Explains how to set optical controller thresholds, collect performance data at supported intervals, and view current or historical counters for troubleshooting.
Performance monitoring (PM) parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, set thresholds for, and report performance data for early detection of problems. The user can retrieve both the current and historical PM counters for the various controllers in several intervals.
PM for optical parameters include laser bias current, transmit and receive optical power, mean polarization mode dispersion, accumulated chromatic dispersion, and received optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR). These parameters simplify troubleshooting operations and enhance data that can be collected directly from the equipment.
