5.5 Linear ADM Configurations
You can configure ONS 15327s as a line of add/drop multiplexers (ADMs) by configuring one set of
OC-N cards as the working path and a second set as the protect path. Unlike rings, linear (point-to-point)
ADMs require that the OC-N cards at each node be in 1+1 protection to ensure that a break to the
working line is automatically routed to the protect line.

3/Node 1 to Slot 3/Node 2, and from Slot 2/Node 2 to Slot 2/Node 3. You create the protect path by
placing Slot 3 in 1+1 protection with Slot 1 at Nodes 1 and 2, and Slot 2 in 1+1 protection with Slot 4
at Nodes 2 and 3.
