The IPLC base module can accept and multiplex (add) and demultiplex (drop) up to 32
individual wavelengths into a single fiber pair. If you require more than 32 channels, you
can increase the IPLC node capacity to 64 channels by connecting the IPLC expansion
module to the IPLC base module. This procedure describes how to connect these two
modules and configure the IPLC node to support 64 channels.
Before you begin, you must physically connect the IPLC base module and expansion
module together as follows:
Install the IPLC base module and the IPLC expansion module into the PTX3000 chassis.
BEST PRACTICE:
the same FPC/PIC slot pair in the PTX3000 chassis.
Connect the two IPLC modules together as follows:
Connect the port of the IPLC base module to the
XPN IN
expansion module.
Connect the
XPN OUT
expansion module.
BEST PRACTICE:
