Working With a Demarcation Section
Working With a Demarcation Section
Note: You can only use this feature with the Fault Xplorer and Link Mapper test
functions.
You can define a demarcation section when you need to validate the loss
over a portion of the link.
You can configure related parameters such as the length and the loss
thresholds.
You can also define the unit's behavior in case it detects the end of the link
before the end of the demarcation section. By default, in this situation, the
unit identifies the last event as a fiber break (Fail). However, you can
modify this setting so that the last event is identified as the actual end of
fiber instead (Pass). This could be particularly useful if you know, for
example, that your link’s end is located within the demarcation section.
Note: The start of the demarcation section always corresponds to the testing
point.
