Command to check Optical Light Levels on TenGig Interfaces on ASR 9000V satellite modules

Does anyone know if there is a command to check the Optical TX / RX levels for the TenGig uplink interfaces on Cisco ASR 9000V satellites?  

 

I am aware of the standard command, for example:

show controllers tenGigE 0/0/0/0 phy

 

Or, for example a gigabit interface on a satellite module:

show controllers gigabitEthernet 101/0/0/43 phy

 

However, there does not appear to be a command to show the optical levels on the 4 x SFP+ 10G ports on the ASR9000V Satellite.

 

Can someone please help me?

One way to do it is to telnet to the satellite and execute "sh satellite powerlevels port {all|<port>}".

Aleks is spot on.

Also of note, starting in 5.3.1 we have more visibility into the ICL link (it will show up as interface type nvFabric-TenGigE or nvFabric-GigE.

Thanks very much for your help guys.  I am running version 5.1.3, so I had to use the Telnet option.
 

Since we're using auto-generated IP addresses for the satellite modules, I first had to find out what the addresses were, which I was able to do using:
show nv satellite protocol discovery

After that I found that the Satellites are operating in a system generated VRF name: **nVSatellite

I was then able to Telnet into satellite 201 (for example) as follows:
telnet vrf **nVSatellite 10.0.201.1

Then I used the command provided by Aleksandar:
show satellite powerlevels port all

Works a treat!  Thanks for your help.
