OTU2 service.

In this example, two TOM boards and an NS2 board should be configured on station A, a TOM board and an NS2 board should be configured on station B.
