Abstract:
An optical network element for a hardware configured optical network includes a first optical port that receives an input optical signal comprising receive control information from the hardware configured optical network. A demodulator optically coupled to the first optical port decodes the receive control information for configuring the optical network element. A modulator having an electrical modulation input that receives transmit control information imparts a modulation onto an optical carrier thereby generating a transmit optical control signal representing the transmit control information. A second optical port transmits the transmit optical control signal representing the transmit control information to the hardware configured optical network.

Claim (Index 86):
The method for automatically establishing a data connection of  claim 81  wherein the encoding at the first transceiver the modulation representing control information by imparting the modulation onto the generated transmit optical signal comprising client data traffic at the wavelength having the modulation frequency that is less than the modulation frequency of the client data traffic, thereby generating the transmit optical control signal that represents the control information comprises imparting a phase modulation onto the transmit optical signal comprising client data traffic at the wavelength.
