DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
Use optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) to identity any excess loss between the Raman card LINE-RX port and
the customer fibre. After the inspection, a new Raman Calibration is triggered and if the physical problem is fixed, the
alarm will clear.
Step 2
If the alarm is caused by a set-up problem, re-verify all node installation steps and manually trigger a Raman Calibration.

for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447).
RAMAN-CALIBRATION-PENDING
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: OTS
The RAMAN-CALIBRATION-PENDING condition is raised on the EDRA-1-xx, EDRA-2-xx, and
RAMAN-CTP cards when automatic Raman pump calibration is scheduled to run repeatedly after the first
installation or fiber cut. The condition is cleared when the Raman pump calibration succeeds or fails for 30
attempts.

RAMAN-CALIBRATION-RUNNING
Default Severity: Critical (CR), Service-Affecting (SA)
Logical Object: OTS
The RAMAN-CALIBRATION-RUNNING alarm is raised on the EDRA-1-xx, EDRA-2-xx, and RAMAN-CTP
cards when the Raman pump calibration is running. The alarm is cleared when the Raman pump calibration
succeeds or fails.

for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447).
RAMAN-G-NOT-REACHED
Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: OTS
The RAMAN-G-NOT-REACHED alarm is raised on the OPT-RAMP-C, OPT-RAMP-CE, EDRA-1-xx,
EDRA-2-xx, and RAMAN-CTP cards when the Raman gain value is lower than the ANS target. The alarm
also occurs after a cut restoration procedure fails to restore the expected Raman gain set point.
The
Fiber Cut Recovery
field in the
Maintenance > Installation
tab in the card view of CTC displays the
status as "Failed" and the Raman gain value is lower than the set point.
