Abstract:
The embodiments of the invention relate to a line switching component separable from a line card of a network node. The line switching component contains at least one input port for receiving an optical input signal from an optical transport network and at least one output port for transmitting an optical output signal to the optical transport network. The line switching component further contains at least one further output port configured to be connected to an input port of at least one optical interface of the line card and at least one further input port configured to be connected to an output port of the at least one further optical interface of the line card. The line switching component further contains a switchable optical path system configured to operate the line switching component in a first operation mode and to operate the line switching component in a second operation mode.

Claim (Index 1):
A line switching component separable from a line card of a network node, comprising:\n at least one input port configured to receive an optical input signal from an optical transport network, at least one output port configured to transmit an optical output signal to said optical transport network, at least one further output port configured to be connected to an input port of an optical interface of said line card, at least one further input port configured to be connected to an output port of at least one further optical interface of said line card, and a switchable optical path system configured to operate said line switching component in a first operation mode, wherein said switchable optical path system is configured to receive said optical input signal at said at least one input port and to provide said optical input signal via said at least one further output port to said optical interface for further processing of said optical input signal at said optical interface and to receive said optical output signal from said at least one further optical interface at said at least one further input port to transmit said optical output signal via said at least one output port, and to operate said line switching component in a second operation mode, wherein said switchable optical path system is configured to forward said optical input signal from said at least one input port to said at least one output port to transmit said optical input signal as said optical output signal, when a malfunction has occurred at said line card or at said network node or when said second operation mode has been enforced.
