Introduction
Industry leading 2.4T in 1RU
Waveserver Ai leads the field with 2.4T/RU density
• Built with WaveLogic Ai coherent technology 2.4T of client 100GE + 2.4T of line capacity
• Industry leading 400G per line to minimize cost/bit Line Ports QSFP28
• Provides 200G to 400G in 100G increments and the
ability to maximize capacity for any distance
• 200G, 300G, or 400G per wavelength at 1RU
56.8Gbaud
• Key benefits Three pluggable Waveserver modules with Management
• Lower cost per bit 2 modems per module + 8x100GE clients Ports

Management and Operations Summary
* Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), provides IPv4 link local addressing (e.g., address block
169.254.0.0/16) if a manually configured IPv4 address is not present and/or the DHCPv4 client has failed
to get an address from a DHCPv4 server.

Fault*
o DCN communications:
- If the WS connected to DCN is warm restarted, management access to this chassis is unavailable until the initialization is complete.
However, there is no impact to any Waveserver chassis on the ILAN network connected to the restarted chassis.
- Similarly, if a Waveserver in the middle of the ILAN network is warm restarted, there is no impact to other Waveservers downstream
from the rebooted Waveserver chassis
Note: During a cold restart, there is short outage to downstream Waveservers in ILAN configuration as the IAN connectivity is reset and initialized.

Waveserver Ai Feature Description
Facility Loopbacks
• Facility loopback testing is supported on the Line and Client Ports:
o An Rx loopback test forwards ingress traffic from an Rx port directly to a Tx port (i.e., toward the fiber)
o A Tx loopback test forwards egress traffic from a Tx port directly to an Rx port (i.e., back toward the Waveserver)
• Lamp-flash allows you to identify a port or a Waveserver Ai box by remotely, flashing all LEDs or a
subset of LEDs for a specified amount of time.
• Using command line commands, you can enable lamp flash for the LEDs on :
o the whole chassis – both front (pluggable traffic modules, AP, pluggables) and back (power and
fan modules)
o all ports on the specific pluggable traffic module
Note: The Lamp-flash settings are not saved in the configuration file, so they are not retained on restart.
