3.1.3 Optical Hub
A single unprotected facility configuration can be used to interconnect various pieces of previously
deployed network equipment. In this application, the TE-2020 acts as a “Hub” shown in Figure 3-7 in the
center of these legacy pieces of equipment.
The system can connect to completely independent network elements without the use of traditional
SONET protection schemes. This allows for other levels to provide any protection schemes. The cross-
connect matrix within the TE-2020 is used to interconnect each unprotected interface to the others at an
STS-1, 3c, 12c, 48c, or 192c level. The card slots normally used for protection are now available for traffic
as an unprotected working facility.
The unprotected configurations of the TE-2020 system can still be expanded with the use of additional
