Power Failure Low (dBm)
|
Shows the optical power failure low threshold for the port. The threshold is calculated automatically when you run ANS. If the VOA Mode is Constant Attenuation, you can manually change the threshold. The value must be within the optical power range that is specified for the card. (Refer to the "Hardware Specifications" appendix in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.)
If VOA Mode is Constant Power, you cannot change the threshold manually because it is based on the Power setpoint (VOA Power Ref + VOA Power Calib). To change the threshold, you must change the VOA Power Calib value. This adjusts the Power setpoint. The threshold is automatically set to a value that is 5 dB lower than the Power setpoint.
|
Numeric (dB). Double-click the table cell, enter a value, then press Enter.
|
Power Degrade High (dBm)
|
Shows the power degrade high threshold. This power value applies to the corresponding port and is automatically calculated when ANS is run.
This threshold applies to a port that is associated to a VOA (OSC-VOA). In Constant Power mode, the port is always active and the threshold is automatically linked to the Power setpoint (VOA Power Ref + VOA Power Calib). To change the threshold, change the Power setpoint. The threshold will always be 2 dB higher than the Power setpoint.
|
Numeric.
|
Power Degrade Low (dBm)
|
Shows the power degrade low threshold. This power value applies to the corresponding port and is automatically calculated when ANS is run.
This threshold applies to a port associated to a VOA (OSC-VOA) always active in Constant Power mode.
In this case, the threshold is automatically linked to the Power setpoint (VOA Power Ref + VOA Power Calib) that is provisioned. Changing the setpoint will result in changing the threshold (always 2 dB lower).

Warning Invisible laser radiation could be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not stare into the beam directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm could pose an eye hazard. Statement 1056

Shows the power failure low threshold. This power value applies to the corresponding port and is automatically calculated when ANS is run.
This threshold applies to a port associated to a VOA (OSC-VOA) that is always active in Constant Power mode.
The threshold is automatically linked to the Power Setpoint (VOA Power Ref + VOA Power Calib) that is provisioned. Changing the setpoint results in changing the threshold (always 5 dB lower).
The 32DMX is an exception. 32DMX Power Failure Low thresholds apply to ports that are not associated to a VOA. The threshold is calculated automatically when you run ANS. You can manually change the threshold. The value must be within the optical power range that is specified for the card.

Caution Warning thresholds are not monitored by CTC. They must be user-provisioned and monitored through custom alarm profiles.
Step 1 In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the MMU card where you want to change the optical line threshold settings.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Optical Line > Optics Thresholds tabs.
Step 3 If you want to change the warning thresholds, complete the following steps. If not, continue with Step 4.
a. Under Types, choose Warning.
b. Choose the warning interval that you want to provision, either 15 minutes or 1 Day.
c. Click Refresh.
d. Modify any of the warning thresholds shown under the Options column in Table 11-35.
e. Click Apply. If the change affects traffic, a warning message appears. Click Yes to complete the change.

Note The procedure is the same if you are using the alarm expansion panel (AEP). In this case, the number of contacts that are shown on the screen is changed accordingly.
Step 1 Confirm that external-device relays are wired to the ENVIR ALARMS IN pins. See the "DLP-G20 Install Alarm Wires on the MIC-A/P (ETSI Only)" task on page 1-48 (ETSI) or the "DLP-G23 Install Alarm Wires on the Backplane (ANSI Only)" task on page 1-53 (ANSI) for more information.
Step 2 Double-click the AIC-I card to display it in card view.
Step 3 Click the Provisioning > External Alarms tabs.
Step 4 Modify any of the following fields for each external device wired to the ONS 15454 backplane. For definitions of these fields, see the "G72 Provision External Alarms and Controls on the Alarm Interface Controller-International Card" procedure.

Caution When provisioning orderwire for ONS 15454s residing in a ring, do not provision a complete orderwire loop. For example, a four-node ring typically has east and west ports provisioned at all four nodes. However, to prevent orderwire loops, provision two orderwire ports (east and west) at all but one of the ring nodes.
Tip Before you begin, make a list of the ONS 15454 slots and ports that require orderwire communication.
Step 1 In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the AIC-I card to display it in card view.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Local Orderwire tabs or the Provisioning > Express Orderwire tabs, depending on the orderwire path that you want to change. Provisioning steps are the same for both types of orderwire.
Step 3 If needed, adjust the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) dBm values by moving the slider to the right or left for the headset type (four-wire or two-wire) that you will use. In general, you should not need to adjust the dBm values.
Step 4 If you want to turn on the audible alert (buzzer) for the orderwire, check the Buzzer On check box.
Step 5 Click Apply.
Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
NTP-G102 Change Card Service State
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-G46 Log into CTC" task at the node where you want to change the card service state.
Step 2 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Inventory tab.
Step 3 Click the cell in the Admin State column for the card you want to change, and choose an administrative state from the drop-down list:
•IS (ANSI) or Unlocked (ETSI)
•OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked-enabled (ETSI)
Step 4 Click Apply.
Step 5 If an error message appears indicating that the card state cannot be changed from its current state, click OK.
For information about the card state transitions, refer to the "Administrative and Service States" appendix in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
