Description

Technical field [0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method and device for determining a path of a wavelength division device. Background technique [0002] With the development of optical communication technology, wavelength division multiplexing equipment (referred to as "wavelength division equipment") has been more and more widely used. A wavelength division device is generally composed of multiple single boards that implement different functions. The ports of each single board inside the device are connected through the optical fiber or backplane electrical crossover in the network element. The single board ports between the different devices They are connected through optical fibers between network elements. The wavelength division device path refers to the combination of a series of wavelength division boards and optical fiber connections or backplane crosses formed to complete a certain se...

Problems solved by technology

The existing methods for determining the path of WDM equipment are mainly aimed at old OTM WDM equipment, because OTM (Optical Terminal Multiplexer, Optical Terminal Multiplexer) WDM equipment does not have the method of collecting signal flow direction or internal fiber connection , resulting in the routing relationship basically relying on manual maintenance, complicated and error-prone

Therefore, when the communication service opening involves optical channel scheduling, it is generally impossible to carry out refined management and quality monitoring due to unclear pathfinding of the internal routing of the optical channel.
