Parameter Description Options
Port (Display only) Displays the port number. —
Power Failure
Low (dBm)
Shows the power failure low threshold.
This power value applies to the
corresponding port and is automatically
calculated when ANS is run.
This threshold applies to a port associated
to a VOA (OSC-VOA) always active in
Constant Power mode.
The threshold is automatically linked to
the Power Setpoint (VOA Power Ref +
VOA Power Calib) provisioned.
Changing the setpoint results in changing
the threshold (always 5 dB lower).
The 32DMX is an exception. 32DMX
Power Failure Low thresholds apply to
ports not associated to a VOA. The
threshold is calculated automatically
when you run ANS. You can manually
change the threshold. The value must be
within the optical power range that is
specified for the card. (See Appendix B,
“Hardware Specifications.”)
Numeric. Double-click the parameter,
enter a value, and press Enter.
