D.5.17.9 Action Tab

The Action tab allows you to specify the output power setting.
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.5.18 Slot Properties—WCM-EM-Fxx
The Slot Properties pane displays information about the Cisco ONS 15800 or ONS 15801 slot that is
selected in the NE Explorer tree. Use this properties pane to set performance monitoring thresholds for
the module.
Forward error correction (FEC) wavelength converter modules (WCMs) are used at terminal (transmit
direction) and optical add/drop multiplexing (OADM) sites to retime, reshape, and regenerate SONET
and SDH signals.
A block diagram is shown in the following figure.
Low Sets the low threshold for the wavelength converter module Laser 1 output power (in dB) and the alarm severity
level.
High Setsthe high threshold for the wavelength convertermodule Laser 1 output power (in dB) and the alarm severity
level.
Fail Setsthe failure threshold for the wavelength converter module Laser 1 output power (in dB) and the alarm severity
level.

Output Power
Setting The output power setting is used to activate the output power control mode on FEC transponders 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:
•theequalization of the channel downstream from 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.
