SCOPE
1. Scope
This document describes the user interfaces for ChromaFlex chassis and associated plug-in application modules. The user
interfaces include chassis and application module front panel LEDs, the hand-held display module’s button operations and
LCD display, Craft Line Interfaces and remote monitoring through SNMP and Graphical User Interface.

LED DISPLAY
2. LED Display
The chassis has a single status LED on the controller module and each plug-in application module has module specic
LEDs that are visible from the front panel. The LED trigger conditions shall be included in each individual module chapters.
2.1 LED Color Codes
There are four possible colors of LEDs. They are observed during the following conditions.
Off: indicates the monitored function is unavailable. This is also observed temporarily during power on LED test.
Green: indicates the monitored function is healthy. This is also temporarily observed during power on LED test.
Amber: indicates the monitored function is in minor alarm condition. This is also temporarily observed during power on LED
test.
Red: indicates the monitored function is in major alarm condition. This is also observed temporarily during power on LED
test.
Power up LED test:
At the beginning of each power up of all modules, the color of all LEDs turns from Red, Yellow to Green.
Figure 1: Generic Alarm & LED Table
2.2 Chassis Controller
The chassis controller module contains the system software and provides the user access to provision and monitor the
chassis and plug-in application modules. The controller is responsible for reporting the chassis and plug-in module related
status and alarm conditions. The chassis related alarms are reected on the controller module front panel Status LED.

2.3 Plug-in Modules
2.3.1 Chromadigm Chirp Cancelled Transmitter Module CCTX (CCT4/CCT2)
The Chromadigm Chirp Cancelled Transmitter Module CCTX (CCT4/CCT2) has four pairs of LEDs on the front panel
marked with their associated ITU channel 1 to 4.
The CCTX detects the alarms and reects them on the front panel LEDs based on the following schema.
LED Trigger Events
OPT Laser temperature
Output power (Laser Power)
Module temperature
RF RF
Example #1: The module temperature is normal, but the laser temperature is at a level that indicates a major alarm. The top
LED associated with the interface shall be observed as “red”.
2.3.2 Chromadigm Chirp Cancelled Transmitter Module (CCT1)
The Chromadigm Chirp Cancelled Transmitter Module (CCT1) and CCT1 variance have one pairs of LEDs on the front
panel marked with their associated ITU channel 1.
The CCT1 detects the alarms and reects them on the front panel LEDs based on the following schema.
LED Trigger Events
OPT Laser temperature
Output power
Module temperature
RF RF
Example #1: The module temperature is normal, but the laser temperature is at a level that indicates a major alarm. The top
LED associated with the interface shall be observed as “red”.
2.3.3 EDFA / AGC-EDFA / VG-EDFA
The EDFA detects the alarms and reects them on the front panel LEDs based on the following schema.
LED Location Trigger Events
Status Module temperature
IN Optical input power
OUT EDFA: Optical output power
AGC-EDFA: Gain
Example #1: The optical input power is at a level that indicates a major alarm. The IN LED shall be observed as “red”.
2.3.4 Quad Return Receiver (QRRX)
The Quad Return Receiver (QRRX) detects the alarms and reects them on the front panel LEDs based on the following
schema.
LED Location Trigger Events
Status Module temperature
1-4 Optical input power
Example #1: The optical input power #1 is at a level that indicates a major alarm. The #1 LED shall be observed as “red”.

2.3.5 Optical Switch
The Optical Switch detects the alarms and reects them on the front panel LEDs based on the following schema.
LED Location Trigger Events
Status Alarm(s) triggered by switch alarm and/or module temp alarm
PRI Opt In Pwr level crosses alarm thresholds
SEC Opt In Pwr level crosses user settable thresholds
Example #1: The module temperature is normal, but switch is major. The top LED associated with the slot shall be observed
as “red”.
2.3.6 DMTx (DMT2 1310, DMT2 ITU, DMT3 1310, DMT3 ITU, DMT4 1310, DMT4 ITU)
The DMTx detects the alarms and reects them on the front panel LEDs based on the following schema. For DMT3
modules, there are three pairs of LEDs (OPT on top and RF on bottom) and DMT4 modules, there are four pairs of LEDs.
LED Trigger Events
OPT (Top) Laser temperature
Laser power
Module temperature
RF (Bottom) RF
Example #1: The module temperature is normal, but the laser temperature is at a level that indicates a major alarm. The top
LED associated with the interface shall be observed as “red”.
