This section describes both procedures.Power and Gain TerminologyThe following table explains common terminology used in this section.Term Abbreviation DefinitionConstant PowerModeConstant GainModeConstant PowerFlat ModeInput Power perWavelengthPIN/In constant power mode, the total outputpower from the amplifier is set via the LCI orICIM. Once set, any change to the input signalwithin the specification window results in nochange to the output power.Note: In this mode, the composite gain, gainper wavelength, and output power perwavelength may not stay constant.In constant gain mode, the gain of the opticalamplifier is set via the LCI or ICIM. Once thegain is set, the amplifier automatically adjuststo any change to the composite input power orto an individual wavelength being dropped oradded. This adjustment results in acorresponding change to the composite outputpower.Note: In this mode, constant composite outputpower is not maintained, but constant gain perwavelength, constant composite gain, andconstant output power per wavelength aremaintained.Constant power flat mode is only availablewith variable gain-flattened EDFAs. In thismode, operation is similar to constant powermode except that the internal variable opticalattenuator (VOA) is engaged. As a result, theoutput of the EDFA maintains channel flatnessagainst changes in input power as long as thecomposite gain is within the specified gainrange for the model.Note: In constant power flat mode, gain andpower per wavelength are not maintained, butWDM channel flatness is maintained.Amount of power present at a particularwavelength at the input to the amplifier.8 78-4037880-01 Rev B

For single channel operation, the operatingwavelength range is from 1530 nm to 1565 nm. Constant power operation mode isusually desired for the application. Constant gain mode is available as an option.Constant Power Mode (Default)Constant power mode is the default operating mode for HD EDFAs.HD EDFAs also have an attenuation feature with a 3 dB attenuation range. Forexample, for the 17 dBm amplifier, an attenuation of 1 dB, 2 dB, or 3 dB can be set toachieve the output power of 16 dBm, 15 dBm, or 14 dBm, respectively. See thefollowing table.ModelP2-HD-EDFA-17-SA Default: 17 dBmP2-HD-EDFA-20-SA Default: 20 dBmP2-HD-EDFA-22-SA Default: 22 dBmConstant Gain Mode (Optional)Composite Output Power (POUT/C)Optional: 16 dBm, 15 dBm, 14 dBmOptional: 19 dBm, 18 dBm, 17 dBmOptional: 21 dBm, 20 dBm, 19 dBmHD EDFAs can optionally be operated in constant gain mode.

If the input is larger than 5 dBm, the output power cannot go beyond 17 dBm tomaintain the 12 dB gain. Instead, it will be operated at 17 dBm output. If the input goes below the specified range, the HD EDFA still tries to maintainthe set gain. If the composite input power goes too low, the monitoring accuracy willdegrade, resulting in poor output power stability.10 78-4037880-01 Rev B

High Density EDFA Power and Gain SetupHigh Density Gain-Flattened (HD-GF) EDFA SetupGain-Flattened EDFAs are optimized for multiple optical channel application toachieve uniform performance over the operation band digital video or data signals.The designed bandwidth is about 26 nm from 1536 nm to 1562 nm, which canaccommodate a maximum 32 optical channels (ITU20 - ITU51) at 100 GHz spacing.Constant gain operation mode is usually desired for the application because of thepossibility that optical channels can be added or dropped. Constant power mode isavailable as an option.Constant Gain Mode (Default)Four models of gain-flattened EDFAs are available to suit applications that requiredifferent output power and gain. Each of the gain-flattened EDFA models has adefault gain setting. The gain-flattened EDFAs can be operated at other gain valueswithin the default gain range of ± 2 dB. However, EDFAs operated at the defaultgain condition can achieve the most uniform performance for all optical channelsacross the band.The following information is required to select a gain-flattened EDFA for a multichannelsystem: Maximum number of optical channels for the designed system: N = Input power per channel: PIN/ = Required output power per channel: POUT/ = Required gain: G = POUT/ / PIN/ =With the above information, use the following table to select an appropriate EDFA.MaximumChannel NumberRequired OutputPer ChannelRequired GainEDFA Model32 2 dBm 5 dB - 9 dB P2-HD-EDFA-GF-17L-SA10 dB - 14 dB P2-HD-EDFA-GF-17H-SA5 dBm 8 dB - 12 dB P2-HD-EDFA-GF-20L-SA13 dB - 17 dB P2-HD-EDFA-GF-20H-SA24 3.2 dBm 5 dB - 9 dB P2-HD-EDFA-GF-17L-SA10 dB - 14 dB P2-HD-EDFA-GF-17H-SA6.2 dBm 8 dB - 12 dB P2-HD-EDFA-GF-20L-SA13 dB - 17 dB P2-HD-EDFA-GF-20H-SA16 5 dBm 5 dB - 9 dB P2-HD-EDFA-GF-17L-SA10 dB - 14 dB P2-HD-EDFA-GF-17H-SA78-4037880-01 Rev B 11

If the input is larger than 10 dBm, the output power cannot go beyond 17 dBm tomaintain the 7 dB gain. Instead, it will be operated at 17 dBm output. If the input goes below the specified range, the EDFA still tries to maintain theset gain. If the composite input power goes too low, the monitoring accuracy willdegrade, resulting in poor output power stability.The following tables list the input and output power ranges in a few of the mostcommon systems: 8 wavelength, 16 wavelength, 24 wavelength, and 32 wavelength.Systems with other wavelengths can also be calculated.8 Wavelength SystemAn 8 wavelength system is designed to have a maximum capacity of eight opticalchannels.

The variable gainfeature is achieved by using a mid-stage variable attenuator to balance the gainacross the entire operating bandwidth when the amplifier is set to a gain value in thespecified range. Constant Gain mode operation is required for this applicationbecause of the possibility of optical channels being added or dropped. ConstantPower mode and constant power flat mode are available as options.Constant Gain Mode (Default)Constant Gain mode is the default operating mode for variable gain-flattenedEDFAs.

Connecting Optical CablesConnecting Optical CablesFiber Fish ToolWARNING:Unterminated fiber cables and connectors may emit invisible laser radiation.Avoid direct exposure to the laser light source. Ensure that the fiber cable isterminated before "fishing."The Fiber Fish tool that was shipped with the Prisma II Chassis is used to pull anoptical cable from the rear of the chassis to the front of the chassis so the opticalcables can be connected to optical connectors on the front panel of the modules.Fiber Fish Tool HookAt the end of the Fiber Fish tool is a small hook that allows you to hold an opticalcable so that you can pull it through to the front panel of the chassis.To Pull the Optical Cable to the Module1 Insert the Fiber Fish tool through the slot located just above the bottom of thechassis.2 At the rear of the chassis, locate the appropriate optical cable.3 Insert the optical cable into the notched area of the Fiber Fish tool as shownbelow.4 At the front of the chassis, pull the Fiber Fish tool (with cable attached) to thefront of the chassis.78-4037880-01 Rev B 35

Chapter 2Module Installation5 Disengage the optical cable from the Fiber Fish tool and attach to the appropriateconnector on the desired module.CAUTION:Proper operation of this equipment requires clean optical fibers. Dirty fiberswill adversely affect performance. Proper cleaning is imperative.The proper procedure for cleaning optical connectors depends on the connectortype. The following describes general instructions for fiber optic cleaning. Use yourcompany's established procedures, if any, but also consider the following.Cleaning fiber optic connectors can help prevent interconnect problems and aidsystem performance. When optical connectors are disconnected or reconnected, thefiber surface can become dirty or scratched, reducing system performance.Inspect connectors prior to mating, clean as needed, and then remove all residue.Inspect connectors after cleaning to confirm that they are clean and undamaged.Recommended Equipment CLETOP or OPTIPOP ferrule cleaner (for specific connector type) Compressed air (also called “canned air”) Lint-free wipes moistened with optical-grade (99%) isopropyl alcohol Bulkhead swabs (for specific connector type) Optical connector scope with appropriate adaptorTips for Optimal Fiber Optic Connector Performance Do not connect or disconnect optical connectors with optical power present. Always use compressed air before cleaning the fiber optic connectors and whencleaning connector end caps. Always install or leave end caps on connectors when they are not in use. If you have any degraded signal problems, clean the fiber optic connector. Advance a clean portion of the ferrule cleaner reel for each cleaning. Turn off optical power before making or breaking optical connections to avoidmicroscopic damage to fiber mating surfaces.36 78-4037880-01 Rev B

Connecting Optical CablesTo Clean Optical ConnectorsWarning:• Avoid personal injury! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures otherthan those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.• Avoid personal injury! The laser light source on this equipment (if atransmitter) or the fiber cables connected to this equipment emit invisiblelaser radiation.• Avoid personal injury! Viewing the laser output (if a transmitter) or fibercable with optical instruments (such as eye loupes, magnifiers, ormicroscopes) may pose an eye hazard. Do not apply power to this equipment if the fiber is unmated or unterminated. Do not stare into an unmated fiber or at any mirror-like surface that could reflectlight emitted from an unterminated fiber. Use safety-approved optical fiber cable to maintain compliance with applicablelaser safety requirements.Important: Ensure that no optical power is present prior to this procedure.1 Turn optical power off to the connector.2 Using an optical connector scope, inspect the connector for scratches, burns, orother signs of damage.Note: If the connector is damaged, replace the jumper.3 If the connector requires cleaning, swipe it across the face of the appropriateferrule cleaner several times. This will remove dust and some films.Note: You may hear a slight "squeak" while cleaning the connector, indicatingthat it is clean.4 Inspect the connector again. If the connector requires further cleaning, clean itusing 99% isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free wipe.5 Swipe the connector across the face of the appropriate ferrule cleaner severalmore times to remove any film left by the alcohol.6 Repeat all the steps above as needed until the connector is clean.78-4037880-01 Rev B 37

Connecting the ICIM to Additional ChassisConnecting the ICIM to Additional ChassisChassis-to-Chassis ICIM ConnectionsThe Prisma II platform allows the ICIM to be located in one chassis and controlmodules located in several other chassis. This communication “daisy-chain” can beenabled by connecting cables to the ICIM IN and ICIM OUT connectors located onthe connector interface panel of the chassis. This connection is required if an ICIM inone chassis is to communicate with or control any module located in a separatechassis.Note: An ICIM can control a maximum of 140 modules. Depending on yourapplication, this is typically 6 or 7 chassis to a rack. Do not exceed these limits.ICIM IN and ICIM OUT ConnectorsEvery Prisma II standard and Prisma II XD chassis has a DB9 ICIM IN and a DB9ICIM OUT connector for the purpose of chassis-to-chassis ICIM connections. ICIMIN is a female connector and ICIM OUT is a male connector.Prisma II Standard ChassisPrisma II XD ChassisICIM IN and ICIM OUT CablesThe cable required for both ICIM IN and ICIM OUT connections is a shielded 9-wire serial extension cable, DB9 Female to DB9 Male. This cable can be purchasedlocally or from the factory. The chassis data sheet lists the part number for a 6-footDB9 Female to DB9 Male serial extension cable. The connectors are a serial 9-pin D-shell (EIA 574/232).78-4037880-01 Rev B 39

Chapter 2Module InstallationTo Connect Chassis-to-Chassis ICIM IN and ICIM OUT Ports1 Connect the serial extension cable from the ICIM OUT of the chassis containingthe ICIM to the ICIM IN connector of the second chassis.2 Connect a serial extension cable from the ICIM OUT of the second chassis to theICIM IN of the third chassis.3 Continue this daisy-chain connection until all chassis are connected.4 Connect an ICIM OUT terminator, part number 4013014, to the ICIM OUTconnector on the last chassis in the daisy-chain connection. The ICIM OUTterminator ships with the ICIM.Important: All chassis connected in the daisy-chain must be powered and have a fan trayinstalled. A chassis connected in the daisy-chain that is not powered or has nofan tray installed will cause faulty operation of the ICIM. All chassis connected in this daisy-chain must have a unique chassis ID number. If the ICIM OUT terminator that ships with the ICIM is not installed on the lastchassis of a daisy-chain connection, faulty communication with the ICIM mayoccur.40 78-4037880-01 Rev B

Configuring RedundancyConfiguring RedundancyYou can configure the receiver module for redundancy in one of two ways: Use the ICIM or LCI to configure each EDFA module for either Master or Slaveoperation, and define the desired Master-Slave relationships between EDFAmodules.This section explains the hardware configurations required to the configurationdescribed above. Procedures for using the ICIM or LCI to configure the module forredundancy are provided in Operation using ICIM (on page 43) and Operationusing LCI (on page 67).All Prisma II HD-EDFA modules ship from the factory configured as a standaloneEDFA. The user control Operating Mode default is Single. The ICIM, LCI software,or ROSA software can be used to reconfigure a module as a Slave or as Master andoperate in redundant mode.The only additional hardware requirement for redundancy is that every chassis inthe configuration must be connected to the same ICIM domain using an appropriateinterconnect cable (part number 180143 or equivalent) through the chassis ICIM INand ICIM OUT ports.Notes: Every chassis that does not have an ICIM installed but has an open ICIM IN orICIM OUT connector on the back panel must have an ICIM bus terminator, partnumber 4013014 or equivalent, installed in the open ICIM connector (oneterminator per chassis is sufficient). The ICIM itself is needed only to configure modules for redundant operation. Itis not required to support actual redundant operation. For redundant operation master and slave modules must be alarm free (Enabled,optical input applied). Redundant operation of master will be indicated by solid green led. LCI andICIM will also indicate master is active. Redundant operation of slave will beindicated by flash green led (On/Off 0.5 sec and 1.5 sec Off). LCI and ICIM willalso indicate slave is in Stdby.Example 1: Single Chassis ConfigurationThis example shows the control parameter values needed to define the Master-Slaverelationship between two EDFA modules installed in slots 1 and 12 of chassis 23.78-4037880-01 Rev B 41

ICIM IntroductionImportant: Do not operate any Prisma II Chassis without a fan tray installed properly. If afan tray is not installed in the Prisma II Chassis, the ICIM will not communicatewith any of the modules in that chassis. All chassis connected in a daisy-chain must be powered and have a fan trayinstalled. A chassis that is connected but is either not powered, or does not havea fan tray installed will cause faulty operation of the ICIM. All chassis connected in this daisy-chain must have a unique chassisidentification (ID) number. The last chassis in the daisy-chain must have a terminator installed in the ICIMOUT connector. Otherwise, faulty communication with the ICIM may occur.ICIM Block DiagramA block diagram representing the ICIM2 or ICIM2-XD is shown below.Prisma II Standard / XD ChassisICIMInDB-9Backplane /MidplaneConfiguration & Monitoring BusDB-9ICIMOutBusConnectionMicroprocessorHardwareInterfaceHardwareInterfaceRS-232CLIHardwareInterfaceRJ-45EthernetLCDKeypadICIM2 / ICIM2-XDModule(Absent from ICIM2-XD)TP51478-4037880-01 Rev B 45
