Troubleshooting Enterprise Type TDM Channel Modules
5TCE-PCTN-10GU+(AES)10G
This subsection addresses LED indications and troubleshooting guidelines for 5TCE-PCTN-10GU+10G and
5TCE-PCTN-10GU+AES10G modules, The modules are available in different variants that are described in the
Hardware Description.
It assumes that all measurements for the Cx/R, Cx/T and the network interface are within ADVA Optical
Networking specifications and that you have verified that the application wavelength is the same as the
wavelength for the FSP 3000R7 module’s client interfaces. If not, refer to “Finding Your Problem - Follow the
Light” on p.53 in this document.
CAUTION
Follow the instructions precisely. If you do not supply the specified attenuation on given steps,
you could destroy the module being tested. As soon as the near-end and the far-end 5TCE-
PCTN-10GU+(AES)10G modules in a link are synchronized, the network link is up and the
network interface LED will light up solid green.
Note
Before you start with troubleshooting, ensure that the current firmware package is installed on
the 5TCE-PCTN-10GU+(AES)10G module. For details on updating module firmware, refer to
“Updating the NE Software Release” on p.617 and “Performing Other Software Update Actions”
on p.628.
Note
Before you start with troubleshooting, ensure that the admin status on the affected module is
configured to “Maintenance”.
Note
The near-end and far-end modules must be provisioned to the same transmission mode to
guarantee proper operation.
Note
The 5TCE-PCTN-10GU+(AES)10G module supports configuring ‘disparity correction’. It is set
to “enabled” by default. For more information about this parameter, refer to the Management Data
Guide.
Note
If your module has an LED status that is not represented in Table 53 on p.322, please contact
your ADVA Optical Networking Technical Services Representative.
The steps in this subsection may need to be completed on both sides of the link. Please follow the
troubleshooting steps in Table 53 on p.322 based upon the states of the LEDs.
The 5TCE-PCTN-10GU+(AES)10G has eight LEDs on its faceplate:
• “P” to indicate the power supply status
• “Mod” to indicate the operation status of the module
• “C1”, “C2”, “C3”, “C4”, “C5” and “N” to indicate the interface status
This module has 5 client interfaces (C1 to C5). The LED status in Table 53 on p.322 refers to the transmit
connector and receive connector of one client interface (Cx/T and Cx/R) as an example for all client interfaces on
the module.
