The Optical Transport Manager supports the following optical network technologies:

  • Optical Transport Manager for SONET/SDH---manages high-order SONET/SDH

  • Optical Transport Manager for PDH---manages low-order SONET/SDH

  • Optical Transport Manager for WDM---manages WDM networks

    In addition, the Optical Transport Managers support WDM to SONET/SDH cross-correlation and SONET/SDH to PDH cross-correlation.

    The features supported for each network type are described in the following sections.
