Configure optical signal to noise ratio

Want to summarize with AI?

Log in

Use this procedure to configure the minimum acceptable optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) on supported controller optics cards to ensure signal quality and system alarm function.


Use this task to configure the minimum acceptable Optical Signal to Noise ratio (OSNR) value on the 1.2T, 2.4TX, and 2.4T cards.

The OSNR alarm is raised if OSNR goes below this value.

The range is 0–4000 (in units of 0.01db).

Procedure

  1. Enter the controller opticsR/S/I/Posnr-low-thresholdosnr-valuecd-low command to configure the minimum acceptable OSNR.

    Example:

    This sample configures the minimum acceptable OSNR on the controller optics.

    
    RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
    RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#controller optics 0/0/0/7
    RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-Optics)#osnr-low-threshold 40
    RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-Optics)#commit

    This sample shows the minimum acceptable OSNR configured on the controller optics.
