1.4.2 L-AMP Interfaces
Ethernet Interfaces
The two Ethernet interfaces provide autosensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connectivity. The Ethernet
ports are labeled MGMT and CRAFT:
• MGMT: The shelf management port is used to access the Data Communication Network (DCN)
that is available over the DWDM interfaces. The port is typically connected to an Ethernet switch
used for management networking.
• CRAFT: You can connect a laptop PC to the shelf craft port for a direct connection to commission
and recommission the L-AMP module.
Optical Interfaces and Access
• 4 optical fiber interfaces
• Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) – 100Base-FX Ethernet at 1510nm
• Physical: Front access
Optical Specifications
• Channels/Frequency
40 C-band optical channels on 100 GHz ITU (1530.33 to 1561.42nm)
1510nm Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) 100Base-FX Ethernet
• Minimum BER: 1x10-12
• DWDM Power Output
40 Channels
13.0 dBm (-3 dBm per channel)
• Laser Safety Class:1
• Laser Shutdown\Restart: automatic, ITU-T G.664
• Channel Frequency Tolerance: .00052%
• Dispersion Compensation: External
• Maximum span of 32 dB, supports up to 25 dB of gain
• Transmit Power up to 20 dBm
• Mid-stage loss support for 0 – 8.5 dB
• Monitor ports — about 20 dB lower than the respective TX and RX Line port
Note: The L-AMP supports manual gain tilt control. Gain tilt can occur when channel gain is not
flat upon reaching the optical amplifier. In this situation, higher signals receive more power,
while lower signals receive less power.
