Node Level (Intranode) Problems
The final state for the VOAs is the power control working mode. In this mode, the attenuation that the VOA
introduces is automatically set based on the feedback provided from a dedicated photodiode, so that a specific
power setpoint value is reached and maintained.
VOA Startup Phases
The final VOA condition is achieved through a startup procedure divided into the four sequential phases
shown in
Figure 19: VOA Startup Procedure, on page 80
Figure 19: VOA Startup Procedure
Until the VOA has completed all the phases shown in
Figure 19: VOA Startup Procedure, on page 80
, the
power control mode is not fully activated.
