Steps
Complete the following steps to verify the integrity of a DWDM line.
1 |
Result: The Line PM Report window opens. | ||||||||
2 |
Expand the required circuit pack by clicking on the plus sign (+) next to the circuit pack. Select the required port and click Select. Result: The performance monitoring parameters appear. | ||||||||
3 |
Provision the Time Period parameter 15 Min and the Number of Bins parameter All. Then move all the Available Parameters to Selected Parameters by clicking Select All. Click Apply to obtain the Line PM Report. Result: The Line PM Report appears. The parameters should be within acceptable ranges. Reference: Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer Extend (DMXtend) Applications and Planning Guide, 365-372-324, for the acceptable parameter ranges. | ||||||||

Trouble may be in optical and/or fiber connections. Trouble may also be in the circuit packs. If report indicated trouble when the report was obtained from the near end of the span, trouble may be in the receive direction. If the report indicated trouble when the report was obtained from the far end of the span, trouble may be in the transmit direction. Check optical fiber and connections. Clean optical fiber connections. Reference: Procedure 14-3: Clean optical fibers, dual LC adapters and LC lightguide buildouts (LBOs) If no trouble was found in the optical fiber, click the Alarm List button to obtain the NE Alarm List. Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer Extend (DMXtend) Alarm Messages and Trouble Clearing Guide, 365-372-326 to clear/isolate the trouble. | ||||||||
