Field Description
Output Power Setting
Force Optical
Output Power Allowsyou to activate the output power control mode on the FEC transponder and force the transponder to
regulate the optical output power. An improper setting of the transponder output power level could affect
either of the following:
•The equalization of the channel downstreamfrom the optical line, the optical channel S/N in fiber,and
at the end of the optical line.
•The optical channel power at the end of the optical line.
