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 15):
A method for operating a line switching component separable from a line card of a network node comprising:\n when said line switching component is connected to said line card, operating said line switching component in a first operation mode by receiving from an optical transport network an optical input signal at an at least one optical interface of said line card via said line switching component for further processing of said optical input signal at said at least one optical interface and by transmitting an optical output signal from at least one further optical interface via said line switching component to said optical transport network, observing a malfunction at said line card or at said network node or an enforcement for switching said line switching component from said first operation mode to a second operation mode, and when said line switching component is disconnected from said line card, operating said line switching component in said second operation mode by forwarding said optical input signal from an input port of said line switching component to an output port of said line switching component for transmitting said optical input signal as said optical output signal, when said malfunction has been determined or when said enforcement has been determined.
