    Transient Service Interruption Handling Techniques

    Transient service interruption occurs

    to the main optical path

    If the R_LOS alarm occurs to the supervisory

    channel and main optical path simultaneously. if the R_LOS alarm does not occur to the

    supervisory channel, but to the main optical

    path in two directions.

    If the R_LOS alarm does not occur to the

    supervisory channel, but occur to the main

    optical path in one direction

    Check along the signal flow whether the

    optical signal is interrupted transientlyTransient service interruption occurs
