Course Description

DWDM Technology Overview

TLC Keyword: DWDMTO

Orderable part #: GSSTDWDMTO 

This instructor-led course provides a technical background as a recommended pre-requisite for product-specific training needed to test, provision, maintain and troubleshoot the Tellabs 7100 and 719X systems. The optical networking technology covered focuses on the same features and functions offered in those systems. The course also serves as an introduction to optical networking that can create a technical foundation for any contributor working with other DWDM equipment in the metro or long haul space.

This course includes an optional end-of-course knowledge test. Participants opting to take the knowledge test must enroll in the DWDM Technology Overview - Knowledge Test (DWDMTOKT) when enrolling this instructor-led course.

After taking this course, participants should be able to:

  • Recognize Optical Networking Terminology
  • Understand DWDM Terminal Module Functions
  • Recognize Line Equipment Functions and terminology
  • Be Aware of the Test and measurement objectives for system turn-up and maintenance
  • Be familiar with Modern Re-configurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) functions and building blocks
  • Understand the options for equipment or facility protection
Prerequisites: None
Audience: This course is designed for the Field Service Engineers, Technicians, Provisioning Staff, Transmission Systems Engineers and any other individuals responsible for testing, operating, provisioning, or maintaining a Tellabs 7100 system.
