Provided are techniques, devices and systems that enable updating of a reportable parameter table database when a reconfigured optical communication path is formed by switching performed by a branching unit in an undersea optical communication transmission system. A processor may obtain system attributes of each respective segment of a number of segments of the reconfigured optical communication path from a first end point to a second endpoint. The system attributes of each respective segment of the number of segments may be evaluated from the first end point to the second endpoint of the reconfigured optical communication path. A reportable parameter table may be generated based on the evaluated system attributes that includes a listing of operational and structural parameters of system from the first endpoint to the second endpoint of the reconfigured optical communication path.

Enhanced line monitoring and parameter reporting for high fiber count undersea fiber optic transmission systems with multiple switchable branches

A wet plant manager (WPM) platform is disclosed in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, and supports management of Smart Undersea Network Elements (SUNEs) by providing an abstracted view of the same to higher level network management functions within an optical communication system. The optical communication system can include an optical cable system extending between two or more cable landing stations (CLSs). Each CLS may execute a respective instance of a WPM platform service, with the collective WPM platform performing self-coordination such that only one instance of a WPM service is 'active' at any given time. The active WPM service supports a plurality of network topologies architected around SUNEs and 'bridges' them such that requests to communicate with a particular SUNE get handled in a transparent manner without the requesters specific knowledge of which command/response (CR) telemetry path was utilized to satisfy the request.

Optical communication system with distributed wet plant manager

A system and method for establishing new line monitoring system (LMS) baseline data compared to which faults are identified in a line monitoring system of an optical communication system. The new LMS baseline is established by injecting fault signature data associated with previous unrepaired faults into LMS current measurement loop gain data.
