Port Status
Use the Port Status subtab to view the DWDM port status and to run the ANS function. ANS adjusts the values of the VOAs on the different channel paths to equalize the per channel input power. ANS is run anytime a DWDM card is added or removed from the ONS 15454.
 
Item
Description
Port
Displays the port value. The port is represented in Slot.Port format.
Parameter
Displays the ANS parameter name.
Result
After you run ANS, one of the following statuses is provided for each ANS parameter in the Result column:
 •
Success - Changed—The parameter setpoint was recalculated successfully.
 •
Success - Unchanged—The parameter setpoint did not need recalculation.
 •
Unchanged - Port in IS state—ANS could not modify the setpoint because the port is in IS state.
 •
Fail - Out of Range—The calculated setpoint is outside the expected range.
 •
Fail - Missing Input Parameter—The parameter could not be calculated because the required provisioning data is unknown or unavailable.
 •
Not Applicable State—Ports are not in use.
Value
Displays the parameter value.
Set By
Displays the application that sets this parameter. This field can take the following values:
 •
ANS
 •
APC
 •
Circuit Creation
 •
Raman Wizard.
A parameter could be set by more than one application. For example, VOA Attenuation parameter could be set by both ANS and APC. In this case, individual entries are displayed for ANS and APC.
Last Change
Displays the date and time when the parameter was last modified.
Launch ANS
Launches the ANS function. ANS adjusts the VOAs on the different channel paths to equalize the amplifier per channel input power.
Refresh
Updates the Port Status display.
Help
Displays context-sensitive help.
