HI-RXPOWER

5. If the alarm does not clear, complete the
MXP or TXP card.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the TXP or MXP card to open the card
view.
Step 2 Click the Performance > Optics PM > Current Values tabs.
Step 3
Verify the card laser temperature levels. Maximum, minimum, and average laser temperatures are shown in the Current
column entries in the Laser Temp rows.
Step 4 Complete the Reset a Card in CTC, on page 449
Step 5 If the alarm does not clear, complete the
card.
If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at
for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447).
HI-RXPOWER
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: 2R, ESCON, FC, GE, ISC, OCN/STMN, TRUNK, EQPT
The Equipment High Receive Power alarm is an indicator of the optical signal power that is transmitted to
the TXP_MR_10G, TXP_MR_2.5G, TXPP_MR_2.5G, TXP_MR_10E, TXP_MR_10E_C, TXP_MR_10E_L,
MXP_2.5G_10G, OC192-XFP, GE-XP, 10GE-XP, ADM-10G, or OTU2_XP card. HI-RXPOWER occurs
when the measured optical power of the received signal exceeds the threshold. The threshold value is
user-provisionable.
Clear the HI-RXPOWER Alarm
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Check the PM of the TRUNK-RX port. Verify that received power is above the optics threshold:
2. Verify that the Trunk-Rx port is cabled correctly, and clean the fiber connecting the faulty TXP/MXP to
the Drop port of the DWDM card (32DMX, or 40DMX). If no site cleaning practices are available, refer
to the fiber cleaning procedure in the Maintain the Node chapter of the Configuration Guide.
3. Determine whether a bulk attenuator is specified by the Cisco Transport Planner design. If so, verify that
the proper fixed attenuation value has been used.
4. Using a test set, check the optical power value of the Drop port of the DWDM card (32DMX, or 40DMX)
connected to the faulty TXP/MXP. If the read value is different (+1 dBm or 1 dBm) from the ANS setpoint
for Padd&drop-Drop power, move to next step.
5. Look for and troubleshoot any alarm reported by the cards belonging to the OCHNC circuit destinating
at the faulty TXP/MXP. Possible alarms include amplifier Gain alarms (the
