Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical network element ( 30, 34 ) comprising a wavelength selective switch, WSS, ( 432, 136 ) with one or more input ports, a working output port ( 38 ) and a separate protecting output port ( 40 ), the WSS ( 432 ) being configurable to a working configuration, in which one or more channels are routed from said one or more input ports to the working output port ( 38 ), and being configurable to a protecting configuration, in which said one or more channels or a subset thereof are routed from said one or more input ports to the protecting output port ( 40 ), or with a working input port ( 42 ) and a protecting input port ( 44 ) and with one or more output ports, the WSS ( 136 ) being configurable to a working configuration, in which one or more channels are routed from the working input ( 42 ) port to the one or more output ports, and being configurable to a protecting configuration, in which one or more channels are routed from the protecting input port ( 44 ) to the one or more output ports, a computer readable medium including program code defining configuration information, a control unit configured to control the WSS ( 432, 136 ) to adopt the working configuration or the protecting configuration based on the predefined configuration information.

Claim (Index 3):
Optical network element of  claim 1  wherein the one or more channels\n which are routed in the protecting configuration from the protecting input port of one of said WSS to one or more output ports of the same WSS or \n which are routed in the protecting configuration to the protecting output port of one of said WSS one or more input ports of the same WSS \n are a subset of the channels\n which are routed in the working configuration from the working input port of this WSS to one or more output ports of this WSS or \n which are routed in the working configuration to the working output port of this WSS from one or more input ports of this WSS.
