Transponder Cards

Table D-353 Field Descriptions for the Output Power Tab (continued)

Field	Description
Low	Sets the low threshold for the wavelength converter module Laser 1 output power (in dB) and the alarm severity
	level.
High	Sets the high threshold for the wavelength converter module Laser 1 output power (in dB) and the alarm severity
	level.
Fail	Sets the failure threshold for the wavelength converter module Laser 1 output power (in dB) and the alarm severity
	level.

D.5.17.9 Action Tab

	The Action tab allows you to specify the output power setting.
Table D-354	Field Descriptions for the Action Tab
Field	Description
Output Power	The output power setting is used to activate the output power control mode on FEC transponders and force
Setting	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 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.

Click Execute to apply your changes to the setting. Click Update to retrieve the current setting from the NE.

Note See Table 1-20 on page 1-44for 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.
