Node Verification Procedures
Use the procedures in this chapter to perform basic node verification. Note that details of isolating possible problems are not described here.
Before performing the procedures in this chapter, you must install the chassis, power it up, and complete the hardware and software installation and verification tasks of the previous chapter.
This chapter contains the following major sections:
•

You need the following test equipment:
•
Handheld power meter
•
Optical spectrum analyzer
•
Fiber cleaning kit
•
Attenuators
•
MU-SC connector (per DWDM interface)
•
Traffic generator for bit error rate testing
Optical Power and Frequency Checks
Perform the following procedures to verify power levels at the DWDM trunk interfaces and the client interfaces.

Verifying power levels at the DWDM trunk interfaces
•
Verifying power levels on the client interfaces
Verifying Power Levels at the DWDM Trunk Interfaces
This section lists procedures for measuring and verifying the power levels at the DWDM trunk interfaces. Following the procedures are tables listing power specifications.
Verifying Transmit Launch Power and Insertion Losses
Perform the following steps to verify the transmit launch power and insertion losses:
Step 1
Power up the OSA and make sure that the OSA wavelength value range is set in the 1530 to 1563 nm range.
Step 2
Connect an OSA to the Tx of the trunk port on the mux/demux connected to the trunk fiber slot 0.
Step 3
Check and record all power levels and frequencies.
Step 4
Using the following tables, compute Minimum Tx power (dBm) minus Maximum Loss (dBm).
Step 5
Verify that the Tx optical power measurements are greater than the above figure.
Step 6
Loop back the Trunk Out port to the Trunk In port on the mux/demux module with a 10 dB attenuator.
CautionYou must add attenuation so that receive power is not too high and does not damage the receiver.
Step 7
Perform a show interface wave command to check the optical power.
Step 8
Refer to the below optical budget losses and compute total losses for connectors and filters.
Step 9
Verify that the optical power figure listed by Cisco IOS is greater than the following figure:
Minimum Tx power (dBm) - total losses
(Total losses = maximum link loss (dBm) + attenuation + other insertion losses)Step 10
Repeat Step 8 through Step 10 for each interface.
Step 11
Repeat Step 1 through Step 10 for the other trunk side, slot 1.
Table 4-1 lists trunk side optical power specifications. Note that for extended range (with SFP) and transparent transponders the specifications are very similar.
Table 4-2 shows the optical link loss for the splitter and unprotected motherboards supported by the Cisco ONS 15540 in the transmit and receive directions.
Table 4-3 shows the optical link loss for the data channels between the 4-channel or 8-channel add/drop mux/demux modules and the transponders, and between the pass-through add and drop connectors on the modules.
Table 4-4 list the optical link loss for the 32-channel terminal mux/demux modules.
Table 4-5 shows the optical link loss for the OSC between the mux/demux motherboard and the optical mux/demux modules.
Verifying Power Levels on the Client Interfaces
Perform the following steps to check the client side interface Tx power.
Step 1
Run a jumper cable from the client Tx port of the first client interface module to the external power meter.
Note
When using a jumper cable to test, the cable should be pretested for its own loss and the same cable should be used for all tests.
Step 2
Set the wavelength on the power meter to 1310 nm.
Step 3
Measure and record the output power of the client side transmit.
Step 4
Compare the measured power with the specifications provided in Table 4-6.
Step 5
Repeat these steps for all other interfaces.
Table 4-6 lists the optical power of the client side interfaces for SM transponders and MM transponders.

1 dBm = decibels per milliwatt. 0 dBm is defined as 1 mW at 1 kHz of frequency and at 600 ohms of impedance.
2 nm = nanometers.
Note
For extended range transponders the optical launch power and receive sensitivity is SFP dependent. If the specifications of the client equipment interfaces do not fall within these ranges, attenuators might be required.
Table 4-7 lists the optical power of the client side interfaces for extended range transponders.
Verifying the Interfaces
Figure 4-1 show examples of interfaces on the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP.
Although the interfaces do not yet carry traffic, verify that the interfaces are administratively up on the client, DWDM trunk, and OSC. Use the show interfaces commands as described in this section. Perform these commands for the following interfaces:
•
Transparent interfaces
•
Transponder wave interfaces
•
OSC wave interfaces
•
Wavepatch interfaces
For more information on interfaces, refer to the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP Configuration Guide and Command Reference.

The laser frequency (channel number) corresponds with the frequency label on the transponder faceplate. Make sure that the laser frequency (channel number) is configured to the proper wavelength using the show interfaces wave command. Compare the frequency with the expected frequency as shown by the show optical wavelength mapping command.
Note
In case the frequency does not match the expected result, check to make sure that the transponder is installed in the correct subslot. For more information on shelf rules, refer to the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP Planning Guide.

Testing the Bit Error Rate
Perform the following procedure to test bit error rate errors:
Step 1
Measure the power level on the BER test transmit and use appropriate attenuation. Connect the BER test set transmit port to the receive port of the first transponder interface to be tested.
Step 2
Measure the power level on all the interfaces using the hand-held power meter. Daisy-chain the remaining interfaces with the appropriate attenuation (approximately 5 dB) in between. The transmit port of the last interface connects to the receive port of the BER test set (see Figure 4-2).
Figure 4-2 Testing Bit Error Rate
Step 3
Loop back the WDM interfaces on the mux/demux modules on slot 0 and slot 1 that connect to the trunk fiber. For systems with splitter motherboards, add 5dB of attenuators to make sure that the laser receive power is not too high. For non-splitter motherboards, add 10 dB of attenuation to make sure that laser receive power is not too high.
Step 4
Clear all errors on the BER test set.
Step 5
Perform a show interface command for each transponder interface.
Step 6
Start the BER test, and verify that the test runs error free for 15 minutes.
If there are errors within the 15 minute test period, remove the daisy chain configuration and try to isolate the problem by performing the BER test on each individual channel.
Step 7
If the system uses splitter protection, perform a shutdown command on the active wavepatch interface and a no shut command on the inactive wavepatch interface.
Step 8
Clear all errors on the BER test set.
Step 9
Perform a show interface command for each transponder interface.
Step 10
Start the BER test, and verify that the test runs error free for 15 minutes.
If there are errors within the 15 minute test period, remove the daisy chain configuration and try to isolate the problem by performing the BER test on each individual channel.
Checking Alarms
Verify that alarms are generated for the following common fault conditions.
Example
The following example shows how do display the alarm status information:

The Cisco ONS 15540 ESP runs in redundant mode only if certain conditions are met. Verify that the prerequisites in Table 4-10 have been met. Then perform the commands as described in the following table.
These examples show the output of the show redundancy capability, show redundancy, and show version commands. The show redundancy command displays capabilities for the active and standby processor cards. Verify that all results in the Sby Compat columns indicate OK.
