The OptiX OSN 550 supports various service networking topologies in the time division
multiplexing (TDM) and packet domains, applicable to a wide range of scenarios.
5.1 Basic Network Topologies
OptiX OSN 550s can form the following network topologies: chain, ring, tangent rings, and ring
with chain.
5.2 Typical Application of Hybrid Networking
In Hybrid networking mode, the OptiX OSN 550 can transport packet services and time division
multiplexing (TDM) services at the same time.
