supports gain adjustment, in-service monitoring of optical performance, gain
locking, and transient state control.
Table 24-2 describes the functions and features of the DAP board.

OptiX OSN 1800
Table 24-2 Functions and features of the DAP board

Function and Description
Feature
Basic functions ● Amplifies the power of the received optical signals in the
C-band. This board supports wavelengths within the
range of 1529 nm to 1561 nm.
● Supports service transmission with varying fiber spans
without using electrical regeneration.
Light sensor (LS) ● The IN and OUT ports detect and report multiplexed-
wavelength optical power.
● The OUT port detects the single-wavelength wavelength
and single-wavelength optical power of an OTU board
with the LS function at the source end.
● The board works with the OD license. After the OD
function is configured, the board supports OSNR
detection for single-wavelength signals of an OTU board
with the LS function at the source end.
Optical Amplifier Supports dual pluggable optical amplifier modules

Module TN52OACE101/TN52OACE105/TN52OACE106/
TN52OACE107/TN52OACE108.
Gain adjustment TN52OACE101: Continually adjusts the gain from 20 dB to

31 dB based on the input signal power
TN52OACE105: Continually adjusts the gain from 23 dB to
23 dB based on the input signal power.
In-service optical Each optical amplifier unit provides an in-service

performance monitoring port. This port connects to an optical spectrum
monitoring analyzer or spectrum analyzer unit to monitor the signal
power performance without affecting traffic.
Gain locking The EDFA has the gain locking function. When this function
is enabled, adding or dropping one or more channels or
signal power fluctuation inside some channels does not
affect the signal gain of other channels.
Working mode In the gain locking mode, the gain of the board is tunable
and the user can query the actual gain of the board.
Transient state The EDFA inside the board has the transient state control
control function. When channels are added or dropped, the board
can suppress the power fluctuation inside the signal
channels to support smooth upgrades and expansions.

● EDFA optical module
– Multiplexed signal light and pump light enter the erbium-doped fiber for
amplification. The erbium-doped fiber that is excited by the pump laser
can amplify the optical signal to implement the optical power
amplification function.
– The splitter splits some optical signals from the main optical path for
optical power detection.
– The splitter splits some optical signals from the main optical path and
provides them to the MON interface for detection.
● Optical power detection module
Detects in real time the input/output optical power of service signals.
● Control and communication module
– Controls operations on the board.
– Controls operations on each module of the board according to CPU
instructions.
– Collects information about alarms, performance events, working states
and voltage detection from each functional module on the board.
– Communicates with the system control and communication board.
● Power module
– Converts the DC power supplied by the backplane into the power
required by each module on the board.

Pmon (dBm) = 10 x lg(99/1) = 20 dB.
Laser Hazard Level

For DAP (using TN52OACE101, TN52OACE106, and TN52OACE108 OA modules):
The laser hazard level of the board is HAZARD LEVEL 1M, indicating that the
maximum power launched by the board ranges from 10 dBm (10 mW) to 21.3
dBm (136 mW).
For DAP (using TN52OACE105 and TN52OACE107 OA modules):
The IPA function must be configured for the OAU105 and OAU107 boards in the
WDM system. After the IPA function is configured, the laser safety class of the
board meets the requirements of HAZARD LEVEL 1M.

In-service optical Each optical amplifier unit provides an in-service

performance monitoring port. This port connects to an optical spectrum
monitoring analyzer or spectrum analyzer unit to monitor the signal
power performance without affecting traffic.
Gain locking The EDFA has the gain locking function. When this function
is enabled, adding or dropping one or more channels or
signal power fluctuation inside some channels does not
affect the signal gain of other channels.
Working mode In the gain locking mode, the gain of the board is tunable
and the user can query the actual gain of the board.

NOTE
An EVOA is used to adjust signal optical power. You can either attach the EVOA to the OUT
optical port to adjust the transmit optical power of this board or attach the EVOA to the IN
optical port to adjust the receive optical power of this board. Variable optical attenuators
are optional for the TNF1OBU board but internally equipped in the TNF2OBU board.
Signal Flow
One multiplexed optical signal received through the IN port is input to the
erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) optical module. The EDFA optical module
amplifies the optical power of the signal and locks the gain of the signal. Then,
the amplified multiplexed signal is output through the OUT port
The multiplexed signal can also be input from the VI optical port, and output from
the VO optical port after the optical power is adjusted, and then received by the
IN optical port.
Functional Modules
– The optical splitter splits some optical signals from the main optical path
and provides them to the MON port for detection.

OptiX OSN 1800
● Drive and detection module

– Detects the optical power of service signals in real time.
– Detects the drive current, back facet current, cooling current, and
operating temperature and ambient temperature of the pump laser inside
the EDFA optical module in real time.
– Drives the pump laser inside the EDFA optical module.
– Reports alarms and performance events to the communication module.
● Variable optical attenuator
– Adjust the transmit or receive optical power.
– After the TNF1OBU board is powered on, the default attenuation of the
EVOA retains the maximum value 20 dB, ensuring that the board is not
overloaded.
– After the TNF2OBU board is powered on, the default attenuation of the
EVOA retains the value 17 dB.
● Communication module
– Collects the information of alarms, performance events, and working
states of each functional module of the unit.
– Communicates with the system control, switching, and timing board, to
control and operate on each module of the unit.
● Power module
– Converts the DC power into the power required by each module of the
unit.
