To modify the CD value, Complete the “DLP-G545 Modify the Chromatic Dispersion Value for the TDC-CC and TDC-FC Cards” task in the chapter “Change DWDM Card Settings” of the Cisco NCS 2002 and NCS 2006 Network Configuration Guide.
Note Do not change the compensation value directly in one instance. In order to avoid traffic drops and alarms, it is required to change the CD value in steps not too large. For example, if you want to change the CD value of a TDC-CC from -880 to -1320 ps/nm, do not change the CD value in a single step, but in a couple of steps. Change the CD value to an intermediate value of -1100 ps/nm and then to -1320 ps/nm. Change the CD value of the TDC-CC by steps no larger than 330 ps/nm and the CD value of the TDC-FC by steps no larger than 270 ps/nm. This approach of changing the CD value avoids misleading alarms and traffic drops.
Step 3 Run the APC. To run the APC, complete the “DLP-G430 Run Automatic Power Control” task in the Manage the Node document. Step 4 If the APC correction skipped alarm appears, then force the APC correction. Do the following: Step 5 Repeat Step 2 and Step 4 until the CD target value is set. Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
