v. The present IP settings can be reported using the commands GIP,
GNET, GGATE.
i. Verify output power settings
i. To verify the per-port output power set-point
RPS
This will return the set-point of the per-port output power.
ii. If the set-point is not correct use the command
SOP xx.x
to change the output power set-point where xx.x is the desired per-port
power in units of dBm. See the unit specifications for the allowable per-
port output power range that is user settable.
iii. To verify the actual per-port output power use the command
ROP
which will
return the per-port output power as measured by the unit’s in-
ternal power monitor.
iv. Note: If the laser emission key-switch is off or the unit is in major alarm
then the EDFA will emit amplified optical power so the actual measured
optical output power (reported by the ROP command) will be very low
and not in agreement with the user output power set point (reported by
RPS). This is normal; once the amplifier/laser emission is enabled, the
two values will be in agreement.
v. Note: The amplifier output ports are passively split and have an associ-
ate range of output powers. See Test Data provided with shipping docs
for measured port-to-port power variation.
vi. Note: The maximum user settable per-port optical output power is re-
ported in dBm by using the command
RMP
5. With the above items completed the EDFA may be activated by enabling laser
emission.
