FOC
This allows for the “A side” and “B side” test sets to communicate, enabling bi-directional long shot, talk set, and remote screen functionality.
Datalink
Gold's standard for power colors
Red = battery, black = return
This is done at every site, for every deployment, unless specified otherwise per the customer.

This is one of the two most common link state database routing protocols
OSPF or IS-IS

Nashville, TN
This test uses an optical light source and a power meter to measure the span loss independent of the OTDR/AP results
FCOMP
This is the pattern of a straight thru cat5

An EDP that has been edited by the engineer and is used for documentation to produce the As-Built

This is what MPLS stands for
Multi-Protocol Label Switching
A LightRiver initiative to showcase multivendor interoparability. Any transponder on any line system.
Alien Aware
A negative loss
Gainer
For Gold, anything that plugs into the "SW" management devices main ports using this color cat5

OIL Report
LSP stands for this
Label Switched Path
Capable of distinguishing wavelengths without crosstalk. The technical requirement is only that the lasers be of very specific wavelengths nad the wavelengths stable. Current systems offer 4-40+ channels of wavelength.
DWDM
Passive device that allows a specified range of wavelengths to pass through while blocking/attenuating anything outside of that range. This device make it possible to OTDR fiber that has OSC light on it from a previously-installed site.
Band Pass Filter
A temporary Optical Channel used to validate route continuity during Amp Chain Installation
Pilot Wave
The standard documentation process order

Routers use their link state databases to build this
Routing table
100G channelized modulation scheme
PAM4
Standard singlemode fiber cable has a pronounced attenuation increase at 1383 nm. This region is an area within the fiber’s transmission spectrum where light is increasingly absorbed by the hydroxyl (OH-) ions present within the structure of the glass core.

The newest section added to the EDP
Test Recordings
Every router participating in the routing protocol has a link state database. This is the difference between these databases
They are exactly the same on each router
This method of 6500 troubleshooting is most commonly used when a portion of the provisioning that cannot be undone easily must be changed otherwise. This should only be done as a last resort.
