The Optical Line > Parameters subtab allows you to view the Optical Booster (OPT-BST) and Optical Preamplifier (OPT-PRE) optical line parameters.

Port

The card port number.

Port Name

The port name.

Admin State

The port administration state. Choosing an administrative state from the drop-down list and clicking Apply changes the port's service state unless network conditions prevent the change. Admin states include:

  • IS-Puts the port in-service. The port service state changes to IS-NR.

  • IS,AINS-Puts the port in automatic in-service. The port service state changes to OOS-AU,AINS.

  • OOS,DSBLD-Removes the port from service and disables it. The port service state changes to OOS-MA,DSBLD.

  • OOS,MT-Removes the port from service for maintenance. The port service state changes to OOS-MA,MT.

Service State

An autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: Primary State-Primary State Qualifier, Secondary State. Port service states include:

  • IS-NR-(In-Service and Normal) The port is fully operational and performing as provisioned.

  • OOS-AU,AINS-(Out-Of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service) The port is out-of-service, but traffic is carried. Alarm reporting is suppressed. The ONS node monitors the ports for an error-free signal. After an error-free signal is detected, the port stays in OOS-AU,AINS state for the duration of the soak period. After the soak period ends, the port service state changes to IS-NR.

  • OOS-MA,DSBLD-(Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled) The port is out-of-service and unable to carry traffic.

  • OOS-MA,MT-(Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance) The port is out-of-service for maintenance. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are allowed.

Line Direction

The direction of the ring that the port is on (east-to-west or west-to-east).

Type

The type of port. For the OPT-BST amplifier, the possible values are Input Com, Out Com, Input OSC, Output OSC, Input Line, and Output Line. For the OPT-PRE amplifier, the possible values are Input Com, Output Com, Input DC, and Output DC.

Power

The total output power value.

VOA Mode

The actual working mode of the variable optical attenuation.

VOA Power Ref

Variable optical attenuation power value calculated by CTC.

VOA Power Calib

Variable optical attenuation power value entered by the user.

VOA Attenuation Ref

Variable optical attenuation value calculated by CTC.

VOA Attenuation Calib

Variable optical attenuation value entered by the user.

AINS Soak

Automatic In-Service soak time. The duration of time that must pass with an uninterrupted signal before the traffic/termination transitions to the IS-NR (In Service and Normal) service state.

Apply

Applies changes made to the fields in the tab.

Reset

Cancels any changes to the tab and returns the fields to their last-saved settings.
