ROADM Power Monitoring


Use the ROADM Power Monitoring subtab to monitor the power equalization functions on nodes that are provisioned for reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexing (ROADM). (The subtab is blank if a 32WSS is not installed.) The graphic shown on the subtab compares the channel power level at the 32 span losses on the network. The span loss verification measures the far-end OSC power with the near-end OSC power.
