An optical provisioning system includes a connection tree table that allows a path to be traced through the network using connection ID, rate, and other information at the nodes on the network. As connections are built, a connection graphics panel is provided to display a representation of the network elements and topology between the network elements. Where topology is not known, it may be entered into the optical provisioning system and shown using a different graphical display element. Within a node, the connections may be built by specifying protection, routing, and optionally concatenation, via a visually intuitive user interface. Termination for the connection may be specified using a port and payload selector dialog that enables information associated with the port to be displayed to improve the port selection process and enables available channels to be viewed in a graphical manner.
