Basic function

• 80xODU0/80xODUflex/40xODU1/10xODU2/10xODU2e/2xODU3/1xODU4<->1xOTU4
• Supports mixed transmission of ODU0, ODU1, ODUflex, ODU2, ODU2e, and ODU3 signals.
• Outputs one multiplexed OTU4 optical signal over four wavelengths to the NPS4E board. The NPS4E board then converts the received multiplexed OTU4 optical signal and its own multiplexed OTU4 optical signal over four wavelengths into one multiplexed optical signal.

Cross-connect capabilities

OTN function

• Supports the OTN frame format and overhead processing as defined in the ITU-T G.709.
• OTU4 layer: supports the SM function.
• ODUk (k=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, flex) layer: supports the PM and TCM function, and PM and TCM non-intrusive monitoring functions.

WDM specification

Supports ITU-T G.694.1-compliant DWDM specifications.

ESC function

Supported

PRBS test function

Supports the PRBS function on the WDM side.

LPT function

Not supported

FEC coding

Alarms and performance events monitoring

• Monitors BIP8 bytes (Bursty mode) to help locate line failures.
• Monitors the laser bias current, laser operating temperature, and single-wavelength optical power.
• Monitors OTN alarms and performance events.

• Supports ODUk SNCP.
