Transmission Plan

Introduction
A network element can be an Add Drop Multiplexer (ADM) or a Terminal Multiplexer
(TM). An ADM can be part of a ring, a TM is part of a point to point connection. The
transmission plan shows an overview of the network and the traffic. To provide traffic
in the network, cross connections are made in each separate network element.
Design Transmission Plan
Transmission provisioning is based on a transmission plan, which must be available
when the separate network elements are configured. The transmission plan shows:
• the parameters needed for making the cross connections
• which ports are terminating ports
The following hints can be used to set up a transmission plan:
• Make a drawing of the current network configuration (for example a ring) in which
to provision a transmission path. It is important to make clear in this drawing how
the network elements are connected to each other.
Example: LB-side of network element A connected to LA-side of network element
B.
