There is proposed a method and a module for real time control of power per optical channel in a multi-channel optical communication line formed by a group of optical elements connected in a chain by fiber spans. The group of elements comprises one or more optical fiber amplifiers (OFA); each of the spans is characterized by its span loss, while each of the OFA is characterized by its gain and its designed output power per channel. The method comprises steps of calculating an expected total input power value (EIP) for a particular optical amplifier (OFA) in the line, measuring a real total input power (MIP) at the particular optical amplifier, and comparing the values. If a difference between the EIP and the MIP at the OFA exceeds a predetermined value, the method (and the module) ensures adjusting the gain of the OFA to maintain its output power per channel constant.

For use in a multi-protocol layered transmissions network including a plurality of network elements, a hybrid network element capable of operating at more than two layers, and a method for displaying a model of the multi-protocol layered transmissions network. The method comprises the steps of: determining different and preferably hierarchically related protocol layers in the multi-protocol layered transmissions network; and for each protocol layer, displaying an overlay including the hybrid network elements if operative in the protocol layer, displaying at least one physical link and/or a logical link interconnecting pairs network elements, wherein displaying a logical link so as to show that transport service along the logical link is at least partially provided by a transmission path on a protocol layer underlying the protocol layer. The method preferably comprises displaying a pair of association links between each logical link and its associated transmission path.

A method of allocating a protection path in a communication network according to a maximum risk level allowed for affecting both main and protection paths by a single damaging event, is disclosed. The method is directed to ensure that for a required level of protection, derived from a maximum risk level allowed, no segments in the protection path, when taken together with any segment of the main path, presents a risk higher than the maximum risk level allowed.

A method is proposed for improving protection of data traffic in an optical ring network, where the data is arranged in SDH/SONET frames and the network supports a standardized MS-SPRING/BLSR protocol. The method comprises providing means to distinguish between a first kind and a second kind of coded protocol messages. The first kind of the messages is a bridge request message sent from node P (a first node) to node Q (a second node) and signaling about a unidirectional signal failure or degradation between the node P and Q, and the second kind of the messages is an acknowledgement message sent from node Q to node P in response to the bridge request message.
摘要:
Dividing a multiplexed optical signal transmitted along a first transmission path into two portions and diverting one of the two portions to a second transmission path and forwarding the other portion of the multiplexed optical signal along that first transmission path, while the energy of the diverted portion comprises the entire spectrum of the multiplexed optical signal. Preferably, the diverted first portion is further divided into at least two parts, each comprising a wavelength range substantially different than the others, and at least one of the two parts is forwarded towards an optical receiver.

A method, a system and a module are proposed for detecting and locating faults in an optical multi channel network composed of network nodes. The method includes assigning different sub-carrier pilot tones to a number of the nodes comprising Network Elements (NE), applying the different sub-carrier pilot tones to any signal added to the network via the respective nodes, checking presence of one or more of the sub-carrier pilot tones at one or more points of the network, and, based on results of the checking, locating a faulty section of the network in case a fault occurred.

A hinge assembly, which permits convenient assembly and disassembly by simple push operations, includes a first part to be secured to a body member and carrying a hinge pin, and a second part to be secured to a pivotal member and carrying a socket for pivotally receiving the hinge pin of the first part. The hinge pin is retractably mounted to the first part so as to be movable to an extended, operative position receivable within the socket of the second part for pivotally mounting the pivotal member to the base member, and to a retracted, released position spaced from the socket of the second part for permitting removal of the pivotal member from the body member. Also described is a cabinet with at least one such hinge assembly on each of the two opposite edges of the main cabinet section and cover section, respectively. One hinge assembly serves as a pivotal mounting of the cover section to the main cabinet section permitting the cover section to be pivoted to its open and closed positions with respect to the main cabinet section; and the other hinge assembly serves as a releasable latch for latching the cover section in its closed position with respect to the main cabinet section.
