Chapter 4      Perform Node Acceptance Tests
DLP-G310 Verify ROADM Node Pass-Through Channels
Step 6 For each wavelength that you will test, click the table cell under Operating Mode and choose 
Pass Through from the drop-down list.
Step 7 Click Apply, then click Yes  to confirm.
Step 8 Display the east 32WSS card in card view.
Step 9 Repeat Steps 5 through 7 for the east 32WSS card.
Step 10 If you are using a tunable laser, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to complete the following steps. 
If you are using a TXP_MR_2.5G card, continue with Step 11.
a. Set the output power to a nominal value, such as –3 dBm. 
b. Set the tuner to the wavelength you will test, then continue with Step 12.
Step 11 If you are using a TXP_MR_2.5G card, complete the “DLP-G268 Provision TXP_MR_2.5G Cards for 
Acceptance Testing” task on page 4-4 for the TXP containing the wavelength you will test. Refer to 
Table 4-1, if needed.
Step 12 Connect the tunable laser transmitter or the TXP_MR_2.5G card DWDM TX port to the east OPT-BST 
or OSC-CSM LINE RX port. If an east OPT-PRE is installed, insert a 10-dB attenuator on the fiber 
coming from the TXP_MR_2.5G card.
Caution Failure to use proper attenuation might damage equipment.
Step 13 If an east OPT-PRE card is installed, complete the following steps. If not, continue with Step 14.
a. Display the east OPT-PRE in card view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Optical Line > Parameters tabs.
c. Locate the Power parameter for Port 1. Record the value.
d. Display the east OPT-BST or OSC-CSM card in card view.
e. Click the Provisioning > Optical Line > Parameters tabs.
f. Locate the Power value for Port 2 (if an OPT-BST) or Port 3 (if an OSC-CSM). Verify that the value 
matches the power recorded in Step c, +/– 1.5 dB. If not, use the “NTP-G115 Clean Fiber 
Connectors” procedure on page 13-25 to clean the fiber connection between the OPT-PRE card and 
the OPT-BST or OSC-CSM card.
g. Complete the “DLP-G80 Verify the OPT-PRE Amplifier Laser and Power” task on page 4-41.
Step 14 Verify the east 32WSS to OPT-BST, OPT-PRE, or OSC-CSM cable connection:
a. Display the east 32WSS in card view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Optical Line > Parameters tabs.
c. Locate the Port 68 Power parameter. Record the value.
d. If an east OPT-PRE is installed, display it in card view, and complete Step e. If not, continue with 
Step f. 
e. Click the Provisioning > Opt.Ampli.Line > Parameters tabs and read the Total Output Power 
value for Port 2, then continue with Step i.
f. If an east OPT-BST card is installed, display it in card view, and complete Step g. If not, continue 
with Step h.
g. Click the Provisioning > Opt.Ampli.Line > Parameters tabs and read the Power value for Port 3, 
then continue with Step i.
