Management of 1830 VWM
Note: This feature is supported only on 7210 SAS-E. It is not supported on 7210 SAS-D and 7210
SAS-K devices.
The 7210 SAS supports use and management of the 1830 VWM CWDM and 1830 VWM DWDM
clip-on device. 1830 VWM is a family of cost-optimized managed WDM passive device, which is
add-on shelf/NE and provides CWDM/DWDM extension to devices that do not have an in-built
CWDM/DWDM capabilities. 1830 VWM can act as an FOADM (Fixed Channel Optical Add-
Drop Multiplexer) or multiplexer/de-multiplexer unit. It allows the operators to use the existing
fiber (or use less fiber) and increase the bandwidth capacity available for carrying service traffic.
For more information about 1830 VWM, see “1830 VWM Product User Guides”.
To manage the device, user needs to plug-in the 1830 VWM shelf to the USB port on the 7210
SAS-E devices.
Introduction to Management of 1830 VWM device
The 1830 VWM device can be used in point-to-point or ring deployments to multiplex multiple
CWDM/DWDM channels over a single fiber. This functionality either reuses the existing fiber or
uses a single fiber to meet the requirements for the always increasing demand for service
bandwidth. Up to 8 fixed CWDM channels is multiplexed over a single fiber using this unit.
