Why am I unable to change dB unit or reference power in Power Meter pane on my EXFO FOT-930 Test Equipment?
If you are unable to change the dB unit or reference power in the Power Meter pane, or if the values you changed are replaced after a while, it is because the power meter is receiving a reference power value from a compatible source. Wait a few seconds until the power value is received, and then try again.
What does it mean when my EXFO Test Equipment shows 'ORL exceeds' during ORL measurement?
If your EXFO Test Equipment shows 'ORL exceeds' during ORL measurement, it means the reflection is below the sensitivity (Max ORL) of the ORL meter. Perform an ORL zero measurement to increase the sensitivity of the detector. Also, ensure the mandrel is correct and that the patchcord and connectors are in good condition.
What should I do if my EXFO FOT-930 Test Equipment displays a message saying that loopback reference was not performed during FASTEST?
If your EXFO Test Equipment displays a message stating that the loopback reference was not performed during FASTEST, it means loopback reference was selected, but not performed (or the reference is outdated). Perform a loopback reference before starting the FASTEST measurement.
How to resolve 'Unable to communicate with an FOT-920 using the talk set' on EXFO FOT-930?
If you are unable to communicate with an FOT-920 using the talk set on your EXFO Test Equipment, it is because the talk sets of the FOT-920 and FOT-930/FTB-3930 are not compatible. Use text messaging instead.
What causes the 'Unable to establish connection with compatible talk set' error on my EXFO Test Equipment?
If you are unable to establish a connection with a compatible talk set on your EXFO Test Equipment, it's likely that Probe mode is activated on the remote unit (FOT-930 only). Deactivate Probe mode to resolve this.
