Introduction
This chapter contains the installation procedures for the Cisco ONS 15216 EDFA2.
Hardware Description
The ONS 15216 EDFA2 is logically divided into the following sections:
•
Power Section (-48V A, RET A, -48V B, RET B, and Chassis Ground)
•Optical Section (Fiber Input and Output Ports)
•Communication Section (RS-232, LAN, and Alarm Out)
Standard Precautions
The following standard precautions should be taken when installing the ONS 15216 EDFA2:
•Basic electrical precautions should be taken before powering up the ONS 15216 EDFA2.
•Standard fiber handling and cleaning procedures are considered critical when installing optical networking equipment.
•Eye safety precautions should be observed when handling fiber optic patchcords.
Placement and Power Connection
General Rack Hazards
The following potential hazards should be considered when installing the ONS 15216 EDFA2 within a rack:
•Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature—If installed in a closed or multi-module rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature.
•Reduced Air Flow—Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
•Mechanical Loading—Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
•Circuit Overloading—Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
•Reliable Earthing—Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e., use of power strip etc.).
Rack Installation and Power Supply Procedures
Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that the power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.
Follow these steps to install the ONS 15216 EDFA2 into the rack and correctly set up the power supply:
Step 1 Mount the ONS 15216 EDFA2 in the rack (19 inches or 23 inches reversible ears). Empty rack space is not required above or below the ONS 15216 EDFA2.
Step 2 Connect the -48 VDC power cable to the office fuse panel (user-provided).
a. 1.0A fusing required (user-provided).
b. Use 18 AWG stranded wire (and wire and wire lugs as appropriate).
Step 3 Connect power bus A from the fuse panel to the power terminals on the front of the ONS 15216 EDFA2. (The power terminals are located on front right side of the module). See Figure 3-1.
Step 4 Repeat Step 3 for power bus B.
Step 5 Connect the facility ground to the ONS 15216 EDFA2 side or rear panel ground using #10/32 star washer and 3/4-inch screws (provided on the module).
Step 6 Insert 1.0A fuses into the fuse panel (user-provided).
LEDs should now be illuminated on the ONS 15216 EDFA2.
Communications
The ONS 15216 EDFA2 can communicate in three ways:
•Alarm relay contacts (RJ-45)
•Serial interface (RS-232)
Alarm Relay Contacts (RJ-45)
The ONS 15216 EDFA2 RJ-45 port reports alarm status for the following:
•Loss or degradation of electrical power
•Pump laser overheating or excessive pump current, output power, gain, and case temperature
•Loss or degradation optical network
These alarms can be connected to a network operations center (NOC) network management system (NMS) using the following methods:
•ONS 15454 miscellaneous discrete input
•Office alarm panel/system
Table 3-1 provides the RJ-45 alarm pinout. Table 3-2 defines the ONS 15216 EDFA2 alarms.

Refer to Alarm Definitions for information concerning alarm contacts. Refer to LED Alarm Definitions and Functions for information on the ONS 15216 EDFA2 alarm LEDs.
LED Alarm Definitions and Functions
The ONS 15216 EDFA2 has five LEDs
•POWER
•FAIL
•LOS
•Ethernet (2)
Three of these LEDs, POWER, FAIL, and LOS, are located at the left hand side of the ONS 15216 EDFA2 box. The two Ethernet LEDs are located at the top left and right hand sides of the Ethernet socket. When the module is powered on, an LED test is performed.
POWER LED (Green)
The POWER LED is green. This LED functions as follows:
•On: -48 VDC is within tolerance. (Power BUS A and B are powered normally.)
•Off: No power or power is out of tolerance from the internal power supply. (Power BUS A and B are not powered.)
•Flashing: Power BUS A or B (in duplex mode) has failed or is out of tolerance, or power BUS A (in simplex mode) is out of tolerance.
In the off condition, the first pair of alarm relay contacts in the RJ-45 connector changes from a normally open condition to a closed condition. The LED and alarm automatically reset when the condition clears. (For additional alarm contact closure information, see the "Alarm Relay Contacts (RJ-45)" section.)
FAIL LED (Red)
The FAIL LED is red. This LED functions as follows:
•On: The pump laser bias, pump laser temperature, output power, gain, or case temperature is out of tolerance. (A major internal failure has occurred.).
•Off: The pump laser bias or pump laser temperature is in a specified range.
In the on condition, the second pair of alarm relay contacts in the RJ-45 connector changes from a normally open to a closed condition. If an invalid input optical signal is applied to the ONS 15216 EDFA2, the Fail LED is illuminated. The LED and alarm automatically reset when the condition clears.
LOS LED (Yellow)
The loss of signal (LOS) LED is yellow. This LED functions as follows:
•On: The optical input power to the ONS 15216 EDFA2 is below the loss of input threshold. (A LOS threshold decision occurs.)
•Off: The optical input power is within the input threshold and/or no -48 VDC is present.
In the on condition, the third pair of alarm relay contacts in the RJ-45 connector changes from a normally open condition to a closed condition. The LED and alarm automatically reset when the condition clears.
Ethernet Socket LEDs (2)
Two LEDs are located at the top left and right hand sides of the Ethernet socket. These LEDs are both green. These LEDs function as follows:
•If left Ethernet socket LED is on, the link is up.
•If right Ethernet socket LED is on, there is Ethernet traffic.
SC/UPC Optical Ports
SC/UCP optical ports are as follows:
•Optical input signal to be amplified (INPUT)
–Input must be between -27 dBm and +4 dBm
•Optically amplified output (OUTPUT)
•Optical monitored output signal (MON OUT)
–1% tap of output or 20 dB below output signal
Safety Requirements
Warning Procedures that require the fiber connections to be open must only be performed by service personnel trained in laser safety requirements. Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning Anyone working with the ONS 15216 EDFA2 must not allow their eyes or body to be exposed to the laser beam or to a reflection from a mirror-like surface. Additionally, viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (eye loupes, microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye hazard.
Warning In the event of a fiber cut or loss of connection and there is no input power, the ONS 15216 EDFA2 still has -3.5 dBm of output power.
The SNMP and command-line interface (CLI) commands can be used to increase the accessible level of laser energy, and necessary precautions must be taken to avoid exposure to laser energy when using these commands.
Optical Connection Procedure
Warning Follow all directions and warning labels when working with optical fibers. To prevent eye damage, never look directly into a fiber or connector.
Connect the customer-supplied fiber optic patchcords to the SC/UPC optical ports of the ONS 15216 EDFA2 using the following procedure. Refer to Figure 3-1 while performing this procedure:
Step 1 Clean both ends of the two fiber optic patchcords.
Step 2 Connect the first patchcord between the ONS 15216 EDFA2 OUTPUT connector and the FACILITY LINE connection.
a. Approximately -3.5 dBm.
Step 3 Connect the second patchcord to TERMINAL OUTPUT. Measure and record the total optical power:
a. DWDM/OADM output
b. Terminal transmitter output
Step 4 If optical power at the end of the TERMINAL OUTPUT patchcord is less than or equal to +4 dBm, connect the end to the ONS 15216 EDFA2 input. If the optical power is greater than + 4 dBm, additional optical attenuation is required to bring optical power below + 4 dBm.
Figure 3-1 ONS 15216 EDFA2 Optical Connections
Optical Amplification Operation Verification Procedure
To verify ONS 15216 EDFA2 optical amplification, use the following procedure:
Step 1 Connect an optical power meter to the MON OUT port.
Step 2 Measure and record the output power. The MON OUT port level is -20 dB less than the signal.
Step 3 Verify that the ONS 15216 EDFA2 input and output power are within the range shown in Table 3-3.
For example, if the total input power is between -27 dBm and -5 dBm, expect an output power between -5 dBm and 17 dBm.
