Power Failure Low (dBm) |
Shows the optical power failure low threshold for the port. The threshold is calculated automatically when you run ANS. If the VOA Mode is Constant Attenuation, you can manually change the threshold. The value must be within the optical power range that is specified for the card. (Refer to the "Hardware Specifications" appendix in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.) If VOA Mode is Constant Power, you cannot change the threshold manually because it is based on the Power setpoint (VOA Power Ref + VOA Power Calib). To change the threshold, you must change the VOA Power Calib value. This adjusts the Power setpoint. The threshold is automatically set to a value that is 5 dB lower than the Power setpoint. |
Numeric (dB). Double-click the table cell, enter a value, then press Enter. |
Power Degrade High (dBm) |
Shows the power degrade high threshold. This power value applies to the corresponding port and is automatically calculated when ANS is run. This threshold applies to a port that is associated to a VOA (OSC-VOA). In Constant Power mode, the port is always active and the threshold is automatically linked to the Power setpoint (VOA Power Ref + VOA Power Calib). To change the threshold, change the Power setpoint. The threshold will always be 2 dB higher than the Power setpoint. |
Numeric. |
Power Degrade Low (dBm) |
Shows the power degrade low threshold. This power value applies to the corresponding port and is automatically calculated when ANS is run. This threshold applies to a port associated to a VOA (OSC-VOA) always active in Constant Power mode. In this case, the threshold is automatically linked to the Power setpoint (VOA Power Ref + VOA Power Calib) that is provisioned. Changing the setpoint will result in changing the threshold (always 2 dB lower). |

Gain Degrade High (dBm) |
(Display only) Shows the current value of the gain degrade high threshold configured in the card. This threshold applies only when the amplifier is active and in constant gain mode. Gain Degrade High refers to the port's Gain value and is automatically calculated by the TCC2/TCC2P when the amplifier is turned up. The Gain Degrade High threshold is linked to the Gain setpoint. Changing the setpoint changes the Gain Degrade High threshold. The threshold value is always 2 dB higher than the Gain Setpoint value. APC can modify this value based on the number of OCHNC circuits that the amplifier is managing and to compensate for insertion loss due to fiber aging. |
— |
Gain Degrade Low (dBm) |
(Display only) Shows the current value of the gain degrade low threshold configured in the card. This threshold applies only when the amplifier is active and in constant gain mode. Gain Degrade Low refers to the port's Gain value and is automatically calculated by the TCC2/TCC2P when the amplifier is turned up. The Gain Degrade Low threshold is automatically linked to the Gain Setpoint that is provisioned. Changing the setpoint changes the Gain Degrade Low threshold. The threshold value is always 2 dB lower than the Gain Setpoint value. APC can also modify this value based on the number of OCHNC circuits that the amplifier is managing. |

Port |
(Display only) Displays the port number, port type, and direction (RX or TX). For each optical channel (wavelength), two logical ports are associated. Only one port can be active at a time, depending on the port's operating mode. The operating mode, provisioned on the card view Maintenance tab, is either CHAN RX or PASS-THROUGH. Ports 1 through 32 (CHAN-RX) are associated to optical channels configured as add/drop channels. Ports 33 through 64 (PASS-THROUGH) are associated to optical channels configured as pass-through channels. |
— |
Power Failure Low (dBm) |
(Display only) Shows the power failure low threshold. This power value applies to the corresponding port and is automatically calculated when ANS is run. This threshold applies to a port associated to a VOA (OSC-VOA) that is always active in Constant Power mode. The threshold is automatically linked to the Power Setpoint (VOA Power Ref + VOA Power Calib) that is provisioned. Changing the setpoint results in changing the threshold (always 5 dB lower). The threshold is calculated automatically when you run ANS. (Refer to the "Hardware Specifications" appendix in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.) |
— |
Power Degrade High (dBm) |
(Display only) Shows the power degrade high threshold. This power value applies to the corresponding port and is automatically calculated when ANS is run. This threshold applies to a port associated to a VOA (OSC-VOA) that is always active in Constant Power mode. The threshold is automatically linked to the Power Setpoint (VOA Power Ref + VOA Power Calib) that is provisioned. Changing the setpoint results in changing the threshold (always 3 dB higher). |
— |
Power Degrade Low (dBm) |
(Display only) Shows the power degrade low threshold. This power value applies to the corresponding port and is automatically calculated when ANS is run. This threshold applies to a port associated to a VOA (OSC-VOA) that is always active in Constant Power mode. The threshold is automatically linked to the Power Setpoint (VOA Power Ref + VOA Power Calib) that is provisioned. Changing the setpoint results in changing the threshold (always 2 dB lower). |
Numeric |
Power ADD Failure Low (dBm) |
Shows the power add failure low threshold. This power value applies to the corresponding port and is automatically calculated when ANS is run. This threshold applies to the actual measurement of the optical power on the ADD RX port. It is reported as CHAN RX, that is, the power transmitted by the Trunk-TX laser of the TXP/MXP card connected to the 32WSS or 32WSS-L card. |
Numeric. CTC does not allow it to be changed. |

Caution
When provisioning orderwire for ONS 15454s residing in a ring, do not provision a complete orderwire loop. For example, a four-node ring typically has east and west ports provisioned at all four nodes. However, to prevent orderwire loops, provision two orderwire ports (east and west) at all but one of the ring nodes.
Tip Before you begin, make a list of the ONS 15454 slots and ports that require orderwire communication.
Step 1 In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the AIC-I card to display it in card view.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Local Orderwire tabs or the Provisioning > Express Orderwire tabs, depending on the orderwire path that you want to change. Provisioning steps are the same for both types of orderwire.
Step 3 If needed, adjust the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) dBm values by moving the slider to the right or left for the headset type (four-wire or two-wire) that you will use. In general, you should not need to adjust the dBm values.
Step 4 If you want to turn on the audible alert (buzzer) for the orderwire, check the Buzzer On check box.
