shows a point-to-point configuration with the optical ILA and IPLC.
Figure 1: Point-to-Point Configuration
In this example, the optical ILA is connected to the IPLC in the PTX3000 chassis, which is connected to
compatible PICs in the same chassis through the add and drop ports. The multiplexed wavelengths from
the IPLC are amplified and transmitted in a single fiber toward the line (through the Line OUT port on the
IPLC), which is connected to the optical ILA (through the LINE IN port on the ILA). Based on the distance,
you can have multiple ILAs connected. In this example, there are three ILAs to enable long-distance
transmission.
For more information about the IPLCs, see the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Hardware Guide. For
information about configuring the IPLCs, see the Integrated Photonic Line Card (IPLC) System User Guide.
Front Panel
The front panel of the optical ILA contains six LC port connectors, the ON/OFF button, the console and
management ports, the system status LEDs, and the USB ports.
