FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62343-4-1 has been prepared by subcommittee SC86C: Fibre

INTRODUCTION
A wavelength selective switch (WSS) is a dynamic module, which is mainly used in a
reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer (ROADM) system to switch all wavelength signals
to their respective required output port in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)
networks. The WSS module has one input port and a plurality of output ports (i.e. 1 x N WSS)
and can be used reversely, such as N input ports and one output port, depending on its
application. It is electrically controlled with software, which directs each wavelength signal
among an input DWDM signal from one input port to the required output port for each
wavelength signal.

4 Basic configuration of WSS interface
The software interface is intended to provide an access to the functions of the WSS module
and be the primary interface to command the unit. The HC controls the WSS module by
sending control signal, as well as command data, to the WSS module via a 12-bit address bus,
a 16-bit data bus, and DPRAM related signal lines such as Read/Write, Chip Enable, and
Output Enable. The HC also receives from the WSS module response signals and status data.
Any address within the DPRAM can be written to via the HC, however many of these values
will be overwritten upon the application of a command to the WSS module. The addresses,
which are identified as inputs, can be found further along in this document. In addition to the
DPRAM interface, RS232 serial communication is also supported by the WSS module.
The WSS module has a non-volatile memory to store the latest setting when requested. A
functional diagram of the WSS module controls is illustrated in Figure 1 below.
