7.1 OTN Setup and Status
An OTUk button in the navigation area of the Ports Setup screen gives you
access to the OTN setup for the transmitter and/or receiver of the currently
selected port.
OTN (Optical Transport Networking) provides support for optical networking
using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). OTN is defined in the ITU-T
Recommendation G.709 as a set of Optical Network Elements (ONE) connected
by optical fiber links, able to provide functionality of transport, multiplexing,
switching, management, supervision and survivability of optical channels
carrying client signals.
The OTUk interface uses the optical ports.
