Enabling Optical Amplification
1. Enable the EDFA optical operation by turning the laser emission key-switch to
the ON position. Allow 10 seconds for the unit to reach steady state. The Mode
LED light should turn Green and Output Power LED should turn Green.
2. Use the ROP command to read monitored per-port optical output power.
3. With the EDFA active the input ~1550nm should now be amplified to the premise lo-
cations and associated testing can be performed.
4. Note: The optical output monitor port may be used to check ~1550nm service,
5. Further adjustment of the per-port output power may be made while the EDFA is ac-
tive (using the SOP command) to maximize quality of service.
6. Note: With the EDFA inactive (laser emission key-switch off or major alarm state in
the unit) there is no ~1550nm amplified signal emitted from the output ports or moni-
tor port.
7. Note: Turning the laser emission key-switch to the OFF position will cause an output
alarm and an equipment alarm condition on the unit. That is normal.
8. Note: With CWDM models the signal power of ~1310nm and ~1490 data through
the OS and OC ports is not affected by laser enable state.
