Optical Xcvr Processor

The Optical Xcvr processor collects metrics and statistics of the optical transceivers. The processor contains two output stages:

  • "Interface Stats": Reports two metrics, Temperature (Celsius) and Voltage (Volt)

  • "Lane Stats": Reports three metrics, Tx Power (dBm), Rx Power (dBm), Tx Bias (mA)

For each reported metric, the processor provides the actual measurement as well as the vendor’s threshold limits with a True/False flag indicating if any metric has been crossing any of its thresholds. These thresholds are:

  • High Alarm, High Warning, Low Warning and Low Alarm

For every monitored transceiver the processor will provide meta-data information:

  • Vendor Name, Vendor Part Number, Vendor Serial Number, Media Type and Fiber Type
