corresponding port and is automatically
calculated when ANS is run.
This threshold applies to a port associated to
a VOA (OSC-VOA) always active in
Constant Power mode.
The threshold is automatically linked to the
Power Setpoint (VOA Power Ref + VOA
Power Calib) provisioned. Changing the
setpoint results in changing the threshold
(always 2 dB lower).

Power ADD
Failure Low
(dBm)
Shows the power add failure low threshold.
This power value applies to the
corresponding port and is automatically
calculated when ANS is run.
This threshold applies to the actual
measurement of the optical power on the
ADD RX port, that is, the power transmitted
by the Trunk-Tx laser of the TXP/MXP card
connected to the 32 WSS.
The measurement is performed by a
photodiode located before the selector and
the VOA to validate the incoming
wavelength power level. See the
“16.7.6 32WSS Card” section on
page 16-76
for more information.
