the principle is the same.
Adjust the optical power of each wavelength to fall inside the range (-2 dB to 2 dB) of
average one-channel optical power. Under special conditions (RAMAN/ROP/ULH has
worse OSNR), the index requirement also apply.
If the optical power flatness meet the index requirement, the optical power flatness can
be sacrificed to guarantee the flatness of OSNR (or BER).
Method of adjusting one-channel optical power flatness
“adjust the transmit end based on the receive end”―monitor the receive end and adjust
the transmit end to ensure optical power flatness at the receive end.
The purpose of adjusting the optical power flatness of each wavelength is to ensure that
the OSNR of the receive end is flat and meets the design requirement. If the designed
OSNR is not met, the OSNR and flatness need to be further adjusted.
Before an optical amplifier unit is adjusted, ensure that the attenuator of each
wavelength has enough tunable range. Set the initial value according to tunable range.
Notes
1. Currently, you can adjust the optical power flatness of each wavelength only when
each wavelength has a tunable attenuator. If not in the case, you can only check, but
cannot adjust the flatness of transmitted optical power.
2. After you adjust the one-channel average optical power of an optical amplifier unit,
consider to adjust the optical power flatness of each wavelength at the receive end.

for 10G OTU and 2.5G OTU boards. But, the dispersion tolerance that you
configure for 10G OTU boards is smaller than that you configure for 2.5G
OTU boards. Hence, you need to add DCM for dispersion compensation.
The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards that

for the OTU board at the 100 GHz spacing. The 50G CRZ signal cannot be

As for WDM side in 1600G OTM, the configuration rules of the optical attenuators
are as follows:
An Optical Amplifier Unit is required for pass-through wavelengths added
currently or in the future. Fixed attenuators are not needed between OA and
D40, while they are required on receiving port of OTU at WDM side: 15 dB is
added for APD and 7 dB is for PIN..
As for WDM side in 6100 OTM, a tunable attenuator is needed on each pass-
through wavelength as well as on added wavelength.

Commission requirements
To meet the requirement of processing the supervisory information, you need to set
the local clock of the SCC on an NE as the clock source of the entire network. The
communication between the OSC/OTC and the SCC of other NEs must be synchronous
with the clock.
The received optical power should not be close to the over loading point. The OSC
processing board inside the site should be connected with 15dBm attenuation.

Commission requirement
These boards do not have special requirements for the received optical power. But in
case of any problems, other boards such as optical amplifier board, are affected.
Check each channel to find the incorrectly connected fiber jumpers, and check
whether the lines on the optical channels and whether the insertion loss and
attenuations of the optical components are normal.

Commission method
The fiber connection from FIU-OUT to ODF, and the one from
downstream ODF to FIU-IN are connected by installers who are
responsible for the quality of the connection.
The optical power from FIU-RC through FIU-TC should be
smaller than the planned attenuation. If the value exceeds the
planned attenuation, you need to use the optical power tester
to test the following section by section: FIU insertion loss, fiber-
routing attenuation, connected ring flange attenuation, and
cable attenuation.
For a fiber/cable problem, request the customer to change the
fiber core or rectify it.

Defec The Offset may not be precise. To calculate the Offset, you need the OSNR value,
t and need to shut down the add-wavelength laser and the pass-through wavelength
at the local station.

OADM Commission
Step Actions of OADM Optical Power Commissioning - (Improved General Optical
Power Commissioning)
1 Adjust the VOA of the receive OAU and OADM so that for the OADM, the optical power of the drop
wavelength that has the smallest insertion loss is -6dBm. (Metro 6100 does not have the attenuator,
and needs not to be adjusted.)
2 Test the optical power of the drop wavelength from LWF-IN. The largest optical power is -6dBm and
others are about -6.5dBm, -8dBm, and -8,5dBm. If the wavelength dropped from the OUT is received
by APD, you need to add 10dBm attenuation. (For the Metro 6100, you need to add the fixed
attenuation. Add a 10dBm attenuator for LWF. The input optical power of LWF is about -8dBm.)
3 Shut down the local laser used for wavelength drop from the upstream station, and test the OAU
output optical power, which is 10.7dBm. Disconnect the add-wavelength fiber or shut down the add-
wavelength LWF laser. Adjust the VOA between the east and west OADMs so that the optical power of
the pass-through wavelength at the transmit OBU-IN is -12.3dBm, which is calculated as follows: -
10.7 - (4 - (-19)) = -12.3dBm.
4 Disconnect the fiber between the east and west MR2s. Each time only enable the WDM-side laser of
the LWF of one wavelength. Adjust the VOA between the add-wavelength LWF-OUT and the MR2 so
that the optical power of OBU-IN is -19dBm
Merit To calculate the Offset, you neither need the OSNR nor the spectrum analyzer.
Defe You need to shut down laser used to drop the wavelength from the upstream, and shut down the
ct add-wavelength laser and the pass-through wavelength at the local station.

ROAM board of OSN 6800 DWC board of 1600G
Inside a ROAM board is actually a PLC ROADM plus a coupler that is used to implement the
optical power division. One channel is dropped at the local site, and the other channel is
transmitted to the opposite ROAM. The PLC ROADM in the ROAM controls the pass-through
optical signals.
The PLC ROADM in the ROAM board has the power detection function. So the optical power
detection and MON port are not configured. The embedded optical power detection function
detects the optical power of each channel at the in port and the out port.
The VOA in the PLC ROADM component equalizes the optical power.

Normally, you only need to cascade MI and MO to add
MON
or drop the local wavelength through the Add port.
MO If the optical power budget for some adding signals is
tight, you can cascade an amplifier between MI and
MON
MO. For example, if the optical power becomes low
after a 10G signal experiences the duel fed and
selective receiving at the OLP, the optical power may
be too low for an add wavelength. In this case, you
RMU need to cascade an amplifier to solve the problem.
Add
When the RMU is used for inter-ring interconnection, only the Add to MO section is involved.
Hence, if the WSS+RMU is used in inter-ring interconnection, the default pass-through port is
no longer the IN port, but one of the Add ports.
RMU also supports cascading multiple levels and adding/dropping more wavelengths. But this
way of configuration is not recommended because in this scenario, the optical power budget is
very tight.
The optical detection function and MON port are configured at the IN and MO ports of the RMU.
They are used to supervise the optical signals and detect the in signals and out signals by
using the external meters or the MCA functional unit.
The RMU is used to play the part of the multiplexing function of WSS.
Since the Add port is insensitive to the wavelengths, RMU enables any
wavelengths to be added from any port. RMU includes a 1*2 combiner
and a 1*8 combiner. When it is used as an intra-ring ROADM, the MI
and MO can be directly connected, and an amplifier can be cascaded.
The 1*8 combiner is used to combine the adding signals, and the 1*2
combiner is used to combine the local signals with the pass-through
signals. When it is used as an inter-ring ROADM, the MI and OUT ports
are not involved in the channel combination. Only the 1*8 combiner is
used to combine the signals from different directions.

3 WSD9 and WSM9 automatically adjust the optical power of the wavelengths dropped
from the west OTU, directly added to the east OTU and passing through from the
east. In this way the average input optical power at the IN port of the east transmit
end of OBU1 and the receive optical power of the drop-wavelength OTU meet the
requirement.
4 The east OTU adds wavelengths through OADM or M40. You need to adjust the VOA
of the OTU and M40 as follows. Test the output optical power of M40. Set the VOA to
the lowest and find out the wavelength that has the lowest optical power. Adjust the
VOA for all other wavelengths so that the single-wavelength optical power of each
wavelength equals to the lowest optical power.
