System Description
OLP (Optical Fiber Line Auto Switch Protection System) is a product that used in the protection of optical transmission line, it can realize optical power real-time monitoring and automatic optical fiber line switching.
In optical transmission network, the OLP monitor the optical power of the Primary and Secondary fiber in real time. When the Primary is accidentally broken or the performance is degraded, the OLP will automatically switch the working channel from Primary to Secondary to realize the protection of optical fiber line.
Advantages
l Working in the optical layer, transparent transmission to optical signals.
l High optical performance.
l Carrier grade switching speed.
l Support dual power supplies for redundancy.
l Support NMS for unified OAM.
Applications
l Optical fiber line auto switch protection.
l Real-time monitoring of fiber quality by optical power.

Working Parameters
Working Mode
Auto mode: The channels are switch automatically according to the switching threshold.
Manual mode: The channels are switch by setting manually.
OLP support Manual mode auto-return to Auto mode. In a certain period of time, if the OLP does not have any manual operation, Manual mode will automatically return to Auto mode. The factory default setting is 30 minutes. The available value is 1 to 999 minutes. Auto-return function is disabled if the value is set to 0.
Notes: The OLP equipment should be working on Auto mode after operation completed for preventing protection failure.
Working Channel
OLP will select the working channel automatically according to the optical line status while working under Auto mode.
Working channel can be selected manually by panel key, commands or NMS . While switching the working channel, the Working Mode will be changed to Manual automatically.
Working Wavelength
1310nm or 1550nm can be selected as working wavelength.
switching Threshold
The factory default setting of switching threshold is -30dBm.
In case the optical power of Primary channel is lower than the threshold, OLP will switch the working channel to Secondary.
Switching Delay
Delay switching and Non-delay switching can be seleted in Auto working mode.
Delay switching: In case the optical power of Primary channel is lower than the threshold, OLP will switch the working channel to Secondary channel after M(M=1~999) seconds delay.
Non-Delay switching: In case the optical power of Primary channel is lower than the threshold, OLP will switch the working channel to Secondary channel immediately.
Working Channel Auto-Switching back
Auto Switching Back or Non-auto Switching Back can be selected.
In Auto switching back, while the primary optical line recover, OLP will switch the working channel from Secondary back to Primary automatically. In this mode, delay can be set from 1 to 999 minutes.
But in Non-auto switching back, the working channel will be maintain in the Secondary channel, even if the Primary channel has recovered.
