DLP-G86 Verify Express Channel Connections on an OADM Node with 
OSC-CSM Cards
Step 1 If you are using a tunable laser, set the output power to a nominal value, such as –3 dBm. If not, continue 
with Step 2.
Step 2 Connect the tunable laser transmitter or the TXP_MR_2.5G card DWDM TX port to the LINE RX port 
of the east OSC-CSM card.
Step 3 If an OPT-PRE amplifier card is installed on the east side, install a 10-dB bulk attenuator on the 
COM RX port.
Step 4 Based on the Cisco MetroPlanner site configuration file, tune the tunable laser or TXP_MR_2.5G card 
to a wavelength (on the 100-GHz ITU-T grid) that runs on the express path of all AD-xB-xx.x and 
AD-xC-xx.x cards on the east-to-west and west-to-east directions. Refer to the tunable laser 
manufacturer’s documentation or the “DLP-G268 Provision TXP_MR_2.5G Cards for Acceptance 
Testing” task on page 4-4.
Step 5 Complete the “DLP-G80 Verify the OPT-PRE Amplifier Laser and Power” task on page 4-41 for the 
OPT-PRE amplifier card installed on the west side.
Step 6 If AD-xB-xx.x cards are installed on the east side, complete the “DLP-G87 Verify the AD-xB-xx.x 
Output Express Power” task on page 4-47 for each east side card. If not, continue with Step 7.
Note If Ad-xB-xx.xand AD-xC cards are both installed in one direction, the received express channels 
will run into the AD-xB-xx.x cards first, then into the AD-xC-xx.x cards.
Step 7 If AD-xC-xx.x cards are installed on the east side, complete the “DLP-G88 Verify the AD-xC-xx.x 
Output Express Power” task on page 4-47 for each east side card. If not, continue with Step 8.
Step 8 If AD-xC-xx.x cards are installed on the west side, complete the “DLP-G271 Verify the AD-xC-xx.x 
Output Common Power” task on page 4-48 for each west side card. If not, continue with Step 9.
Step 9 If AD-xB-xx.x cards are installed on the west side, complete the “DLP-G272 Verify the AD-xB-xx.x 
Output Common Power” task on page 4-48 for each west side card. If not, continue with Step 10.
Step 10 Complete the “DLP-G83 Verify the OSC-CSM Power on OADM Nodes” task on page 4-43 for the 
OSC-CSM card installed on the west side.
Step 11 Complete the “DLP-G80 Verify the OPT-PRE Amplifier Laser and Power” task on page 4-41 for the 
OPT-PRE card installed on the east side.
Step 12 Repeat Steps 6 through 9 for the AD-xB-xx.x and AD-xC-xx.x cards along the west-to-east direction.
Purpose This task verifies the express channel connections during an OADM node 
acceptance test.
Tools/Equipment A tunable laser or eight TXP_MR_2.5G cards covering the 32 C-band 
wavelengths (see Table 4-1 on page 4-4)
