Interoperability with OPTera Long Haul 1600OPTera Long Haul 1600 complies with Telcordia specifications. Within thesestandards, scope for variation exists in some details of the implementation. Forexample, the Telcordia standards do not specify what is correct behavior whena facility is taken out of service. Also, signaling limitations in the protocolsprevent the exchange of some aspects of configuration data across theinterface; the operator must ensure that both ends of the interface areconfigured to be compatible. The operator must also be cautious when takingfacilities out of service since the subtending equipment can no longer operatenormally.
