APC
(ONS 15454 only) Use the APC subtab to manually run the APC function, disable and enable APC, and view the date and time that the power control setpoint was last checked and modified.
APC functions can only be applied to ports that are in the IS-NR service state.

Parameter
The parameter that was last modified. Parameters can include:
Gain and optical power setpoints on the LINE-TX ports of the OPT-BST, OPT-BST-L, OPT-BST-E, OPT-AMP-L, OPT-AMP-C, and OPT-AMP-17-C cards.
Gain and optical power setpoints on the COM_TX port of the OPT-PRE card.
VOA target attenuation on the COM-RX ports of 32DMX, 32DMX-O, 32DMX-L, 40-DMX-C, and 40-DMX-CE cards.
