9.6 VIEWING HOST SERF OPTICAL PORTS

The

Host Optical Ports

view shows the current usage and alarm status of the optical

ports on the Host plus the current values of some key operating parameters. The Host

has eight optical ports, but the

Host Optical Ports

view only shows active ports

(physically connected to a Remote). Each port in the page represents one set of

forward and reverse paths between a Host and Remote. Physically, this may have

been accomplished with two fibers through that port or with a single fiber (if WDM is

used). Each physical port contains an SFP transceiver with two connectors.

The

Host Optical Ports

view provides a link that can be used to enter or edit the name

for a Host optical port (see “Enter a Host Name, Clock Source, and Linking Mode” on

page 147).

For corrective actions for alarm states, refer to “Troubleshooting Alarms” on

page 264.

To access the

Host Optical Ports

view, in the Function Explorer Tree, select

System View

Host-

SERF

Optical Ports

(where

x is the Host name).

The

Optical Ports

view for

Host

-n opens in the EMS View Frame, which only shows the

Receive power level from the Remote unit (REV path). To see the Receive power level

in the FWD path (from the Host to the Remote), you must open the

Optical Ports

view

for the desired Remote as described in “Viewing Remote SeRF Optical Ports” on

page 248.
