Configuring the LMI

After creating the topology, you need to configure the parameters for the LMI according to the project requirements. The LMI detects the added or dropped wavelengths of signals, sends the detection signals into submarine cables for transmission, and splits backscatter optical signals from the detection signals in submarine cables. The backscatter optical signals are used for the detection and analysis of the receive end. It provides a function of near-end loopback, to locate faults between the landing station and the first RPT.

Prerequisites

The LMI must be installed.

Procedure

  1. In the NE Explorer, select an LMI and choose Configuration > WDM Interface from the Function Tree.

  2. Click By Board/Port (Channel), and select Channel or Board from the drop-down menu. Click Query, and the list of the parameters for each optical port or channel is displayed in the user interface.

    NOTE:
    When you select By Function, you can query and set the parameters for the board and channel according to different functions.

  3. Click the Basic Attributes tab, in the field of the corresponding parameter, you can enter or select the corresponding parameter.
  4. Click Apply. A prompt is displayed. Click OK.
