The U2000 Web LCT provides the configuration of optical cross-connections. This function realizes cross-connection at the OCh level and grooms services by wavelengths, for future
network development.
Introduction to Optical Cross-Connection
Optical grooming is the configuration of logical wavelength routes, realized by optical cross-connection. This function meets the user's requirement of managing the services at the optical layer.
Configuring the Edge Port
An edge port refers to the port that is connected to another NE by fiber. Setting an edge port is to set an optical port of an NE as a connection point between this NE and another NE. You need to configure the edge port before creating a single station optical cross-connection.
Creating Board-Level Optical Cross-Connection
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 optical cross-connection.
Creating NE-Level Optical Cross-Connection
Optical cross-connection defines the routes of wavelengths. Through the creation of NE-level optical cross-connection, the routes of inter-board services are configured.
Deleting Optical Cross-Connections You can delete the related optical cross-connection when the service cancel or service adjustment is required.
Application Example
This section takes project R as an example to describe the configuration and grooming of optical cross-connections on ONEs of different node types.
