Abstract
Systems and methods include receiving Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P) data from an optical network; providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) based on the OAM&P data with the GUI including a topology view; and providing a visualization that includes one of a power readings graph, a spectral analysis graph, and a spectral allocation graph, in the GUI, and the visualization is positioned logically next to the topology view.
Claims16
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform steps of:
- receiving Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P) data from an optical network;
- providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) based on the OAM&P data with the GUI including a topology view;
- and
- providing a visualization that includes a power readings graph, in the GUI, and the visualization is positioned logically next to the topology view, wherein the power readings graph includes a graph of selected optical power on each link in the topology view, and wherein the selected optical power is one of total power, per channel power, and optical service channel (OSC) power.
