摘要： Embodiments of the invention generally provide a method for automatically detecting and provisioning new optical connections in a network element (NE). The detection of the optical connections is generally accomplished via optical scans, and in particular, an optical spectral analysis type scan, which may be conducted at specific times and at specific points within the NE in order to determine an association corresponding to a new connection through the NE. The automatic detecting in provisioning method of the invention may generally be implemented on connections in end terminals (ET), as well as connections in optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) NEs. As such, embodiments of the invention allow for automatic detection and provisioning of optical circuit packs in an optical line system (OLS) based upon optical scans configured to detect the presence of valid incoming client signals through the NE.

摘要： A method for the automatic provisioning of a network element (NE) includes receiving a client signal at a tunable optical translator (OT) in the NE, determining the set of channels supported by the OT that are able to correspond to the client signal, eliminating the channels that have connections, that may be present on a line side of the NE in a laser off scan process, or that have not been equipped or otherwise provisioned for transmission, tuning the OT to each of the remaining channels and determining the optical power level of each channel on a line side of the NE in a laser on scan process. Subsequently, the channel with the highest power level is selected to transmit the client signal and associations for a point to point connection for that channel are added for that OT to a database of associations for the NE.
