Cisco GS7000 Installation And Configuration Manual page 35

Note: During the module check, the LCM micro-controller samples the inputs from
the optical transmitters (up to 4), optical receivers (up to 4), power supplies (up to 2),
and AC lines (up to 2), to determine which of these items are installed in the node.
The LCM also attempts to contact optical switches and EDFAs that may be present
in the hub/node. If such modules respond to the LCM commands, the LCM
determines that an optical switch or an EDFA is installed in a specific slot.
Configuring the LCM Using the PC-based ViewPort Software
The LCM can also be configured using the PC-based ViewPort software. ViewPort
provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface with the LCM via a USB port on the
LCI of the module. ViewPort provides for direct manual configuration and
troubleshooting of the hub/node.
