A single directional fiber cut is occurring between two amplifiers in unidirectional configuration with Raman pump. Multiple services are crossing the affected span. The node(s) that will report an Incoming Payload LOS alarm are both Node A and Node C. An Incoming Payload LOS alarm indicates that there is no or very low signal at the input port of a node. In the exhibit, Node A will report this alarm because it will not receive any signal from Node B due to the fiber cut. Node C will also report this alarm because it will not receive any signal from Node D due to the fiber cut. The Raman pump in Node A does not prevent this alarm, as it only amplifies the signal in the forward direction, not the backward direction. The other options are incorrect because they either ignore one of the nodes that will report the alarm or assume that the Raman pump has an effect on the backward direction.
