Use this procedure to configure mixed wavelengths in an NCS 1010 network:
Create a network design. See Manually design a network using Cisco ONP.
Set the properties under the Entity Editor for different combinations of the functionalities.
For example, set the source Add/Drop Type and destination Add/Drop Type to Colored for one circuit. Set the Src Channel Type and Dst Channel Type to Colorless for the second circuit created on the same site. Both channels must add or drop in the same side or direction.
You can select any combination of colored or colorless add/drop channels.
NoteWhen the Scalable Upto Degree is 31, you cannot use the colorless configuration. Therefore, you cannot use mixed configuration when Scalable Upto Degree is set to 31.
