Abstract:
1. A wavelength division multiplex terminal for automatic configuration and supervision of switch connections, the wavelength division multiplex terminal comprising: a multiplexer arrangement receiving optical signals from a plurality of transceivers and transmitting a first wavelength division multiplex signal; a first switching matrix having input ports connected to outputs of the transceivers and output ports; a wavelength division multiplexer having inputs connected to said output ports of said first switching matrix; a plurality of wavelength independent optical monitoring receivers each connected to an output port of said first switching matrix, said optical monitoring receivers being configured for receiving first identification signals output from the transceivers and outputting first identification information; and a management unit connected to receive the first identification information from said optical monitoring receivers, said management unit being configured for connecting outputs of the transceivers via said first switching matrix to said inputs of said wavelength division multiplexer according to the first identification signals and supervising the connections of said multiplexer arrangement according to first supervising signals or the first identification signals output from the transceiver.
