The NS4M board converts signals into one channel of OTU4 signals (shown in the following sequence) and then four channels of ITU-T G.694.1-compliant wavelength signals.

80xODU0/80xODUflex/40xODU1/10xODU2/10xODU2e/2xODU3/1xODU4<->1xOTU4

Supports mixed transmission of ODU0, ODU1, ODUflex, ODU2, ODU2e, and ODU3 signals.

Supports the cross-connection of 80 channels of ODU0/ODUflex signals or 40 channels of ODU1 signals or ten channels of ODU2/ODU2e signals or two channels of ODU3 signals or one channel of ODU4 signals between the NS4M and the cross-connect board.

• Supports the OTU4 interface on the WDM side.
• Supports the OTN frame format and overhead processing by referring to 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.

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

Not supported

• Monitors BIP8 bytes (Bursty mode) to help locate line failures.
• Monitors parameters such as the bias current, temperature, and optical power of the laser.
• Monitors OTN alarms and performance events.

• Supports ODUk SNCP.
• Supports tributary SNCP protection.
