I guess that is the real question. Besides the client ports that are clearly identified by channel number on Muxes, what channels can the special ports handle?
http://www.fs.com/products/43723.html It has 4 special service port options: 1. Expansion Port (Based on what I am seeing, I think this would be to stack another mux if you needed more channels. So I assume it allows all channels to be added besides the client channels?) 2. Monitor Port (I think this is just a tap that you would hook a monitor up to, and be able to see all channels coming through with a meter. I assume not a good idea to add/drop channels through this port)? 3. 1310nm Port (Labeled as 1310, but clearly allows more than just 1310 since tutorial is saying it supports QSFP+ which is 1270 - 1330 nm, so what range does it really support or is there no a range?) 4. 1550nm Port (Labeled as 1550nm, but I wonder if its like the 1330nm?) Would you recommend a monitor port on every mux you buy?
