Span Loss report generation

Span Loss report provide details of the values set for span parameters, the span loss values and whether the span loss value is valid or not for the amplifier topological links. User can generate the Span loss report in either tabular format or XLS format. Tabular format is applicable for generating report of selected amplifier TLs only. Ensure that span parameter values are set before generating the span loss report.

Report Generation in Tabular format

Perform the following steps to generate the span loss report of amplifier topological links in tabular format:

1. Go to Topology menu and click Topology View option. The Topology View window is displayed.
2. Click Network View (Nodes) tab and select the desired partition from the left hand pane.
3. Select the desired amplifier TLs to generate the span report details. In case of aggregate links between nodes, expand the link and then select individual amplifier TL.
4. Go to General Management/Reports tab and click (Span-Loss Report). Calculate SpanLoss window is displayed. In View Details, the Tabular View radio button will be selected by default and the other parameters in the window will be disabled.

   

5. Click OK. SpanLoss Report computation request sent... message is displayed.
6. Click OK. The report will be displayed in Span Report Details window as shown in the following figure. A help button is provided which the user can click to view the legends and descriptions used in the report:

   

Report Generation in XLS format

Perform the following steps to generate the span loss report of amplifier topological links in XLS format:

1. Go to Topology menu and click Topology View option. The Topology View window is displayed.
2. Click Network View (Nodes) tab and select the desired partition from the left hand pane.
3. Select the desired amplifier TLs for which the spanloss report has to be generated. In case of aggregate links between nodes, expand the link and then select individual amplifier TLs. Note that user need not select TLs if the report has to be generated for all amplifier TLs.
4. Go to General Management/Reports tab and Click (Span-Loss Report). Calculate SpanLoss window is displayed.
5. In View Details, select XLS radio button. Other parameters in the window will get enabled.
6. Enter the IP address, user name, password of a remote system (reachable to TJ5500) on which the report will be saved. Also specify path/location on the system and the filename for the report.

   NOTE: Create the folder (location) on remote system before generating the report in XLS format.

   

7. Select the Select All TL’s check box if the span loss report is desired to be generated for all Amplifier TLs under the TJ5500 root partition.
8. Click OK. SpanLoss Report computation request sent... message is displayed.
9. Click OK. The report generated in XLS format will be stored in the folder created by the user on the remote system.

NOTE: The report generation can also be scheduled so that user can view the span loss details of any instance. For more information, refer to the topic Create Scheduler Tasks.
