Caution
„ Make sure the flange on the optical fibre connector is clean and connected properly.
„ Test the attenuation of the fibre jumper in advance.
„ Select the fibre jumper with a connector matching the interface shape.

Follow the steps below to test the received optical power.

Step Action

1 Set the optical power meter to the desired wavelength.

2 Connect the fibre jumper on the IN optical interface at the local station to the
input port of the optical power meter, as shown in Figure 2-4.
3 When the received optical power keeps stable, read the value. The value is the
actual received optical power of the line board.
4 Check the optical power measured.
If the value is smaller than the sensitivity of the line board, go to step 5.
If the value is larger than the overloaded index of the line board, go to step 6.
For indexes of different optical interface boards, see OptiX OSN 9500
Intelligent Optical Switching System System Description.
Note:
The received optical power should have some surplus. It is recommended the
received optical power is 3 dB larger than the sensitivity index and 5 dB less than
overloaded index at least.

5 Check the fibre line. After resolving the fault, return to step 1 to test the received
optical power again.
Note:
If the received optical power is too small, check the cable length, the optical fibre
connector, and connection of the flange at the ODF side. If the fibre connector is
dirty, clean it. For too high attenuation, rebuild the line. If the optical cable is too
long, replace the board with a new one with higher launched optical power or add
more optical signal amplifier boards.

6 Add another attenuator at the ODF side. After resolving the fault, go back to
step 1 to test the received optical power again.
7 If the test value still cannot meet the requirement, check the fibre connection
and the boards at the remote station. If there is any fault, resolve the fault. Then
test again from step 1.
