Configuration Networking Diagram

This topic describes how to configure an OCh trail with the optical line protection (OLP) on
the OptiX OSN 6800. This configuration example adopts a link network.

Service Requirements

Figure 1 shows a link network that consists of two optical NEs, that is, NE1 and NE2. Each
NE is an OTM station. The service requirements are as follows:

User 1 can communicate with User 2 and a bidirectional OCh trail with the OLP protection
exists between NE1 and NE2.

Card Configuration

In this example, one NS2 board and one OLP board are configured on both NE1 and NE2.

Service Signal Flow and Parameter

Planning
This topic describes how to configure the signal flow of an OCh trail and how to plan
parameters for the trail.

Service Signal Flow

A bidirectional OCh trail with optical line protection (OLP) exists between NE1 and NE2.

Figure 1 shows the signal flow between NE1 and NE2. Figure 2 shows the intra-station signal flow of
NE1 and NE2.

Parameter Planning
NOTE:

When creating OCh trails, ensure that the wavelength of an OTU board matches the wavelength of a
connected multiplexer or demultiplexer board.
  In the case of a static multiplexer or demultiplexer board, such as M40 and MR2, the
wavelength of the OTU board must be the same as the wavelength of the port on the
multiplexer or demultiplexer board that is connected to the OTU board.
 In the case of a dynamic multiplexer or demultiplexer board, such as WMS9 and RMU9, the
wavelength of the OTU board must match the band of the multiplexer or demultiplexer
board that is connected to the OTU board. In the preceding example, boards WSM9 and
WSD9 belong to C bands.

Configuration Process
This topic describes how to create an OCh trail with the OLP protection.

Prerequisites
You are an NMS user with "Operator Group" authority or higher.

Procedure

1. Create the OCh trail. Choose Service > WDM Trail > Create WDM Trail (traditional style) from
the main menu or select Bearer Network Service Configuration in Application Center and
choose Service > WDM Trail > Create WDM Trail (application style) from the main menu. For
details, see Creating an OCh Trail.

NOTE:

o In the case of an OCh trail without dynamic cross-connections, that is, with pure
static cross-connections, you need not create such an OCh trail manually. Such an
OCh trail can be searched out directly after a trail search.
o If the source board and sink board of the OCh trail are boards such as LDGD and
LQMD that can be used for intra-board 1+1 protection, you must perform the trail
search to search for OTUk trails after the OCh trail is created. Otherwise, the cross-
layer creation of a Client trail is affected. Specifically, the created Client trail is
inconsistent with the Client trail searched out after the trail search.
