This Technical Publication supports 5400 Packet-Optical Platform (5400)

Release 4.2 software and subsequent maintenance releases for Release 4.2.
Release 4.2 Revision A

Release 4.2 introduces the following new hardware:
the five port WaveLogic-3 nano OTN services line module, OSLM-5-
WL3n, PN 134-5560-900
WaveLogic Enhanced-2.0 CFP2-ACO (analog coherent optics) pluggable
optics module, PN 180-1120-900for use with OSLM-5-WL3n
Release 4.2 adds the following software features:

features related to power usage:
OSLM-2-FLEX3-WL3 and OSLM-5-WL3n Power Engineering Rules.
The OSLM-2-WL3 and OSLM-5-WL3n line modules require a power
distribution unit (PDU) with 70A feeds to support a fully filled chassis.
The line modules could be supported in limited quantities or in lower
power modes by a PDU with 60A feeds and specific engineering rules.
This feature provides the ability to monitor the current draw of these
line modules and implement an early low-voltage shutdown in case of
low-voltage, single-feed, high-temperature operation.
Power Limit Mitigation. In order to meet 60A single feed, low voltage
scenarios with the OSLM-5-WL3n line module, the system has the
capability to disable line modules to prevent the surpassing of the fuse
or breaker limits.
Release 4.2 also adds the following software enhancements:

Fault management is enhanced to cover the OSLM-5-WL3n line module
and the new optics introduced in the release.
The MSLM-Flex has been added to the list of supported line module types
on which line timing can be configured. (JM-4822)

Release 4.2, see System Description (-100).

ATTENTION
As the active CTM switches from A-CTM to C-CTM, the LED under the Active
label should always correspond to the state of the primary CTM.
PTP bar
The PTP bar displays the following information about the selected PTP
independent of the Smart Filter (Smart Filter on page 1-15) setting:
PTP Name - User defined PTP name

Label - User defined PTP label
Service Type - User configured service type
Rx Power - Actual power received
TTP Probable cause - Displays the probable cause
Refresh icon - Refresh data displayed in the PTP bar.
Equipment tree
The equipment tree is located on the left side panel of the Node Manager
window beneath the status bar. The equipment tree identifies the node
hardware, such as the bay, shelf, and line modules. When an object is
selected on the equipment tree, its corresponding information is displayed in
the list frame.
List frame
The list frame provides summary information about the item selected in the
equipment tree. All list frame elements are read-only. To view detailed
information about an object in the list frame, the user selects the object;
information about that object is displayed in the details frame (to deselect an
item, the user presses CTRL and left-clicks the mouse).
To sort objects in the list frame, the user left clicks the column heading. This
sorts the column in ascending order (indicated by a black up arrow in the
column heading). To sort the column in descending order (indicated by a black
down arrow in the column heading), the user left clicks the column heading
again. To unsort objects, the user right-clicks on the column heading.
Filtering the list frame

In some instances, the list frame provides a Filter button. This button provides
specific criteria that can be used to sort items in the list frame. For example,
on the Go > Protection > Line Level > APS/MSP Groups screen, selecting the
Filter command button displays the Set Filter Conditions dialog box (Figure
1-2). Table 1-5 defines the Set Filter Conditions dialog box attributes.

Options
The User Preference Setting dialog box is accessed by selecting the Options
item from the Tools menu, or by entering Ctrl-6. The User Preference Setting
dialog box (Figure 1-3) allows the user to change the Node Manager
environment variables located in the env.txt file. (provides more information.)
The environmental variables (such as login timeout, time zone, default login
user name, and warning level) can be changed through the Node Manager
software while the Node Manager session is open. Environmental variables
are classified in two categories:
HOT variables - changes take effect immediately in the same Node
Manager session.
COLD variables - changes are saved and can take effect only when a new
session is started.
Table 1-6 describes the User Preference Setting dialog attributes and the
environmental variables that are editable.
