According to the company, the Optelian MGT-100 management card provides configuration, alarm report monitoring, and management of all LightGAIN cards in a shelf. Local shelf configuration and commissioning is supported through a standard DB9 serial port, and an intuitive graphical user interface is provided through Optelian's ONM-200 Optical Network Manager software application.
The new MGT-OSC card provides an optical service channel (OSC) in addition to its network management functions of alarm reporting, end-to-end provisioning, optical layer fault management, optical layer maintenance tools, and software downloads. The standard OSC operates at 1510 nm, but pluggable transceivers allow the use of any OSC wavelength compatible with Optelian's MDX passive family. The MGT-OSC is ideal for remote site management--including remote line amplifier sites, for example--as it provides full operations access, say company representatives.
The MGT-100 and MGT-OSC each mount into a single slot of the LightGAIN 6140, 5140 and 3060 optical transport system platforms.
