14.6.2.4 Power Monitoring

Physical photodiodes P1 through P32 and P33 monitor the power for the 32DMX-O card. The returned
power level values are calibrated to the ports as shown in

14.6.2.5 32DMX-O Card-Level Indicators

The 32DMX-O card has three card-level LED indicators, described in

14.6.2.6 32DMX-O Port-Level Indicators

You can find the status of the card ports using the LCD screen on the ONS 15454 fan-tray assembly. Use
the LCD to view the status of any port or card slot; the screen displays the number and severity of alarms
for a given port or slot. The 32DMX-O card has five sets of ports located on the faceplate. MON is the
output monitor port. COM RX is the line input. The xx.x-yy.y Tx ports represent the four groups of eight
channels ranging from xx.x wavelength to yy.y wavelength according to the channel plan.
14.6.3 32DMX Card
The 32-Channel Demultiplexer card (32DMX) is a single-slot optical demultiplexer. The card receives
an aggregate optical signal on its COM RX port and demultiplexes it into to 32 100-GHz-spaced
channels. The 32DMX card can be installed in Slots 1 to 6 and in Slots 12 to 17.
The 32DMX card is designed specifically for use in ONS 15454 DWDM nodes. The 32DMX card works
in conjunction with the 32WSS card to create a software-controlled network element with ROADM
functionality. ROADM functionality requires two 32DMX single-slot cards and two 32WSS double-slot
cards (six slots in the ONS 15454 chassis).
Equipped with ROADM functionality, ONS 15454 MSTP nodes can be configured at the optical channel
level using CTC, Cisco MetroPlanner, and Cisco Transport Manager (CTM). Both the 32DMX card and
32WSS card utilize planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology to perform wavelength-level processing.

Description
The red FAIL LED indicates that the card's processor is not ready or that
there is an internal hardware failure. Replace the card if the red FAIL LED
persists.
The green ACT LED indicates that the 32DMX-O is carrying traffic or is
traffic-ready.
The amber SF LED indicates a signal failure on one or more of the card's
ports. The amber SF LED also illuminates when the transmit and receive
fibers are incorrectly connected. When the fibers are properly connected, the
light turns off.
