Operation and construction method of network using multi-rate interface panel

摘要

The present invention provides a network at a low cost with a reduced number of components and simple management among networks anticipated to become more and more complicated, the network being capable of quick pass change upon service addition/change and failure occurrence. Namely, the present invention realizes a network configuration unnecessary for replacement of interface panels upon pass change, by using a multi-rate compatible interface panel capable of freely changing a signal type to be processed, under control of an upper level operation.
