nbsSigLaneLaneBiasAmpsLevel

Module: NBS-SIGLANE-MIB

OID (symbolic): NBS-SIGLANE-MIB::nbsSigLaneLaneBiasAmpsLevel

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.236.20.1.1.40

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: This object indicates the status of laser bias current, as reported in nbsSigLaneLaneBiasAmps:

notSupported(1), if (nbsSigLaneLaneBiasAmps = -1);

lowAlarm(2), if below nbsSigLanePortBiasAmpsVendorMin;

ok(4), if within the recommended operating range;

highAlarm(6), if above nbsSigLanePortBiasAmpsVendorMax.

What is nbsSigLaneLaneBiasAmpsLevel?

This value indicates the alarm status of this lane's laser bias current, reported in nbsSigLaneLaneBiasAmps, relative to vendor-defined minimum and maximum thresholds. Admins watch it because a rising bias current close to highAlarm often signals laser aging, giving early warning before the transmitter fails outright. For example, a status of highAlarm(6) on a lane suggests its laser diode is drawing abnormally high current and may need replacement soon.
