Viewing Configurations

This chapter describes how to use the Cisco ONS 15200 web interface to view ONS 15200 configuration information.

Note Screens for Client Layer Interface Port (CLIP) modules vary according to the configuration of the CLIP modules. CLIP modules can be configured for protected or unprotected operation. The screens in this chapter show protected CLIP modules, and differences are noted.

3.1 Module Configuration

The ONS 15200 web-based interface allows you to view the configuration of each CLIP module installed in the ONS 15200 network. The following sections describe the parameters available for each module.

3.1.1 CLIP Module Summary Screen

The CLIP Module Summary screen (Figure 3-1) displays the configuration of the CLIP module. The screen is divided into three sections:

The General section displays the operating state of the CLIP module.
The DWDM Side section describes the selected configuration options of the CLIP module.
The Client Side section describes the configuration of the CLIP module in relation to the client equipment attached to the ONS 15200 network.

Figure 3-1: CLIP Summary screen

3.1.2 CLIP Module Status Screen

The CLIP Module Status screen displays the operating status of the CLIP module (Figure 3-2). Table 3-1 defines the measurements provided for each parameter.

Table 3-1: CLIP Module Status Screen Value Definitions

Measurement	Definition
Status	Describes the protection status of the module. Normal—The module is operating normally without alarms or warnings. High alarm—The module has an active alarm generated because an upper threshold value was crossed. High warning—The module has an active warning generated because an upper threshold value was crossed. Low alarm —The module has an active alarm generated because a lower threshold value was crossed. Low warning—The module has an active warning generated because a lower threshold value was crossed. Suppressed—The alarm is not displayed.
Value	Displays the real-time value of the parameter as measured by the module.
HAT	High Alarm Threshold—Displays the upper threshold value that causes an alarm to be generated.
HWT	High Warning Threshold—Displays the upper threshold value that causes a warning to be generated.
LAT	Lower Alarm Threshold—Displays the lower threshold value that causes an alarm to be generated.
LWT	Lower Warning Threshold—Displays the lower threshold value that causes a warning to be generated.
Unit	Displays the unit of measure for the values of the selected parameter.

The CLIP status screen (Figure 3-2) is divided into three sections: DWDM Side, Client Side and Environment. Parameters listed in the DWDM Side section describe how the CLIP module is operating. Parameters listed in the Client Side section describe the quality of the signal received from the client equipment. The Environment section provides the board temperature parameter for the CLIP module.

3.1.2.1 DWDM Side

The DWDM Side section of the CLIP status screen describes how the CLIP module is operating. Table 3-2 describes the DWDM parameters.

Table 3-2: DWDM Parameter Definitions

Parameter	Definition
DWDM A RX Power (protected only)	Displays the values associated with the strength of the signal received from the A-side MCU or SCU. Note The DWDM A RX Power parameter is displayed only for protected CLIP modules.
DWDM B RX Power (protected only)	Displays the values associated with the strength of the signal received from the B-side MCU or SCU. Note The DWDM B RX Power parameter is displayed only for protected CLIP modules.
DWDM RX Power (nonprotected only)	Displays the values associated with the strength of the signal received from the MCU or SCU. Note The DWDM RX Power parameter is not displayed for protected CLIP modules.
DWDM Cooling	Displays the values associated with the strength of the current to the Peltier device. The Peltier device regulates the temperature of the laser, which maintains the wavelength of the signal.
DWDM Laser Bias	Displays the value of the current component added to the modulation current in order to obtain a proper operating point for the laser.
DWDM Laser Temp	Displays the values associated with the temperature of the laser that transmits on the ONS 15200 network.

Figure 3-3 shows the RX and TX power measurement points for the DWDM interfaces on a CLIP module.

3.1.2.2 Client Side

The Client Side section of the CLIP status screen describes how the CLIP module is operating. Table 3-3 describes the client access parameters. Figure 3-3 shows the RX and TX power measurement points for the client interfaces on a CLIP module.

Table 3-3: Client Access Parameter Definitions

Parameter	Definition
Client RX Power	Displays the optical power of the signal received from the client equipment attached to the ONS 15200 network.
Client Laser Bias	Displays the value of the current component added to the modulation current in order to obtain a proper operating point for the laser.

3.1.2.3 Environment

The Environment section of the CLIP status screen provides the Board Temperature parameter for the CLIP module. The Board Temperature parameter displays the values associated with the ambient temperature on the surface of the CLIP module, which is located immediately below the TX transponder.

3.1.3 CLIP Module Inventory Screen

The CLIP Inventory screen provides information about the selected CLIP module. The CLIP Inventory screen is divided into four sections: General, Board, RX transponder, and TX transponder.

If an alarm is active on an NE, it is indicated by an LED. The type of path is indicated by the line style between the CLIP modules. A thick line indicates a protected path; a thin line indicates an unprotected path.

TimeSaver To access the CLIP status screen, click the NE circuit graphical representation.
