17.3.2 View and Provision ANS Parameters
Table 17-5 shows the following information for all ONS 15454 ANS parameters: 
• Min—Minimum value in decibels.
• Max—Maximum value in decibels.
• Def—Default value in decibels. Other defaults include MC (metro core), CG (control gain), 
U (unknown).
• Group—Group(s) to which the parameter belongs: ES (east side), WS (west side), Rx (receive), 
Tx (transmit), Amp (amplifier), P (power), DB (drop band), DC (drop channel), A (attenuation), 
Th (threshold).
• Network Type—Parameter network type: MC (metro core), MA (metro access), ND (not DWDM)
• Optical Type—Parameter optical type: TS (32 channel terminal), FC (flexible channel count 
terminal), O (OADM), H (hub), LS (line amplifier), R (ROADM), U (unknown)
