System and method for programming and controlling a fiber optic circuit and module with switch

摘要

A fiber optic circuit provides signal access and monitoring using a set of various switches. The various switches can be remotely controlled using a programmable controller. This controller implements a method for programming and controlling a fiber optic circuit. The fiber optic circuit includes a plurality of signal connection modules, a signal switching network, and a master controller module. The method receiving a circuit configuration command from a remote computing system, retrieving a connection table containing data entries used to specify how the signal connection modules and the signal switching network are to be configured, constructing a module configuration command for each data entry retrieved from the connection table and transmitting the module configuration command to the corresponding module to configure the fiber optic circuit.
