Cause/Solution
Error Message
Error
Depending on the Raman card that
is installed on the facing node, the
card that actually generates the
probe signal is :
EDRA-1-xx to EDRA-1-xx in the
other side
EDRA-2-xx to EDRA-2 -xx itself
RAMAN-CTP - to the booster card
launching power into the fiber.
Verify that there are no ports in
disabled state. Ensure all
patchcords from the Raman card to
the other card are generating the
probe signal.
Failed turning on/off probe output
power in facing node
Error RC08
If the condition does not clear, log
into the Technical Support Website
at
for more
information or call Cisco TAC (1
800 553-2447).
Failed enabling/disabling probe
power into fibre in facing node
Error RC09
Failed setting Raman Pumps to
calibration power
Error RC10
Failed setting Raman Pumps to
stand-by power
Error RC11
Failed setting Raman Pumps to
ANS target power
Error RC12
The Raman card did not detect any
probe signal from the other node
indicating a failure in the LINE-RX
photodiode. The Raman card needs
to be replaced.
Measured probe input power level
on Line-RX is below measurable
level
Error RC13
After turning on the Raman pumps,
no input ASE is detected. There
may be a problem with the
transmission fiber. Inspect all
connectors and verify losses
between Raman card LINE-RX
connector and the transmission
fiber input.
Measured input Raman ASE on
Line-RX is below measurable level
(no Raman amplification!)
Error RC14
The probe signal contains channels
that do not cover the entire optical
band (for example, all channels at
one end of the spectrum). Add more
channels to the probe signal or
disable the channels so that Raman
calibration can run using ASE.
Cards in facing node are not
suitable for Raman calibration
