Abstract
A composite network protective/recovering device includes first to fourth input/output (I/O) modules. The first and third I/O modules are operational modules and the second and fourth I/O modules are protective modules. A first span connection group connects the first I/O operational module with the second I/O protective module. A second span connection group connects the third I/O operational module with the fourth I/O protective module to perform span switching. A first bidirectional line switching ring connects the first I/O operational module and the third I/O operational module to form a bidirectional ring which has two lines in each direction. A second bidirectional line switching ring is connected to the first to fourth I/O modules to form transmitting/receiving operational lines which include two lines in each direction and protective lines which include two lines in each direction. Cross-connection (DXC) module performs cross-connecting function between signals which are transferred through the I/O modules and classifies signals to be added or dropped.
