Notes
This Safety Guide provides safety information and symbols, as well as safety instructions
for the installation, operation and maintenance of WaveReady products.
This Safety Guide contains the following topics
• Safety Symbols
• Safety Overview
• Safety Instructions
• Avoiding Electrostatic Discharge
DANGER
Danger shows the presence of a hazard that will cause death
or severe personal injury if the hazard is not avoided.
WARNING
Warning shows the presence of a hazard that can cause
severe personal injury or property damage if the hazard is
not avoided.
CAUTION
Caution shows the presence of a hazard that will or can
cause minor personal injury or property damage if the
hazard is not avoided. Caution is also used for
property-damage-only accidents. This includes equipment
damage, loss of software, or service interruption.
The guidelines which follow may or may not be applicable for each type of laser
installation.
Because the laser hazard is related to the wavelength, intensity, and intended use of the
laser, the guidelines may be relaxed accordingly. For example, a Class 4 laser placed
into a properly constructed enclosed beam path system may be reclassified as Class 1
or 2. The required safety measures would then be reduced.
DIRECT EXPOSURE OF THE EYE BY A LASER BEAM MUST ALWAYS BE
AVOIDED WITH ANY LASER, NO MATTER HOW LOW THE POWER.
Appropriate safety measures in a particular case are based on the Nominal Hazard
Zone (NHZ), which is the range over which the laser radiation is hazardous.
Collimated laser beams can propagate long distances; in this case the NHZ is limited
by the walls of the laser controlled area or other containment means.
In the case of laser radiation coupled to optical fiber (such as in an EDFA), the beam
diverges rapidly on leaving the fiber. In this case the NHZ may be relatively short.
Depending on the NHZ and the particular characteristics of the work space, it can be
determined whether controls such as protective curtains are required to protect nearby
workers and passers-by.
1) Control measures are not required, although needless direct exposure of the
eyes must be avoided.
2) A label is required identifying the equipment as a Class 1 laser.
1) The laser must have a protective housing such that laser light emerges from the
aperture only.
2) A key switch interlock system must be used to prevent unauthorized use of the
laser.
All of the measures outlined in 3b above must be followed in addition to the measures
below.
Warning!
WaveReady equipment must be installed and maintained by qualified staff from the
end-user communications company or subcontractor of the end-user organization.
The end-user and/or installer are solely responsible for ensuring that the correct
devices are utilized in the equipment and the equipment with LDMs installed complies
with applicable laser safety requirements.
Warning!
This equipment is intended for installation in a restricted access area; where access can
only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock, key, or other
means of security. A restricted access area is controlled by the authority responsible for
the location. The system is NOT for use in a computer room as defined in the Standard
for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.
Warning!
Technicians working with this equipment must not allow their eyes or bodies to be
exposed to the laser beam or to a reflection from a mirror-like surface. Additionally,
viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (eye loupes, microscopes)
within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye hazard.
WaveReady Shelves
To avoid the risk of personal injury, property damage or damage to the shelf or
modules installed in it, always follow these recommendations:
• Inspect the shelf for any signs of damage, and read the relevant sections of the shelf
installation guide thoroughly before installation.
• Install the unit as specified.
• Ensure that the shelf is grounded. Also ensure that any device or cord connected
to it is properly grounded, for example, the Ethernet cord connected to the front
of a COM-200 unit should be connected to a properly grounded unit at its other
end.
WaveReady Modules
To avoid the risk of personal injury, property damage or damage to the module, always
follow these recommendations:
• Inspect the module for any signs of damage, and read the relevant sections of the
module installation guide thoroughly before installation.
• Install the unit as specified.
• Ensure that the shelf into which the module is installed is grounded.
Warning
To avoid the risk of injury or death, always observe the following precautions before
initializing the unit:
• Never look into the end of an optical cable connected to an operating optical
output device. Laser radiation may be invisible, and direct exposure can severely
injure the human eye.
• Never use a microscope, magnifying device or eye loupe to look into a fiber end.
• Do not use the unit outdoors.
• To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to any source of
excessive moisture.
• Do not operate the unit when its covers or panels have been removed.
• Do not interrupt the protective earth grounding. Any such action can lead to a
potential shock hazard that can result in serious personal injury.
• Repairs to the unit must be performed by authorized JDSU personnel.
• Do not operate the unit in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
• Do not perform any operating or maintenance procedure that is not described in
this manual.
Fiber optic cable is fragile and must be handled with care. In addition, the laser light
emitted by a fiber optic cable can cause permanent eye damage.
Always follow these guidelines to avoid damaging the fiber or eyes:
• Never look into the end of a fiber. Do not view the fiber directly or with optical
instruments. Laser light may be invisible and can cause permanent eye damage.
• Never touch the exposed end of a fiber. Skin oils left on the fiber reduce the
transmission quality of the signal. Glass chips or slivers from the fiber can become
embedded in skin.
• Never force an optical connector into a port. Some connectors have a ceramic
ferrule that is easily broken.
• Do not pull, push, or stretch fibers.
• Do not bend fibers to a diameter of less than 7.62 cm (3 inches).
Refer to the WaveReady Fiber Cleaning Manual for information about the proper
cleaning and handling of fiber optic cable and connectors.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage WaveReady modules. Always follow these
guidelines to avoid ESD:
• Wear ESD-conductive foot straps and always wear an ESD-conductive wrist strap
connected to the ESD plug on the front of the WaveReady shelf, when performing
installation or maintenance procedures on the modules or shelf.
• Do not remove an ESD-sensitive module from the package until ready to install it
in a mounting solution.
• Do not pass an ESD-sensitive module to another person.
• Do not carry an ESD-sensitive module unless it is in an anti-static container or
bag.
• Avoid touching any circuitry in the module.

Product Description
WaveReady WRA series amplifiers are erbium-doped fibre amplifier products
compatible with a single slot in the WR3500F and WR3100 shelves.
The WRA-1xx are single-channel EDFAs available in four output power variants
(WRA-110, -113, -116 and -119). Each variant may be configured for use in booster,
inline and pre-amplifier applications.
The WRA-2xx are DWDM EDFAs provide a higher power (i.e., 19dBm) variant19
and 20dBm) variants. Like WRA-1xx EDFAs, the WRA-2xx may also be configured
for use in booster, inline and pre-amplifier applications.
The WRA series amplifier products are designed for compatibility with the COM-200
communications module, and through it offer management features that are
consistent with other WaveReady modules.
In the case of a single shelf, a WaveReady COM-200 communications module must
also be installed to provide communications and management capabilities consistent
with WaveReady System 4.3 and later. However, up to three WR3100 shelves can be
interconnected, increasing capacity to six modules: five to provide network support
and one COM-200 module to manage them.
There are nine variants of WRA amplifiers:
1. WRA-110: Single-channel EDFA with maximum 10 dBm total output power
2. WRA-113: Single-channel EDFA with maximum 13 dBm total output power
3. WRA-116: Single-channel EDFA with maximum 16 dBm total output power
4. WRA-119: Single-channel EDFA with maximum 19 dBm total output power
5. WRA-217: Multi-channel (DWDM) EDFA with maximum 17dBm total output
power (C-band)
6. WRA-217OSC: WRA-217 plus 1510nm OSC Add/Drop filters
7. WRA-217L: Multi-channel (DWDM) EDFA with maximum 17dBm total output
power (L-band)
8. WRA-219: Multi-channel (DWDM) EDFA with maximum 19dBm total output
power
9. WRA-219OSC: WRA-219 plus 1510nm OSC Add/Drop filters
W R A- 1 x x S i n g l e - C h a n n e l Am p l i f i e r s
The WRA-1xx amplifiers are single-channel C-Band optical amplifiers with variable 7
to 26 dB gain and output power between 10 and 19 dBm. Modules are configurable for
use in booster, inline and pre-amplifier applications.
The WRA-1xx amplifiers support applications requiring single-channel deployment

deployment scenarios for the OSC variants of the WaveReady Optical Amplifier.
Terminal Sites
OADM Deployments
M a n a g e m e nt I nte r f a ce s
Communications with WaveReady modules installed in the WaveReady shelf is done
via the COM-200 controller module. Establish a local connection to the COM-200
module using a PC attached to its serial port, or use a remote TCP/IP connection if
COM-200 Ethernet settings have been configured.
Supported communication interfaces include:
• WaveReady Node Manager (WRNM) application
• Transaction Language 1 (TL1)
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
TL 1
WaveReady products use the industry-recognized protocol TL1 to exchange messages
between modules installed in a WaveReady WaveReady shelf, and the network
management system that monitors and manages the system. WaveReady modules
support TL1 messages for network operations, provisioning, surveillance, and
commissioning. See the WaveReady™ TL1 Reference Manual for more
information.
SNMP
WaveReady products also support the SNMP management interface. SNMP is an
application-layer communication protocol, which uses proprietary and standard
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Management Information Base (MIBs) to
convey information.
SNMP enables network devices to retrieve and modify the value of management
information and provides event notification to an SNMP management system. It
enables limited management of a device by a generic, third-party SNMP manager.
See the WaveReady™ SNMP Reference Manual for more information.

Cl a s s i f i c at i o n
The exposed metal chassis of the WaveReady™ Optical Amplifier 1xx/2xx
(WRA-1xx/2xx) is grounded directly to earth through the WaveReady shelf in which
it is installed. The WRA-1xx/2xx module is a Class III electrical device. This
classification refers to equipment in which protection from electric shock is provided
by the fact that the electrical supply is from separated or safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) circuits in which hazardous voltages are not generated.
This symbol appears on the WaveReady shelf, to indicate a ground conductor
terminal.
L a s e r S p e c i f i c at i o n s
The WRA-1xx/2xx is a Class 1M Laser Product as per IEC 60825-1:2001. It complies
with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No.
50, dated July 26, 2001
Class 1M lasers are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation. There
may be more powerful lasers inside the unit, but no harmful radiation can escape the
enclosure while fiber is connected to the input and output ports.

WARNING
The WRA-1xx/2xx is intended for installation in a restricted access area. A
restricted access area is where access can only be gained by service
personnel through the use of a special tool, lock, key, or other means of
security. A restricted access area is controlled by the authority responsible.
The system is NOT for use in a computer room as defined in the Standard
for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment,
ANSI/NFPA 75.
WARNING
Procedures that require the fiber connections to be open must only be
performed by service personnel trained in laser safety requirements. Use
WARNING
Craftspeople working with the WRA 1xx/2xx must not allow their eyes or
bodies to be exposed to the laser beam or to a reflection from a mirror-like
surface. Additionally, viewing the laser output with certain optical
instruments (eye loupes, microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may
pose an eye hazard.
WARNING
In the event of a fiber cut or loss of connection when there is no input
power, the WRA 1xx/2xx still has between 5 and 10 dBm of optical output
power.
Purpose
Use this procedure before beginning the installation to ensure that the WRA 1xx/2xx
module is in good condition and has no signs of damage.
Steps
Proceed as follows:
__1 Unpack the module and inspect it for the appearance of any structural
damage that might have occurred during shipping.
__ 2 Keep the original packing materials and the invoices.
__ 3 If any equipment is damaged contact JDSU technical support. (Chapter 7:
“Technical Support and Services” on page 7-1) and see the instructions in
Chapter 6: “Claims, Returns, and Shipping” on page 6-1.
__ 4 Continue to the next procedure.
END OF PROCEDURE
.....................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
Use this procedure to install the WRA 1xx/2xx in the shelf.
The WRA 1xx/2xx supports hot swapping in WaveReady shelves. Modules can be
replaced without disrupting other modules in the shelf or requiring the disconnection
of power to the shelf.

Purpose
Use this procedure to configure the module prior to making the optical connections.
Pre-configuring the module to set the operating mode and other parameters will
minimise the possibility of raising alarms during the optical connection process.
Note: Since the optical connections have not yet been made, some module
properties, such as laser temperature, signal gain, pump current and laser status, will
not be available. Module properties are detailed in Table 4-8 on page 4-9.
Note: At a minimum, configuring the operating mode (as Constant Gain or
Constant Power) is required before making the optical connections. Module
configuration parameters are detailed in Table 4-9 on page 4-11.
Requirements
An active connection to the module via Node Manager is required.
Precautions
This procedure has no special precautions.
Steps
Proceed as follows:
__1 Select the module from the WaveReady Node Manager Equipment List on
the left hand side of the Node Manager window.
__ 2 (Optional) Use Fault > Configure Alarm Thresholds to configure these
module settings:

__ 5 Enter the desired settings and click Apply.
END OF PROCEDURE
.....................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
Use this fiber and connector cleaning procedure to clean the optical fibers and
connectors prior to making optical connections. Clean each fiber and connector and
make its connections before cleaning the next fiber.
Note: For a complete discussion of fiber cleaning methods, see the WaveReady
Fiber Cleaning Manual.
Requirements
Cleaning fibers requires a basic fiber cleaning kit which includes a Cletop or similar
lint-free dry fiber cleaning device. For wet fiber cleaning, a lint free towel impregnated
with optical grade isopropyl alcohol may be used.
Precautions
See Standard and Optical Safety Requirements on page 3-2.
CAUTION
Do not use rubbing alcohol, which contains 30% water. Use only optical
grade isopropyl alcohol or denatured ethanol to clean fiber ends.
DANGER
Risk of laser radiation exposure. If equipment is transmitting or
receiving a signal, there is a risk of exposure to laser radiation when
cleaning fibers and connectors. Avoid eye exposure to a beam from
fiber ends and connectors. Do not view the fiber directly or with
optical instruments.
Steps
Proceed as follows:
__1 Inspect the optical fiber connector, component, or bulkhead with a
fiberscope.
__ 2 If the connector appears to be dirty, use a dry cleaning technique to clean it.
__ 3 Inspect the connector again, and if the connector still appears to be dirty,
repeat the dry cleaning technique.
__ 4 If the connector still appears dirty, use a wet cleaning technique to clean it,
followed immediately by a dry cleaning technique in order to ensure no
residue is left on the end face.
NoteWet cleaning should only be done as a last resort, particularly for
bulkheads and receptacles.
__ 5 Inspect the connector again and if the contaminate still has not been
removed, repeat the cleaning procedure until the end face is clean. If, after a
reasonable number of cleaning attempts, the end face still appears to be dirty,
then the optical fiber connector may be damaged and may need to be
replaced.
END OF PROCEDURE
.....................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
Use this procedure to verify the power levels and make the optical connections. Make
a connection using a fiber and connector cleaned in the previous procedure before
moving on to the next fiber to be cleaned and connected.
Requirements
LC/UPC single-mode fiber is required.
A power meter is required.
LC/UPC attenuators might be required, depending on the tested power levels. The
input power level and the gain settings must fall within the range specified in Table
2-1 on page 2-18 and Table 2-2 on page 2-23. Refer also to the module’s power mask
information shown in Figure 2-14 on page 2-21 to Figure 2-20 on page 2-26.
Precautions
See Standard and Optical Safety Requirements on page 3-2.
Steps
Proceed as follows:
__1 Connect the appropriate outgoing signal fiber (for example, the outside plant
fiber, a DCM input fiber, or a jumper to the terminal equipment receiver) to
the Tx output port.
__ 2 Use the power meter to measure the power level of the incoming signal fiber
(for example, from the outside plant fiber, a DCM or the terminal equipment
transmitter).
__ 3 If the signal is above the specified range for the module, apply the required
attenuator.
NoteFor the required ranges, refer to Table 2-1 on page 2-18 or Table 2-2
on page 2-23 and Figure 2-14 on page 2-21 to Figure 2-20 on page 2-26.
__ 4 Connect the fiber to the WRA 1xx/2xx Rx port.
__ 5 Log in to the Node Manager application to confirm that the output power
levels are within the specified range, depending on the input power and
expected gain or output power target for the WRA 1xx/2xx variant and
application (booster or pre-amp).
NoteFor example, if the input power is 0 dBm, then the output power
should be +17 dBm since it would be in saturation. If the Input Power is
-25 dBm, then the output power would be approximately -2 dBm. See
Table 2-1 on page 2-18 or Table 2-2 on page 2-23.
See the WaveReady Node Manager Installation and User Guide for infor-
mation about using Node Manager.

Management Tools
Three management interfaces enable communication and management of the
WRA-1xx/2xx module, via a local or Ethernet connection to the WaveReady™
Communications Module 200 (COM-200) controller module in the shelf or
interconnected shelves.
The recommended management tool is WaveReady Node Manager (WRNM). This
application is described in WaveReady™ Node Manager (WRNM) Installation and
User Guide. It provides an easy-to-use graphical interface utilizing underlying TL1
commands.
Transaction Language 1 (TL1) management interface commands for WaveReady
systems are described in the WaveReady™ TL1 Reference Manual.
SNMP management interface for WaveReady systems is described in the WaveReady™
SNMP Reference Manual.
Note: See the WaveReady™ COM-200 Model COM-200ET002Y Installation and
User Guide for information about the COM-200.

Sequence Description
1 When the WRA-1xx/2xx is initially powered-up, the CARD LED turns
RED and the other LEDs remain off.
2 When the software begins to boot, the CARD LED flashes GREEN.
3 If the software fails to execute, the CARD LED remains solid RED.
Otherwise, all of the LEDs except the CARD LED flash sequentially
from the top to the bottom.
4 The software runs a self-test of the module’s hardware to determine
whether there are currently faults on the module.
5 After the software has initialized, the CARD LED reflects the state of
the module. For the In-Service normal state, this is solid GREEN. If
hardware faults exist the appropriate alarm LED and relay are set.
6 The software attempts to establish communication with the
COM-200 in the shelf. When communication is established, the
COM-200 updates the time-of-day module and the TL1 <aid> on the
WRA-1xx/2xx module.

W R A- 1 x x
When the WRA-1xx amplifier is configured to the Constant Signal Gain operating
mode, the module maintains a constant signal gain by automatically adjusting the
pump laser bias current in response to changes in optical input power to the device.
Signal gain is user-configurable value between 7 and x dB, where:
• x = 13dB for WRA-110
• x = 19dB for WRA-113
• x = 26dB for WRA-116
• x = 26dB for WRA-119
The factory default gain for each variant is equal its maximum configurable value.
In addition, when operating in constant gain mode, the output power of the WRA-1xx
amplifier is limited to a maximum value of y dBm, where:
• y = 10dBm for WRA-110
• y = 13dBm for WRA-113
• y = 16dBm for WRA-116
• y = 19dBm for WRA-119
W R A- 2 x x
When the WRA-2xx amplifier is configured to the Constant Signal Gain operating
mode, the module maintains a constant signal gain by automatically adjusting the
pump laser bias current and VOA attenuation in response to changes in optical input
power to the device. Signal gain is a user-configurable value over a range between x
and 23 dB, where:
• x = 13 for WRA-217 / WRA-217OSC
• x = 13 for WRA-217L
• x = 17 for WRA-219 / WRA-219OSC
The factory default gain for each variant is equal its maximum configurable value.
In addition, when operating in constant gain mode, the output power of the WRA-2xx
amplifier is limited to a maximum value of y dBm, where:
• y = +17 for WRA-217 / WRA-217OSC
• y = +17 WRA-217L
• y = +19 WRA-219 / WRA-219OSC
The factory default total output power for each variant is equal to its maximum
configurable value.
When operating in constant output power mode, the gain of the amplifier is limited to
a maximum value of 23 dBm.

Default State
Upon installation, a module and its ports will default to an In-Service Normal state. If
any faults exist, the module or ports may then transition out of service autonomously,
returning to the In-Service Normal state once the faults are resolved.
Message Description
State Change Reports a change in the state of the module or port. The state can be changed
using the Node Manager Status and Maintenance page.
Module Reboot The module has recovered from a user-initiated or stimulus-initiated restart.
S t a t e P r o p a ga t i o n
The state of the WRA-1xx/2xx module propagates to the Tx and Rx ports. Therefore,
a traffic affecting fault on the module (such as Laser Fail) which causes the module to
transition from In-service Normal to Out of Service Autonomous, will in turn cause
both the Tx and Rx ports to transition from In-service Normal to Out of Service
Autonomous.
In addition, the state of the Rx port will propagate to the Tx port. For example, a traffic
affecting fault (such as an LOS) on the Rx port which causes the Rx port to transition
from In-service Normal to Out of Service Autonomous, will in turn causes the Tx
port to transition from In-service Normal to Out of Service Autonomous.

Secondary Description
State
FLT A service-affecting fault is present on the module.
FAF An LOS condition exists on the port.
SEO For the Rx port, this state applies only if the card has gone autonomously out of
service (forces both the Rx and Tx ports out of service).
For the Tx port, this state applies if the module is out of service autonomously or the
Rx port is out of service (autonomously or maintenance).
Default State
By default a new module and its ports will attempt to come up in an IS-NR state (not
a maintenance state). Faults that are detected immediately after initialization might
cause the module or port to transition to OOS-AU.
Message Description
State Change Reports a change in the state of the module or port. The state can be changed using
the Node Manager Status and Maintenance page.
Module Reboot The module has recovered from a user-initiated or stimulus-initiated restart.
S t a t e P r o p a ga t i o n
The state of the WRA-1xx/2xx module propagates to the Tx and Rx ports. Therefore,
a traffic affecting fault on the module (such as Laser Fail) which causes the module to
transition from IS-NR to OOS-AU, will in turn cause both the Tx and Rx ports to
transition from IS-NR to OOS-AU.
In addition, the state of the Rx port propagates to the Tx port. For example, a traffic
affecting fault (such as an LOS) on the Rx port which causes the Rx port to transition
from IS-NR to OOS-AU, will in turn causes the Tx port to transition from IS-NR to
OOS-AU.
S t a t e T ra n s i t i o n s
Table 4-26 defines the primary state a managed object will transition to based on its
current state (column header) and event (row header). The initial default state is
In-Service Normal. Secondary states are described in further detail for each specific
managed object
C h a n g i n g a n d R e t r i e v in g S t a t e I n f o r ma t i o n
To view or change the state of the module or port, use the appropriate TL1
commands. See the WaveReady™ TL1 Reference Manual.
When initiating changes to the state of a WRA-1xx/2xx module or port take note of
these important points:
• The ports must be administratively removed from service prior to taking the
WRA-1xx/2xx module out of service, or the request will be rejected. No
restrictions are enforced when returning the module to service.
• Placing the module out-of-service will shut down the laser.
• Placing the module or port in a maintenance state will cause existing
associated alarm conditions to be cleared.
• If a new fault is detected on a WRA-1xx/2xx module that is in a maintenance
state, it will be reported (autonomously or in response to an operator
command) only after the corresponding entity is returned to service.
Software Upgrades
Upgrade a node containing a WRA-1xx/2xx using the Node Manager application or
TL1 interfaces via the COM-200 module.
The WRA-1xx/2xx has two separate flash devices that store redundant CRC-protected
copies of the currently sane application and boot loads. This protects against
corruption during download and deployment, as well as the failure of a single flash
device on the board. Load banking is an internal feature of the WaveReady common
platform and as such the operator is only made aware of the currently executing load.
A separate EDFA download can be initiated in addition to the main Application and
Boot loads.
For more information on software upgrade behavior, see the WaveReady™ Node
Manager (WRNM) Installation and User Guide.
Resetting Software
The WRA-1xx/2xx software is reset either by the hardware watchdog on the board, or
in response to an operator request.
Both warm or cold resets can be performed on the software. A warm reset restarts the
main controller software only, whereas a cold reset restarts all of the board control
systems.
During either type of reset, all the amplifier control parameters (pump current, VOA
setting and so on) are temporarily fixed. Functions such as transient control, fault
detection and reporting (such as LOS detection) are temporarily suspended until the
module recovers.
The WRA-1xx/2xx logs the reset status data, shown in Table 4-27, for use during field
support activities. These logs are retrieved using the Node Manager or the appropriate
TL1 command. See the WaveReady™ Node Manager (WRNM) Installation and User
Guide or the WaveReady™ TL1 Reference Manual.

Ala r m R ep or t in g
Alarms (alarmed conditions) are reported and cleared through the module relays,
LEDs, and autonomous messages issued through the Node Manager interface.
Module relays (if connected to an alarm system) provide the most basic alarm
information (severity).
LEDs and the autonomous messages provide increasingly detailed information about
the alarm.
Alarms Logs for the module and ports are available by first selecting the equipment
component in the WaveReady Node Manager Equipment navigation panel on the left
hand side of the Node Manager window and then clicking the Alarms tab. A
notification code indicates the severity of the fault (For example, see Module Alarm
Messages WRA-1xx/2xx Module Alarm Type (Notification) Codes and Solutions on
page 5-13).
Note: Alarm details are provided at the bottom of the Node Manager window.
Note: The COM-200 module also provides a consolidated view of alarm conditions
on the WRA-1xx/2xx and other modules it manages.
The WaveReady system supports this alarm reporting behavior:
• All alarm notifications identify the severity of the fault:
– Critical (CR)
– Major (MJ)
– Minor (MN)
• Only one alarm is raised in response to a single fault condition.
• Existing faults are reported through the management interface upon demand.
• Alarms are standing conditions, which have associated “cleared” messages
that are sent when the condition ceases to exist.
Eve nt Re p o r t in g
Non-alarmed conditions are logged. In certain instances these non-alarmed
conditions are also reported as events.
Events are conditions with an NA (not alarmed) notification code. Events are defined
as either standing or transient, depending on whether they have a corresponding
“cleared” message.
Events Logs for the module are available by first selecting the equipment component
in the WaveReady Node Manager Equipment List on the left hand side of the Node
Manager window and then clicking the Events Log tab.
Note: Events Logs are not available for the individual ports.
Note: Events Logs can be sorted by clicking the tabs along the top of the report.
These logs can be sorted by date, location, severity, event, description, state and
whether the event was service affecting or not.
Ala r m a n d Eve n t N o t i f i c at i o n Co d e s
All detected conditions have an associated notification code that describes the
severity. The notification code indicates how the condition is reported via the LEDs,
relays and autonomous messages. Table 5-1 lists the WRA-1xx/2xx condition and
notification codes.
Note: Users with appropriate privileges can reconfigure the default condition
severity. See Alarm Monitoring and Severity Configuration on page 5-5.
A l arm H ierarchy
Figure 5-1: WRA-1xx/2xx Alarm Masking Fault Hierarchy shows the WRA-1xx/2xx
faults relationships. This hierarchy dictates the alarm masking in multiple fault
scenarios:
• All alarms resulting from lower level faults clear when an alarm resulting
from a higher level fault is declared.
• When a lower level alarm is cleared, any indication of the fault ceases to exist;
LEDs and relays will not indicate the presence of the lower level alarm, nor
can they be retrieved manually through the TL1 interface.
• If a higher level alarm ceases to exist while a lower level fault on the same
circuit pack or port persists, the higher level alarm is cleared (LEDs and
relays) and the lower level alarm is declared.
Access this window through the Node Manager Fault menu (Fault > Set Alarm
Severity...). See the WaveReady Node Manager Installation and User Guide for more
information about alarm severity configuration.

turning off audible alarms on the node, inhibiting or enabling alarms, setting alarm
severity, and configuring alarm thresholds.
Note: The information shown in Table 5-3 for the Alarm LEDs (MAJ, MIN)
assumes that the alarm severity has not been reconfigured from the factory default
settings.
Note: The CARD and PORT LEDS behave independently of the alarm severity
configuration. Their behavior depends on the service-affecting aspect of the alarm,
which is not configurable.
Note: The information shown for the MAJ/CRIT and MIN Alarm LEDs assumes the
