2. For optical-layer ASON, configure the WSS, OSC, FIU, and MCA/OPM boards.
3. For electrical-layer ASON and SDH ASON, configure centralized cross-connect boards and tributary/line boards.
The software prerequisites for enabling ASON features are as follows:
1. The NE software version must support the ASON features. Contact Huawei engineers to determine whether the current NE software version supports the ASON features.
2. The version of the mapping NMS that is delivered must support the ASON features.
