Use the Optical Side subtab to view and manage sides. When 40-WXC-C cards are installed, DWDM
nodes can be connected to two different spans when configured in single-shelf mode, and up to eight different spans when configured in multishelf mode. The sides are identified by the letters, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. Each side identifies a span to which the node is connected.

Displays side settings. ANS assumes that every DWDM port has a line direction parameter that is either Side A to Side B or Side B to Side A. ANS automatically configures the mandatory optical connections according to following main rules:
• |
Cards equipped in Slots 1 to 6 have a drop section facing Side A. |
• |
Cards equipped in Slots 12 to 17 have a drop section facing Side B for DWDM nodes in non-mesh networks. |
• |
Nodes in DWDM mesh networks have sides A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H. |
