Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manage a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) transmission system using graphical user interface (GUI) management software.It applies to individuals who use high-level technical skills and network management software to manage network operations. It is often carried out at a central Network Operations Centre (NOC).No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
