Access Description
LOSTH Loss of signal
(input power)
threshold
Integer
(–3100 to
–1500,
–3000
default)
Read-write Alarm notifies operations personnel if
the optical input signal of the ONS
15216 EDFA2 drops below a level that
impacts proper operation of optical
network. Set this attribute at a value
that is appropriate for the intended
application so that the alarm condition
is meaningful. Consult with the Cisco
TAC to determine the threshold value
for your application. As a guideline,
Cisco recommends setting the
threshold value at 3 dBm below the
current input power level of the
amplifier. Valid entries are between
–3100 and –1500 dBm times 100. For
example, if the total input power of the
amplifier is –24 dBm and the loss of
input power threshold required is –27
dBm, the loss of input power alarm
threshold is –2700.
LOSHYST Loss of signal
(input power)
hysteresis
Integer
(0 to 1000,
100
default)
Read-write Used to set the amount the input signal
must increase above the LOS
Threshold level before the alarm is
cleared. This attribute, in conjunction
with the loss of input signal alarm
threshold, enables efficient clearing of
alarms. Set this attribute at a value that
is appropriate for the application so
that the alarm condition will clear
when input is stable. Consult with the
Cisco TAC to determine the correct
value for your application. As a
guideline, Cisco recommends setting
the value 1 dB above the LOS
Threshold value. With this setting, the
module will clear the alarm if it detects
a signal level of 1 dB above the current
LOS Threshold value. Valid entries are
between 0 and 1000 and are in dB
times 100. For example, if the
hysteresis required is 1 dB, the power
alarm hysteresis is 100.
