Live monitoring of optical power, Lambda power, and Performance

This section details the procedures to collect or view the current status of following on a port in the form of tabular/graphical format:

• Optical power
• Performance
• Lambda power

Do the following steps to collect live optical power values of a form factor pluggables on a node, PM values on a port of a managed node, and Lambda Power values on a port of a managed node, and project the same in tabular/graphical format.

NOTE: Live optical power monitoring is not supported for multilane CFP.

Only a common user of EMS and NMS can view Live monitoring of optical power, Lambda power, and performance.

1. Go to Topology menu and click Topology View. The Topology View window is displayed.
2. Under Network View (Nodes) tab select the desired node.
3. Go to View menu tab, click Live Monitoring and select one of the following as desired:

• Select Optical Power. The Live Optical Power Monitoring window is displayed.
  1. Select the desired options for Monitoring Port, Plot Frequency, and Plot Window from the drop down.
  2. Click Plot button. The values are shown in table as well as the graph is plotted for the desired plot window time at regular plot frequency selection.

     Once you click on Plot button it will be replaced with Stop button to stop plotting the graph.

     

• Select Performance. The Live Performance Monitoring window is displayed.
  1. Select the desired options for Port Group, Plot Frequency, and Monitoring Port from the drop down.
  2. Click on Graph Configuration. The Configuration| Live Performance Monitoring window is displayed.
  3. Select the Plot Window time and the counters to view the performance. Click Done.
  4. Click Plot button in Live Performance Monitoring window. The values are shown in table as well as the graph is plotted for the desired plot window time at regular plot frequency selection.

     Once you click on Plot button it will be replaced with Stop button to stop plotting the graph.

     

• Select Lambda Power. The Lambda Power Monitoring window is displayed.
  1. Select the desired options for Monitoring Port, Plot Frequency, and Plot Window from the drop down.
  2. Click on Graph Configuration. The Configuration| Live Lambda Power Monitoring window is displayed.
  3. Select the channel to view the lambda power. Click Done.
  4. Click Plot button in Live Performance Monitoring window. The values are shown in table as well as the graph is plotted for the desired plot window time at regular plot frequency selection.

     Once you click on Plot button it will be replaced with Stop button to stop plotting the graph.
