Procedure job aid: optical multiplexer/demultiplexer

The Nortel passive optical multiplexer/demultiplexer (OMUX) sends and
receives signals to/from GBIC and SFP transceivers installed in the switch.
It multiplexes and demultiplexes four or eight CWDM wavelengths from a
two-fiber (east and west) circuit. Use the OMUX to create unidirectional
network traffic rings or point-to-point links.

OADMs and OMUXs require no power for their operation. You can remove
