3.4.1 Power Monitoring
Physical photodiodes P1, P2, P3, and P5 monitor the power for the OSC-CSM card. Their function is as
follows:
• P1 and P2: The returned power value is calibrated to the LINE RX port, including the insertion loss
of the previous filter (the reading of this power dynamic range has been brought backward towards
the LINE RX output).
• P3: The returned value is calibrated to the COM RX port.
• P5: The returned value is calibrated to the LINE TX port, including the insertion loss of the
subsequent filter.
The returned power level values are calibrated to the ports as shown in Table 3-5.
