DLP-G91 Verify an AD-xC-xx.x Pass-Through Connection
Step 1 Verify the east AD-xC-xx.x channel TX power:
a. Display the east AD-xC-xx.x card in card view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Optical Chn > Parameters tabs.
c. Verify that the power value for the CHAN TX port is higher than the default no-power value of 
–35 dBm.
d. If the AD-xC-xx.x card is an AD-4C-xx.x card, a VOA (applied to all four channels) is installed 
along the drop path and needs to be activated in Step e.
e. Change the Admin State of the CHAN TX port related to the wavelength selected on the tunable 
laser to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI). Click Apply.
f. Verify that the power value of the CHAN TX port is higher than the default no-power value of 
–35 dBm.
Step 2 Verify the channel power for the corresponding west AD-xC-xx.x card:
a. Display the west AD-xC-xx.x card in card view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Optical Chn > Parameters tabs.
c. Verify that the power value of the CHAN TX port is higher than the default no-power value of 
–35 dBm.
d. Verify that the Power value of the CHAN RX port reaches the provisioned setpoint (VOA Power 
Ref).
e. Change the Admin State of the CHAN TX port related to the wavelength selected on the tunable 
laser to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI). Click Apply.
f. If the AD-xC-xx.x is an AD-4C-W card, a VOA (applying to all four channels) is installed along the 
drop path and needs to be activated in Step g.
g. Change the Admin State of the CHAN TX port related to the wavelength selected on the tunable 
laser to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI). Click Apply.
h. Verify that the power value of the CHAN TX port is higher than the default no-power value of 
–35 dBm.
Step 3 Verify the east AD-xC-xx.x channel RX power:
a. Display the east AD-xC-xx.x card in card view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Optical Chn > Parameters tabs.
c. Change the Admin State of the CHAN RX port to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance 
(ETSI) for the channel related to the wavelength selected on the tunable laser.
Purpose This task verifies an AD-xC-xx.x pass-through connection.
