Use this task to provision the optical Raman amplifier parameters.

Before you begin

Follow these steps to provision Raman amplifier parameters.

Procedure

  1. Click Optical Setup in the left panel.

  2. Click the ANS Parameters tab and then click Raman Amplifier to expand it.

  3. Modify any of the settings described in the following table.

    Table 1. Raman Amplifier Parameters for Amplifier Cards

    Parameter

    Description

    Options

    Port

    (Display only) Displays the port number, port type, and direction (TX or RX).

    -

    Status

    Displays the Status of the port.

    Gain Setpoint (dB)

    Target amplifier gain requested by the user.

    -

    Actual Gain (dB)

    (Display only) Displays the actual amplifier gain.

    -

    Pumping Scheme

    (Display only) Displays the pumping scheme that the card uses.

    • Counter-Propagating for the RAMAN-CTP, RMN-CTP-CL, EDRA-1-xx, and EDRA-2-xx cards.

    • Co-Propagating for the RAMAN-COP card.

    Calibration Type

    Calibration type that the card uses.

    The RAMAN-COP card supports only manual calibration. The RAMAN-CTP card supports both automatic and manual calibration. The RMN-CTP-CL card supports only automatic calibration. If a node has both RAMAN-CTP and RAMAN-COP cards, the RAMAN-CTP card supports only manual calibration.

    • Automatic

    • Manual

    • No-Calibration

    Unsaturated Gain Setpoint (dBm)

    Unsaturated target amplifier gain. This field is editable only for the RAMAN-COP card.

    0-50

  4. Click Apply to save the changes.

    The RAMAN port section is displayed.

  5. Expand the RAMAN port to view the pump power details.

    Table 2. RAMAN Pump Power Parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Pump ID

    (Display only) Identifier of the Raman Pump (2 pumps with RAMAN-CTP and 4 pumps with EDRA).

    Pump Power Setpoint (mW)

    (Only for RAMAN-CTP and RAMAN-COP cards) Provisioned value of pump power setpoint. This value is effective only for manual calibration of RAMAN-CTP and RAMAN-COP cards and if the calibration is not performed. The value of this parameter must also be provided for automatic calibration of the RAMAN-CTP card even if the value is not effective.

    Pump Power Target (mW)

    (Display only) Target power set by the internal control algorithm. The result of calibration can be both automatic and manual.

    Pump Power (mW)

    (Display only) Actual power value of the individual pump.

  6. Click Apply to save the changes.

The provision Raman amplifier parameters task is complete.
