D.5.13.7 Output Power Tab

The Output Power tab allows you to assign performance monitoring thresholds for the receive
transponder output power.
Note See Table1-20 on page 1-44 for descriptions of actions that can be performed using the buttons at the
bottom of the window.
D.5.14 Slot Properties—Transmitter Transponder
TheSlot Properties pane displays information about the Cisco ONS 15808 module that is installed in the
slot selected in the NE Explorer tree. Use this properties pane to change the module performance
monitoring thresholds.
The transmitter transponder performs 3R regeneration of the 2.5 Gbps and 10 Gbps optical signal and
provides client signal validation parameters. The module transposes input client signals to appropriate
wavelengths and transmits them to the multiplexing section of the ONS 15808 system. Transmitter
transpondermodules add out-of-band forward error correction (OOB-FEC) signal encoding to the client
signal to improve signal quality and transport distance.
A block diagram is shown in the following figure.
