chain. You can quickly and easily configure and enable alarm thresholds at the various
monitoring points on both IPLC modules and the optical ILA.

You can use the integrated photonic line system to transport 100 Gbps coherent DWDM
optics located in either the same or different PTX3000 chassis, a PTX5000 chassis, or
an MX Series chassis—simply make the proper physical connections between the
and DROP ports on the IPLC module and the interface in the chassis. All connections
between the DWDM optics and the IPLC are made through the front panel. The IPLC
base module accepts and then multiplexes 32 individual wavelengths (connected through
the and ports on the front panel) into a single fiber pair. If you require more

than 32 channels, you can connect the optional IPLC expansion module to the IPLC base
module to increase the port capacity of the node to 64 ports.
The wavelengths from the
controlled and then transmitted towards the optical network over the
front panel of the IPLC base module. In the reverse direction, the received signals from
the optical network on the
fiber and then demultiplexed into individual wavelengths and sent to the configured
and ports on the front panel.
DROP
The 32 channels provided by the IPLC base module are known as the odd channels. The
32 channels provided by the optional IPLC expansion module are known as the even
channels. This odd and even designation reflects the default wavelengths the channels
support.
In the multiplexing-add path, the 32 even channels from the IPLC expansion module are
interleaved with the 32 odd channels from the IPLC base module. In the
demultiplexing-drop path, the 32 even channels are separated from the odd channels
using a deinterleaver. All 64 channels go through the main common components used
