Hi All!


Would you mine if I asked a help in clearing OA_OUT_PWR_ABN alarm on my loving customer OTN network. i_f32.gif



Base from NCE Information Center:

Possible Causes

The input optical power of the monitored wavelengths is abnormal. As a result, the difference between the computed output optical power of the multiplexed wavelengths on the transmit-end OA board and the standard power exceeds the threshold.


Procedure

  1. Check whether the line fiber connections are normal and whether the fibers are aged.

  2. Check whether any VOA is not configured on the line. If yes, manually adjust the VOA attenuation to the normal value.

  3. Check whether the alarm threshold is excessively low. If the alarm threshold is excessively low, set the alarm threshold according to the plan of the live network.

  4. Check whether the insertion loss of the board is normal.


Questions:

  1. What parameters I need to check?

  2. What parameters can I adjust? What VOA, in OAU or DWSS20/M40v?

  3. What are the things that I need to consider?

  4. How I can get the Computed output optical power of the multiplexed wavelenths? Right now, we are usin g Channel 80, 79 and 78 in our network.

  5. Where I can see the alarm threshold? Where I can adjust it?



Thank you in advanced. t_0019.gif

Hi there!

1. You need to query the actual input and output optical power, standard input and output optical power, power threshold, and amplification gain of the board that reports the alarm.

2. V-O-A is the adjustable optical attenuator of the board. If an OAU or DWSS20/M40v is installed on the device, you need to adjust the V-O-A value to ensure that the receiving end meets the optical power requirements.

3. You need to pay attention to performance events related to WDM performance and optical power.

4. For a WDM system with wavelengths ranging from 41 to 80, the 80-wavelength specification is used. It requires that the output wavelength of the OA board be +1 dBm. 

Formula: P (multiplexed-wavelength) = P (single-wavelength) + 10lgnFor an 80-wavelength system, 

P (multiplexed-wavelength) =1+ 10lg80 =20.03dBm
For a 79-wavelength system, 

P (multiplexed) =1+ 10lg79 =19.98dBm
For a 78-wavelength system, 

P (multiplexed) =1+ 10lg78 =19.92dBm

5. Set the alarm threshold at the following link:
