Optical transport service

Overview

An optical transport service is a wavelength that traverses the network between two endpoints. The path the service takes through an NE is cross-connect (XC).

The NFM-P recognizes the adjoining XCs and managed link XCs as an optical transport service. The NFM-P supports optical transport services between two of the following NEs (7750 SR, 7705 SAR, 7450 ESS, 7210 SAS).

Workflow

The following describes the workflow to configure an optical transport service.


1	Configure cards and timeslots (if applicable on the card type).
2	Configure the rate on the optical NE.
3	Configure optical links to logically bind the ports; the links are used to create XCs.
4	Configure the services by selecting the endpoints on the sites of the service.

Use subject to agreed restrictions on disclosure and use.
