CHAPTER

Product Overview

The Cisco ONS 15501 is a low-noise, gain-flattened C-band optical EDFA (erbium-doped fiber amplifier). This guide describes how to install and operate the Cisco ONS 15501.

The Cisco ONS 15501 complements high-performance digital transmitters in topologies requiring amplification of 1550-nm optical signals.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Product Description, page 1-1

• Optical Specifications, page 1-2

• Key Features, page 1-2

• Cisco ONS 15501 Applications, page 1-5

• Cisco ONS 15501 Front Panel, page 1-7

Product Description

The Cisco ONS 15501 contains an erbium-doped optical fiber, optical couplers, and one or more pump lasers and isolators. An optical signal (within a range of 1530 to 1563 nm) arrives at the input connector. The 1550- nm signal travels through a length of erbium-doped fiber cable. Inside the amplifier, light from a laser at a wavelength of 980 nm (called the pump laser) is used to amplify the signal at 1550 nm. The amplified signal is coupled to the output cable for transmission to a node. In longer cable runs, up to six Cisco ONS 15501 EDFAs can be connected in tandem.

The Cisco ONS 15501 uses 980-nm pump lasers that are built to meet Bellcore TR-NWT-000468 and MIL-883D standards. With a noise figure approaching the theoretical minimum, the amplifier achieves results superior to that obtained from a 1480-nm pump laser. The 980-nm pump laser has a long lifetime, exceeding one million hours. Use of a small number of high-quality components makes the Cisco ONS 15501 a highly reliable product.

The Cisco ONS 15501 is polarization, modulation, and frequency independent, and operates in gain-controlled mode. It is optimized for different input and output powers, and can be used as a preamplifier, inline amplifier, or booster. The unit provides excellent gain flatness for the cascading of amplifiers in DWDM applications.

The Cisco ONS 15501 is physically designed to fit into a 19-inch, 23-inch, or ETSI equipment rack, with front, middle, or rear mounting capability. It is equipped with connectors for optional monitoring either locally or remotely.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Constant Gain Flatness

The Cisco ONS 15501 is a constant gain amplifier. It does not deliver a constant output, but rather ensures that the output energy spectrum is gain-flattened irrespective of input power (up to the maximum allowed). If a channel is removed, the output level will drop at the wavelength that is removed, but the remaining energy spectrum will remain nearly flat over its wavelength band. The gain flatness is also only minimally affected if the input signal is not flat by several decibels.

Optimized Automatic Gain Control

The Cisco ONS 15501 has a wide input power range of 0 to -29 dBm, over which it maintains gain flatness as well as a low noise figure across the entire C band. The Cisco ONS 15501 maintains a high level of precision, as well as speed, which allows it to be used as a booster, inline or preamplifier, thus reducing sparing expenses. The constant gain and noise figure capabilities of the Cisco ONS 15501 make network designs simpler and more predictable.

The lower gain available in the Cisco ONS 15501, combined with its ability to handle input signal powers of up to 0 dBm, also enables the network designer to achieve much higher OSNR (optical signal-to-noise ratio) after cascading several EDFAs. In addition, it allows the network to expand beyond 32 wavelengths to a maximum of 128 wavelengths if necessary. The OSNR improvements of 6 dB is equivalent to a four-fold increase in the number of EDFAs that can be cascaded. Alternatively, the unit can accommodate signals with four times the data rate (for instance, OC-192 as opposed to OC-48). Thus, the limitations of higher gain EDFAs that have input powers limited to -6 dBm can be easily overcome by using the Cisco ONS 15501. Some representative figures are included in Tabl e 1-2, assuming a flat input to the first Cisco ONS 15501.

2. -6 dBm total; -21 dBm per channel.

When the gain of an EDFA is fixed, the assumption is that all networks can be laid out with equally spaced EDFAs. In reality, this is rarely the case. For designs in which the spacing must be flexible, variable gain allows the network designer to tailor network requirements much more accurately. For instance, when an Cisco ONS 15501 is used as a preamplifier for receivers having an overload point of

-8 dBm per wavelength, the output VOA (variable optical attenuator) can prevent overload by reducing

the signal going to the receiver. Alternately, when EDFA spacing is only 10 dB, the output VOA can be enabled to avoid saturation of the next stage EDFA, ensuring that the entire network has good gain flatness and virtually consistent OSNR across all wavelengths.

The variable gain capabilites of the Cisco ONS 15501 greatly enhance the flexibility of an optical network. System operators can add or drop optical elements, such as OADM (optical add/drop multiplexer), without drastic network redesigns or costly equipment changes. When a change occurs in span loss, the adjustable gain can be used to reset the network to a better operating point.

Transient Suppression

Transients in the performance of EDFAs are inevitable whenever the number of signals or the relative power of signals change. For example, when channel rerouting or system failure (caused by a fiber cut or equipment malfunction) transfers all incoming power to a single “surviving channel,” that channel will momentarily experience a higher gain, which can cause BER (bit error rate) problems due to eye-pattern closure. The amount of time required by an amplifier to recover from such a change indicates its suitability for add/drop applications.

The most important parameters in transient suppression are the recovery time and the overshoot and undershoot amplitude. The recovery time for the signal amplitude to get within 10% of the “steady state” amplitude after the switching event is referred to as the transient suppression time. Smaller values are desirable. From a 10 dB change in power (simulating the adding or dropping of 29 out of 32 channels present), the Cisco ONS 15501 never exceeds 100 microseconds and is typically below 50 microseconds. The Cisco ONS 15501 can respond to the most drastic power changes with overshoots or undershoots of less than 1 dB.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Low Noise Figure

The low noise characteristics of the Cisco ONS 15501 allow over six amplifiers to be cascaded and still achieve an excellent OSNR at input powers as low as –21 dBm per channel. This enables seamless migration to higher speeds beyond OC-48 and to a larger number of channels.

High Maximum Output Power

The high maximum optical power of the Cisco ONS 15501 increases the number of wavelengths that can potentially be routed to it. The higher input power range available can be used to increase the number of wavelengths to 128 from 32, without having any spectral gain tilt effects.

Network Management

The Cisco ONS 15501 supports SNMP, and it has a console port to facilitate setup and monitoring. With a customer-supplied network monitor and the provided MIB file, all monitorable and settable parameters are available remotely.

Cisco ONS 15501 Applications

The Cisco ONS 15501 supports the following applications:

• Point-to-point topologies

• Ring topologies

• Adding or dropping wavelengths

• Adjusting to span loss changes

Point-to-Point Topologies

In a metropolitan point-to-point DWDM network, the Cisco ONS 15501 can function as a pre-, post-, and/or inline amplifier. Most metropolitan point-to-point DWDM networks require post-amplifiers, but if a given span length exceeds the unit gain (>17 dB), a preamplifier may also be required to handle the optical link loss budget. When the span length greatly exceeds 17 dB, an inline amplifier might also be required.

Because of the wide input power range (-29 to 0 dBm) of the Cisco ONS 15501, trunk attenuation is typically also necessary, especially when the unit is used as a post-amplifier. For instance, when the per channel output power from the node is -5 dBm in a 32-channel system, the total output power from the node is +10 dBm. Thus, at least 10 dB of trunk attenuation is required directly preceding the amplifier.

Cisco ONS 15501 Applications

The Cisco ONS 15501 can also be tuned to meet post- or inline amplification input power requirements. Assuming that the typical per channel power levels in a point-to-point network are identical at the source

node, and that there are fewer than four amplifiers between source and destination nodes, it is not necessary to maintain per channel power equalization to satisfy each amplifier’s total input power requirement and maintain acceptable OSNR for each channel.

Ring Topologies

An amplified ring topology requires more fine-tuning of power for each channel or band. Figure 1-1 illustrates a hubbed ring network utilizing counter-clockwise signal transmission. All bands (A, B, C and D) are transmitted from node 1. Node 2 terminates and transmits bands A and B; node 3 terminates and transmits band C; and node 4 terminates and transmits band D.

Figure 1-1 Power Equalization in an Amplified Ring Network

Chapter 1 Product Overview

1-6

In general, EDFAs in a ring topology should be placed so they maintain the power level at the receiver, as well as the OSNR, of each channel. In this case, EDFAs serving as postamplifiers are located at nodes 2and4.

At node 2, the input power level of the EDFA is much higher than the input power level of the pass-through band (bands C and D), due to the added power from bands A and B. If trunk attenuation is employed directly before the EDFA at node 2 to keep the unit’s total input power within the required range, the power levels of both the add band (bands A and B) and the pass-through band (bands C and D) are attenuated equally. As a result, the power level of the pass-through band is much lower than that of the add band. This significantly degrades the OSNR of the pass-through band, and in cases where there are more than two EDFAs in the ring, some of the channels in the ring will not meet OSNR requirements.

To solve this problem, optical power attenuation should be applied on a per channel or per band basis. More attenuation is typically required for the add band than for the pass-through band. At the EDFA input, the individual channel or band power levels should be equalized as close as possible to the maximum per channel input power level, (for example, -15 dBm in a 32-channel system). This process of optical power equalization is necessary to obtain better OSNR.

Cisco ONS 15501 User Guide

78-14134-01, Release 1.0

Page 19

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Inserting attenuation devices such as VOAs (variable optical attenuators) between the OADM (optical add/drop multiplexer) and the transmitter allows optical power management of individual channels. Per band power management at the trunk line, between the OADM and the EDFA, is also an effective method. The Cisco ONS 15501 is capable of supporting either approach, and its wide input range (-29 to 0 dBm) makes it an ideal amplifier for a broad array of ring network designs.

Adding or Dropping Wavelengths

Automatic gain control reacts to the adding or dropping of wavelengths in a network, without requiring power equalization tuning. The fast response of the Cisco ONS 15501 reduces the impact of adding or dropping channels, and prevents BER hits.

Adjusting to Span Loss Changes

It is typically necessary to adjust gain and attenuation values both for trunk attenuation and channel or band power equalization.

Troubleshooting

This chapter discusses basic fault investigation and diagnostic (troubleshooting) procedures for the Cisco ONS 15501.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Basic Diagnostic Procedures, page 5-1

• Isolating the Problem, page 5-2

• Password Recovery, page 5-3

• Technical Support, page 5-3

Basic Diagnostic Procedures

When a problem occurs over the network, use the following three basic diagnostic procedures to determine if the Cisco ONS 15501 is the source of the problem:

CHAPTER

• Verify the power connection.

• Verify the Ethernet connection.

• Verify the alarm connection.

To verify the power connection, follow these steps:

Step 1 Make sure that power is securely connected to the unit and that external DC power is being applied. Step 2 Check for LED lamp activity on the front panel. Disregard the color or number of LEDs illuminated at

this time. Verify only that one or more is on, indicating that the chassis is receiving power.

Step 3 Check the following areas for possible problems if no LEDs are on:

• Verify that the power connection to the chassis is firmly made.

• Verify that the circuit power switch(es) are in the on position.

• Verify that the external source DC power circuit breaker(s) are on.

• Verify that the external power wires are delivering power correctly.

Isolating the Problem

Step 1 Make sure that the RJ-45 connector is in good working condition; then plug it into the LAN port. Step 2 Check for LED activity on the LAN port. The left LED is green when an Ethernet connection is

Step 3 Check the following areas for possible problems if no LEDs are on:

To verify the Ethernet connection, follow these steps:

established. The right LED flickers yellow when a signal is being transmitted to the Ethernet.

• Verify that the RJ-45 connection to the chassis is firmly made.

• Verify that the RJ-45 connector is in good working condition.

• Verify that the external Ethernet source is on and delivering a signal.

To verify the alarm connection, connect an ohmmeter to the Alarm Out port, through an RJ-45 connector. If the ohmmeter shows a reading of any kind, a connection is present. A very high resistance reading

indicates that there are no alarm conditions; a low resistance reading indicates that alarm conditions do exist. See Appendix B, “Connector Pinouts.”

Isolating the Problem

The key to troubleshooting the Cisco ONS 15501 is to isolate the problem to a specific component. When troubleshooting, consider the following components of the Cisco ONS 15501:

• Power supply — Includes the power input wiring and associated switches and fuses.

• Cooling system — Includes the fan, which should go on when power is supplied. The air intake vents

and exhaust vents must have adequate ventilation.

• Front panel indicators — Includes the LEDs on the front panel, which help to identify a failure.

• Connecting cables — Includes all of the interface cables that connect the equipment to any

transmission circuit or external device.

Reading the Front Panel LEDs

The front panel LEDs provide the activity or alarm status of the interfaces or internal circuitry to which they correspond. If an LED is connected to an active circuit and registers an alarm condition or is not on, a problem may exist. Table 5 -1 lists the front panel LEDs and what the conditions indicate.

Table 5-1 shows the Cisco ONS 15501 front panel.

Table 5-1 Cisco ONS 15501 Front Panel LEDs

LED Status Description

Power Green Power is on. Fail Red Component failure. LOS Yellow Signal is detected.

If all LEDs on the front panel are off:

78-14134-01, Release 1.0

Page 95

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

If the Power LED blinks green, one of the two power supplies has failed or is not installed. If the Power LED is green but the unit has failed and no other LEDs are on, then the internal power

regulating circuit may have failed. Contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) immediately for assistance.

If the Fail LED is red, then a major trouble condition exists in the Cisco ONS 15501 hardware. Contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) immediately for assistance.

Password Recovery

• Check that primary and user-optional external power is available and that the DC power wiring is

properly and firmly connected to the appropriate screw terminals.

• Check that the external DC supply power switch is turned to the on position.

Warning

Infra-red laser energy may be present on the cable connected to the receiving (Input) connector, at the transmitting (Output) optical fiber connector, or the monitoring (Optical Monitor) connector. To avoid potential damage to the eyes, do not look directly into this connector or cable. When an optical cable is not attached, place the supplied protective cap over the connector and the optical fiber cable.

If the LOS (loss of signal) LED is yellow, then the input optical signal has disappeared or has fallen below the detection level.

• Check to see that the input optical cable is securely seated in its connector.

• Connect an optical power meter on an optical spectrum analyzer to the Output Monitor optical

connector and check for proper level of the outgoing signal.

• Check with the distant transmitting end to determine if the signal is leaving that site at the proper

level.

Password Recovery

If you have forgotten your passwords, use the restore command to reset the passwords to the defaults. The restore command can only be entered from a session on the serial port, not from a Telnet session.

The default user password is edfa and the default master password is edfa1. For security reasons, you should change both passwords as soon as possible. Log in with master privileges and use the

set-user-pwd and set-master-pwdcommands to change the passwords.

Technical Support

If the problem exists after you review the Cisco ONS 15501 status and attempt to reprovision the amplifier, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). (See the Preface for contact information.)
