, a 1-channel TD-OADM supports a single channel in West and East directions.
Each Drop port has a West and East port. Data transmitted by the West Drop port is
split from the West fullband port, and data transmitted by East Drop port is split from
the East fullband port. Data on the designated wavelength is blocked from passing
through the fullband ports.

1.3 Add Ports (West and East)
The Add ports (see
) receive (RX) signals on a specific CWDM wavelength. Add
ports are multiplexed on the fullband (West/East) ports. As shown in
, a 1-
channel TD-OADM supports a single channel in West and East directions. Each Add
port has a West and East port. Data received by the West Add port is aggregated on the
West fullband port, and data received by East Add port is aggregated on the East full-
band port. The Add data at the designated wavelength overwrites the data on that wave-
length in the fullband ports.
