Figure 3-8 Terminal Configuration
The TE-2020 system supports linear ADM network configurations, at the OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48 line
rates. Deploying linear ADMs between the two terminals discussed above creates an add/drop chain. A
Linear ADM is a dual 1+1 Terminal that receives signals from one direction and passes them through to
the next set of optics to continue traversing the network. The Linear ADM is covered in this section as a
Dual 1+1 Terminal Node. In linear ADM configurations, the TE-2020 system supports add, drop, and
pass-through for all cross-connect levels (VT1.5, STS-1/3c/12c/48c) in the shelf. Refer to Figure 3-9.
Figure 3-9 Linear ADM Terminal Configuration
Figure 3-10 is a functional block diagram of the TE-2020 Main Shelf configured as a point-to-point termi-
nal. The first illustration shows a second set of optics within the TE-2020 serving to aggregate optical traf-
fic. The second illustration shows how the additional sets of optics may be utilized as 2 additional point-to-
point terminals. The second illustration could connect the second set of optics to a different LTE (Line Ter-
minating Equipment) than the first set of optics. In a terminal configuration, the optics are typically fibered
between shelves in a top-to-top and bottom-to-bottom arrangement for rows 1 and 2 and one side to the
other side for the OC-192 optics.
