Cisco Optical Amplifier - EDFA-24 on NCS2002

Hi everyone! First time posting here.

Do you know about EDFA-24 amplifier card in Cisco DWDM environment? I need to understand how does it works, but online there isn't sources that explains how this should be configured. In one Cisco guide about it, i was reading the following:

​

The OPT-EDFA-17 and OPT-EDFA-24 cards have eight optical ports located on the faceplate:

• MON RX is the input monitor port (receive section).

• MON TX is the output monitor port.

• COM RX is the input signal port.

• COM TX is the output signal port (receive section).

• LINE RX is the input signal port (receive section).

• LINE TX is the output signal port.

• OSC RX is the OSC add input port.

• OSC TX is the OSC drop output port

​

Here is the pic of this tiny project: https://imgur.com/a/QvCnyov . As you can see,we have two sites. At the moment we need to build the site with the Cisco 3850. Each 3850 are interconnected to the NCS2002 via one DWDM SFP placed on the Cisco 3850. Then the NCS2002 should amplify the signal with the EDFA-24 card. My question is, how should i have to cabling the fiber through the Cisco 3850 to the EDFA-24 (on which port i mean, COM TX/RX or LINE TX/RX)? And how should i have to configure it on CTC?

​

Thanks so much in advance!
