Overview

This chapter explains how to optimize EDFA amplifier performance on NCS 1010 by analyzing span loss and setting appropriate gain modes. This chapter provides instructions for enabling gain estimator, performing span analysis, and monitoring status to ensure efficient optical link configuration.

Gain estimator

This topic explains how gain estimators analyze span loss, set the gain mode of EDFA amplifiers, and provide initial target gain settings in optical networks. It also describes the parameters they use and scenarios in which gain estimation is automatically triggered.
