Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for automatically provisioning channels in an optical spectrum. A process, according to one implementation, includes a step of monitoring a Media Channel (MC) at an ingress/egress degree of an optical line system configured for operation within an optical spectrum including at least a plurality of MCs. The monitored MC has a spectral range including one or more Network Media Channels (NMCs) assigned to a customer device. Each of the one or more NMCs are provisioned as either a data-loaded signal or a noise-loaded signal. In response to detecting a change in presence of a signal within a modified NMC of the one or more NMCs, the process further includes a step of automatically re-provisioning the modified NMC within the optical spectrum to change the NMC between a data-loaded signal and a noise-loaded signal.
