This document describes the optical amplifier command set (OACS), for use in communicating with and controlling intelligent optical amplifiers. These amplifiers can receive and possibly respond to such commands by using resident firmware or may be optical amplifiers controlled by a microprocessor. This document addresses the structure and content of the command set to control optical amplifiers. It does not cover the physical or hardware interface, which is assumed to exist for communication of this command set to the optical amplifier. The specification of a physical interface is left to a separate document to be developed in the IEC 61291-6 series. The command set described in this document is intended to enable a user or host to retrieve the amplifier module's status and/or adjust its settings. This document lists all of the commands currently defined and supported within the OACS framework. The commands described in this document cover a wide range of applications, and not all commands will be applicable to every amplifier. To determine the supported commands on an OACS compliant amplifier, please refer to the manufacturer supplied product specification. All OACS compliant amplifiers shall support the full set of "universal" OACS commands. Other commands, usually specific to a design or implementation, may support some or all of the "optional" commands.
