4A0-265 Questions and Answers

The exhibit shows a conditions list from the 1830 PSS GUI, which displays the alarms and events that occur on the network elements. The total number of alarms reported is equal to the number of rows that have a red or yellow icon in the Severity column, indicating a critical or major alarm. In this case, there are 7 rows with such icons, so the total number of alarms is 7. The number of service affecting alarms is equal to the number of rows that have a “Yes” valuein the Service Affecting column, indicating that the alarm affects the service quality or availability. In this case, there are 5 rows with such values, so the number of service affecting alarms is 5. The number of conditions is equal to the total number of rows in the table, regardless of their severity or service affecting status. In this case, there are 7 rows in the table, so the number of conditions is 7. References : Optical User Guide - Nokia, Security Target Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS)

 The available output optical power range is the same as in question 5, since the EPT Power Management Report refers to the same ingress amplifier with the same settings and parameters. Therefore, the answer is also A, -0.6 to 1.72 dB. References : Nokia Optical Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Course | Nokia, EPT Power Management Report | Nokia

 A Threshold Crossing Alert (TCA) alarm is a type of alarm that indicates that a monitored parameter has crossed a predefined threshold. For example, a TCA alarm can be triggered when the optical power received at a port is too high or too low. The default severity level for a TCA alarm is warning, which means that it does not affect the service but may require attention. The other severity levels are critical, major, and minor, which indicate different degrees of impact and urgency of the alarms. The severity level of a TCA alarm can be changed by the user using the Nokia 1830 Engineering and Planning Tool (EPT) or the Nokia 1350 Optical Management System (OMS). References: Nokia Optical Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Course, Nokia 1830 PSS-32 and PSS-16 Photonic Service Switch Release 8.0 Alarms and Conditions Reference Guide

The command show xc 1 displays a list of cross-connections, including A-end, Z-end, frequency, ID number, OCH trail name, and administrative/operational states. A cross-connection is a logical connection between two ports on an optical network element that allows the transmission of an optical signal from one port to another. The command can be used to view the configuration and status of the cross-connections on a node or a network. The other options are incorrect because they either describe a different command or provide incorrect information. References: Nokia Optical Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Course, OAM and Diagnostics Guide

A passive component in a CDC-F network configuration is the MSH4-FSB Fiber Shuffle Module. This module is used to rearrange the fibers between the CDC-F modules and the wavelength routers, so that each wavelength router can access any of the 96 wavelengths in the C-band. The MSH4-FSB module does not require any power or active components, and it does not perform any optical amplification or switching2. References : Nokia Optical Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Course | Nokia, Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) | Nokia

The command config powermgmt egress 1/2 adjust status is used to enable or disable the power adjustment feature on the specified egress amplifier. The power adjustment feature is a function that automatically adjusts the output power of an amplifier to compensate for changes in the input power or the number of channels. This feature can be enabled or disabled on both ingress and egress amplifiers, depending on the network configuration and requirements1. Therefore, the statement C is true. References : Nokia Optical Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Course | Nokia

The recommended order for the troubleshooting steps is B, as follows:

• Retrieve the channel power trace. This step is useful to identify the affected channel and its power level, as well as to check if there are any fluctuations or anomalies in the power trace that could indicate a channel absent issue1.
• Retrieve the cross-connection (XC) details and see what Wave Keys should be present. This step is necessary to verify which Wave Keys are expected to be present on the node, card, and port based on the XC configuration2. Wave Keys are unique identifiers for wavelength tracking that are encoded by Optical Transponders (OTs) into each service wavelength direction3.
• Go to the suspected troubled node / card / port and look at Wave Keys (in / out). This step is helpful to compare the observed Wave Keys with the expected Wave Keys, and to locate the source of the problem. If a Wave Key is missing or mismatched, it means that there is a channel absent issue on that node, card, or port4.
• Check observed Wave Keys against expected Wave Keys. This step is the final solution to resolve the issue and restore the normal operation of the node. The observed Wave Keys should match the expected Wave Keys based on the XC configuration. If not, the XC configuration should be corrected or the faulty node, card, or port should be replaced5. References : Nokia Optical Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Course | Nokia, Optical User Guide - Nokia, Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-8 and PSS-16 Photonic Service Switch
