1.2 BASIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS
A very basic Prism system consists of a Host Unit (Host) and a Remote Unit (Remote):
•• The Host is a three rack unit high chassis with multiple cards that mounts in a
standard equipment rack.
•• The Remote consists of multiple electronic and optical modules mounted in an
outdoor enclosure.
On an optional basis, the Prism system supports reverse path diversity. In addition,
various accessory items including a passive Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM)
system, Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer (CWDM) system, and expansion
panels are available as accessories.
Control and monitoring functions are provided by the FlexWave Element
Management System (EMS).
Some examples of FlexWave Prism Systems are shown in Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2,
Figure 1-3.
