[alcatel-nsp] ISAM 7360 GPON Provisioning

[Sexton, Shane]

So long as your not doing any RF (1550nm) downstream you can utilize
multiple wavelengths for NGPON2. We are only deploying a single NGPON2
wavelength today and have not chosen to combine GPON and NGPON2 splitters
as we have RF on those older splitters.
