Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical communication, and relates to a device and method for supporting automatic optical fiber connection configuration of optical transmission equipment, in particular to the realization of automatic optical fiber connection configuration of optical transmission equipment using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology. Background technique [0002] At present, optical transmission equipment mainly includes two types of WDM equipment and SDH equipment according to the implementation technology. The internal functional modules (or single boards) of optical transmission equipment nodes are connected through optical fiber interfaces to realize the transmission of system optical signals. At present, most of the optical fiber connections between the internal functional modules of the optical transmission equipment in the domestic and foreign industries are realized by direct optical fiber connection through th...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Based on the implementation characteristics of the above-mentioned optical transmission equipment using direct optical fiber connection, when performing maintenance operations such as system cutover, upgrade and expansion during the equipment commissioning period, it is necessary to use manual on-site direct insertion and insertion of optical fibers. The main disadvantage of this method is It includes two aspects: firstly, manual on-site operation must be performed, and remote operation cannot be supported; secondly, manual operation will inevitably cause a long-term interruption of the affected service signals
