Laser safety
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Optical fiber telecommunication systems, their associated test sets, and similar operating
systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit infrared (IR) light at wavelengths
between approximately 800 nanometers (nm) and 1600 nm. The emitted light is above the
red end of the visible spectrum, which is normally not visible to the human eye. Although
radiant energy at near-IR wavelengths is officially designated invisible, some people can
see the shorter wavelength energy even at power levels several orders of magnitude below
any that have been shown to cause injury to the eye.
Conventional lasers can produce an intense beam of monochromatic light.
Monochromatic light is a single wavelength output of pure color that may be visible or
invisible to the eye. A conventional laser produces a small-sized beam of light, and
because the beam size is small, the power density (also called irradiance) is very high.
Consequently, lasers and laser products are subject to federal and applicable state
regulations as well as international standards for their safe operation.
A conventional laser beam expands very little over distance, or is said to be very well
collimated. Thus, conventional laser irradiance remains relatively constant over distance.
However, lasers used in lightwave systems have a large beam divergence, typically 10 to
20 degrees. Here, irradiance obeys the inverse square law (doubling the distance reduces
the irradiance by a factor of four) and rapidly decreases over distance.
Lasers and eye damage
The optical energy emitted by laser and high-radiance LEDs in the 400 to 1400-nm range
may cause eye damage if absorbed by the retina. When a beam of light enters the eye, the
eye magnifies and focuses the energy on the retina magnifying the irradiance. The
irradiance of the energy that reaches the retina is approximately 105 (or 100,000 times
more than at the cornea) and, if sufficiently intense, may cause a retinal burn.
The damage mechanism at the wavelengths used in an optical fiber telecommunications is
thermal in origin; for example, damage caused by heating. Therefore, a specific amount
of energy is required for a definite time to heat an area of retinal tissue. Damage to the
retina occurs only when one looks at the light sufficiently long that the product of the
retinal irradiance and the viewing time exceeds the damage threshold. Optical energies
above 1400 nm cause corneal and skin burns, but these optical energies do not affect the
retina. The thresholds for injury at wavelengths greater than 1400 nm are significantly
higher than that for wavelengths in the retinal hazard region.
Classification of lasers
Manufacturers of lasers and laser products in the United States are regulated by the Food
and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (FDA/CDRH)
under 21 CFR 1040. These regulations require manufacturers to certify each laser or laser
product as belonging to one of four major classes: I, II, lla, IlIa, lllb, or IV.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-36, PSS-32 and PSS-16 are three closely related shelves
that compose the 1830 PSS-36/PSS-32/PSS-16 multi-service multi-reach solution. They
are scalable optical transport platforms that provide an evolution toward a single
converged platform for multi-service DWDM metro-area, long-haul, and Optical
Transport Network (OTN) switching, and leading edge flexibility with next generation
optical and OTN capabilities.
For core, central office applications, the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-36 Universal shelf
provides a 36-slot platform that supports up to 18 full-height universal or service slots and
up to 32 half-height universal or service slots, and the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-32
Central Office Shelf provides a 32-slot platform. The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-16 End
Office Shelf provides an economical 16-slot platform with a smaller footprint for end
office or smaller core office applications. In this document, these shelves are referred to
collectively as the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-36/PSS-32/PSS-16.
The 1830 PSS-36/PSS-32/PSS-16 multi-service multi-reach shelves are designed to
provide options that drive down the costs of metro, regional, and long-haul network
deployments while increasing network manageability and responsiveness. One of the
main benefits of this platform is its scalability and application support, from simple
CWDM networks, through aggregation of CWDM/DWDM ring/mesh networks, to
regional and long-haul DWDM networks.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-36, PSS-32 and PSS-16 support a control plane (on top of
the transport or data plane) in building the GMPLS/ASON networks with a set of
protocols (OSPF-TE, RSVP-TE, LMP) which are used to exchange information between
network elements (NEs, also called nodes) for establishing and releasing paths in an
automated, distributed fashion across a network. Each Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS network
element in the transport plane can be equipped with a controller called GMPLS Routing
Engine (GMRE). The GMRE nodes in a network are forming the control plane and are
running the GMPLS protocol suite. All the resources of the GMRE nodes are stored into a
topology database, which will be used for routing and link and alarm administration.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
GMPLS/ASON networks are based on the introduction of a control plane (on top of the
transport or data plane) with a set of protocols (OSPF-TE, RSVP-TE, LMP) which are
used to exchange information between network elements (NEs, also called nodes) for
establishing and releasing paths in an automated, distributed fashion across a network.
Each Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS network element in the transport plane can be equipped
with a controller called GMPLS Routing Engine (GMRE). The GMRE software is
packaged together with basic NE software and can be installed as a single entity on the
Equipment Controller (EC). No additional hardware is required for the implementation of
the GMRE. The GMRE nodes in a network are forming the control plane and are running
the GMPLS protocol suite. Then all the resources of the GMRE nodes are stored into a
topology database, which will be used for routing and link and alarm administration.
1830 PSS Release 3.6.1 supports the following functionalities:
The shelf types supported by GMRE in 1830 PSS Release 3.6.1 include PSS-36, PSS-32

The web user interface (WebUI) provides web-based access to the network element (NE).
The WebUI interface is accessed using Internet Explorer running on a computer that is
connected via Ethernet to the NE, either directly or over a LAN. The WebUI supports
provisioning, administration, performance monitoring, and display of alarms and
conditions from the NE. It provides an intuitive, easy-to-use tool to assist in the initial
installation and troubleshooting of NEs.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS WebUI interface provides a graphical user interface to the
node software using HTML, JavaScript, and Java. The application runs on the NE and is
controlled and viewed through a standard web browser that is provided by the PC. The
WebUI displays a physical view of the NE topology. This view includes the shelves, cards
and ports applicable to fiber connection management, as well as the existing fiber
connections between ports on the NE.
The WebUI does not run the full Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS features as does the 1354
RM-PhM. The CIT port only provides basic NE management (for local and remote
management via SNMP). IP Routing functions have to be configured so that all NEs
intended to be managed, are reachable from the local NE. In other words, IP applications
from any external DCN network will work only when there is full IP reach capability to
every GNE and RNE in the network.
The web user interface (WebUI) provides web-based access to the network element (NE).
You access the WebUI interface using Internet Explorer running on a computer that is
connected via Ethernet to the NE, either directly or over a LAN.

the active Equipment Controller.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
If this is the result of a user panel replacement, a database backup (previously saved for
this NE) must be restored to the NE from a remote database backup and restore server,
with the special keyword "force".
The steps are as follows:
1. Re-provision the user panel OADM port details for this NE.
2. Re-provision the static routing and gateway information for this NE.
3. Re-provision the database server information, refer to the 1830 PSS User
Provisioning Guide for the database backup and restore procedure.
4. Enter the CLI command config database restore force to bring the database
from a remote server to the NE.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
Review of the NE logs may provide an indication of the corruption of the database by
way of a failed audit function resulting in CRC errors. If the DBINVALID condition is
present due to a corruption of the database, then follow the appropriate procedure in the
1830 PSS User Provisioning Guide to restore the database to the Equipment Controller

1830 PSS Engineering and Planning Tool
Overview
The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS Engineering Tool (EPT) is used to design the networks
composed of 1830 PSS-36/PSS-32/PSS-16, 1830 PSS-4, and 1830 PSS-1 network
elements (NEs). It supports initial designs as well as incremental additions to existing
networks. Through its interface with the Network Management System, design
information produced by the EPT is downloaded to individual NEs to facilitate system
turn-up.
The EPT is a standalone Windows application with a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
capable of capturing network requirements and synthesizing network solutions. A built-in
design optimizer produces the lowest cost network requirements.
Given the complex nature of capturing network requirements, the EPT is capable of
operating in the following ways:

Phased design that enforces in-service upgrades from one phase to another
What-if scenarios to quantify how future traffic patterns operate in the design
The EPT examines thousands of network alternatives, taking into account various optical
parameters including fiber attenuation, end- of-life attenuation margin, connector losses,
chromatic dispersion, and polarization mode dispersion. It calculates transmission
characteristics including typical and worst-case optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR),
residual dispersion, and nonlinear phase shift. The EPT also takes into account optical
penalties due to PMD, PDL, filter penalty, cross talk penalty, and nonlinear transmission
penalty.
The EPT is able to model 1830 PSS-36/PSS-32/PSS-16, 1830 PSS-4, 1830 PSS-1, and
combinations of 1830 PSS-36/PSS-32/PSS-16, 1830 PSS-4, and 1830 PSS-1 networks.
Tunable OADM (TOADM), fixed OADM (FOADM), and CWDM configurations can be
modeled in the EPT according to the NE configuration capabilities. Maximum channel
counts and optional utilization of the Fiber Storage Tray and Flex shelf can be specified in
the EPT to accommodate cost/performance trade-offs as well.
The EPT produces a set of reports that can be used to order, install, and configure
Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS networks. These reports include Bill of Materials, Amplifier and
DCM Placement, Optical Transmission Characteristics, Card Placement (both tabular and
graphical Bay Layout), Fiber Characteristics, and general network assumptions. The EPT
also produces a design file for the Network Management System that works in
conjunction with WaveTracker to define alarm thresholds specific to each design for
preventive network maintenance.
The 1354 RM-PhM is a client-server system that is used to perform remote monitoring
and control of networks of Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS equipment.
The 1354 RM-PhM supports management of Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS network elements.
The 1354 RM-PhM server communicates with the network elements using the SNMP
protocol. A network element is characterized by having an SNMP agent. As a result, a
network element is a managed entity.
For comprehensive details and information on Photonic Manager, see the 1354 RM-PhM
EMS Reference Guide.
Commissioning and power balancing tool
The commissioning and power balancing (CPB) tool can be used in conjunction with
1354 RM-PhM or can also be installed and used as a stand-alone tool. The Provisioning,
Commissioning and Power Balancing menus and respective functionality of the CPB tool

integrated in 1354 RM-PhM and the standalone CPB are the same. However, the
stand-alone CPB tool requires the user to have access to another Network Management
System (e.g. OMS, INC, etc.) or utilize the NE built in user interfaces (CLI or WebUI) in
order to make the relevant adjustments required in support of Provisioning,
Commissioning, and Power Balancing the Network Element that would have otherwise
been performed by utilizing the 1354 RM-PhM.
