Usually Transponders have following optical parameters to monitor:

Optical power receives.

Normalized optical power receive.

Optical power receive (minimum).

Optical power receive (maximum).

Optical power receive (average).

Differential group delay (average).

Differential group delay (maximum).

Code violations, OTU, near end receive.

Errored seconds, OTU, near end receive.

Severely errored seconds, OTU, near end receive.

Severely errored frame seconds, OTU, near end receive.

FEC corrections, OTU, near end receive.

High correction count seconds, OTU, near end receive.

Pre-FEC BER, OTU, near end receive.
