By encoding the Wavelength Tracker key once, as the channel ente DWDM network, it can be cost effectively monitored at numerous points as the: channel traverses the network, These Wavelength Tracker detection points are provided at the ingress and egress of each line card which allows remote identification of a fault to within an individual card, fiber span or patchcord. "The enhanced remote visibility provided by the multiple Wavelength Tracker monitor ints negates the need for highly skilled technical staff and expensive test to be sent to the field when fault finding.

The comparatively high cost of spectrum analyzers precludes placing enough of them in a network to give full visibility of the signals passing through every card, which hampers fault location. However, Wavelength Tracker allows for a multiplicity of monitor points, which greatly eases fault finding. 24 ont Sl Tae Wego | aber 2 Sloan woWavelength Tracker Summary The primary purpose of Wavelength Tracker is to facilitate the Alcatel-Lucent Zero Touch Photonic Layer. This enables fully automated design, commissioning and turn-up of services in addition to power control, power monitoring and fault detection. The information supplied by Wavelength Tracker not only allows for remote identification of faulty cards but can also be used to determine high loss patchcords and fibers within a network. Further analysis of the Wavelength Tracker information may also be used to detect fiber macro-bends within the network through analysis of the wavelength dependent loss signature. This allows for the early detection of installation problems before they become traffic effecting. 25 JOM Se Tak Wag Tc | ber 20 eve ingore leeWavelength Tracker Summary Other potential uses of Wavelength Tracker include the measurement of key transmission performance measurements such as total integrated launch power (to determine non-linear penalties), inferred signal OSNR and chromatic dispersion throughout a network. Knowledge of these parameters allows network designers and operators to simulate, monitor and control transmission of alien DWDM signals from third party transponders through the network. Without the visibility provided by Wavelength Tracker it would be difficult to establish the cause of poor performance of these alien wavelengths in a network. 28 OND ss Tac gh Tc ir 250 Sere gy ed toe Aateltucent @WI Wavelength Tracker EncodersTransport Cards Servicss Transport Card fi0G LAN, 106 WAN, OC-182, 106 FC [iG Single & Quad Port Tunable Anyrate br be [f2xGE Mux OT Joc-48,06-12,063.6E, Fe 124 HHOxMulti Rate Mux OT fl0G LAN, OC-192, 106 WAN Hxt0G Mux OT, 10x10 Mux Coherent OT }i0G LAN OC- 768.
