Summary: An OTU board reports the IN_PWR_HIGH alarm indicating that a resistor fails
in the Source optical module. Constantly reporting the alarm does not affect services, but is
perceivable.
Product Line: Transport Product Family: WDM
Product Model: OptiX OSN 1800 OptiX OSN 6800 OptiX Metro 6100
[Problem Description]
Trigger conditions:
There is a low probability that an OTU board reports the IN_PWR_HIGH alarm after it has
been running with an 80-km CWDM Source optical module for over a year.
Symptom:
An OTU board reports the IN_PWR_HIGH alarm while services are running properly.
The maximum receive optical power is –7.x dBm, where x is a digit.
Identification method:
Verify that the following conditions are met:
The OTU board is installed on the OptiX OSN 1800, OptiX Metro 6100, or OptiX OSN 6800.
The model type of the optical module on the OTU board contains the “6128C-SL80” or
“6128C-L80” field.
The model type of the optical module can be determined by viewing the manufacturing
information.
Figure 1 shows the manufacturing information of an example optical module with the
Navigator Command (cfg-get-bdinfo:),.
Manufacturing information of an example optical module
The model type of the optical module with blue label is 6128C-SL8055G, which
contains the “6128C-SL80” field.
[Root Cause]
A resistor fails in the 80-km CWDM Source optical module. This increases the
resistance from 3000 ohm to over 1000,000 ohm and the voltage to the saturation
voltage. As a result, the receive optical power exceeds the specified threshold.
[Impact and Risk]
This issue may occur on the equipment in and outside China.
Constantly reporting the alarm does not affect services, but is perceivable.
[Measures and Solutions]
Recovery measures:
N/A
Workarounds:
Replace the optical module.
Preventive measures:
Replace the optical module.
Optical modules provided by Source Photonics are CWDM optical modules, which
correspond to eight BOM numbers. The following table describes the mapping
between the BOM numbers and wavelengths.
Material handling after replacement:
The replaced optical module is scrapped.
