<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a correlating mechanism between non-related control information and OXC ports that avoids unnecessary manual provisioning. <P>SOLUTION: An optical cross connect 40 includes a database 44 which correlates each of its outgoing OSCs (Optical Service Channels) with the section traces corresponding to the ports serviced by the OSC. Periodically, the optical cross connect 40 transmits the correlated section traces over each OSC to inform a receiving optical cross connect 40 of the channels in the channel group related with the OSC. Any changes in configuration of the outgoing channels of an optical cross connect cause the section traces to be updated automatically. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
