Embodiment Construction

[0047] A method and apparatus for detecting signal faults on a wavelength-by-wavelength basis within an optical network node in an optical network system will be described. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth. It is understood, however, that embodiments of the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In addition, well-known components, structures and techniques have not been shown in detail in order not to obscure the understanding of this description.

[0048]Some portions of the detailed description that follows relate to algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on data bits within a computer memory. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. Here, and in general, an algorithm is considered to be a self-consistent sequence of operations leading to a desir...

Abstract

A method and an apparatus to provide optical equipment protection have been disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes sending a first optical signal from an optical transceiver to a wavelength switch module (WSM), checking a second optical signal received by the optical transceiver after sending the first optical signal, and determining whether the second optical signal corresponds to the first optical signal. Other embodiments have been claimed and described.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to optical network systems, and more particularly, to automatically verifying connectivity within optical network nodes in an optical network system. Background technique [0002] In contemporary optical network systems, multiple optical network nodes may be coupled to each other via optical fibers. Optical signals are transmitted from one optical network node to another optical network node through optical fibers. When installing an optical network node into an optical network system, it may be necessary to pre-configure the optical network node. For example, optical fibers must be connected to the input and output ports of their corresponding optical network nodes in order for the optical network nodes to function properly. [0003] Currently, after the fiber optic cable is connected, the optical signal input to the optical network node needs to be manually adjusted, and the optical signal output is measured using an o...
