Working With Link Results
You can view, at a glance, the pass/fail status of the link, the link length, the
loss and ORL values for the link. The pass/fail status depends on the status
of each value and it will be:
Pass: when each element on the link has a pass status
Fail: when at least one of the element on the link has a fail status
Unknown: when no threshold is configured or a span value (length,
loss, ORL) is not available
In Fault Xplorer and Link Mapper, the application displays a pass/fail status
when custom thresholds are applied.
Since you cannot use custom thresholds in Flash Advisor, the EXFO Advisor
ranks the quality of the results according to the parameters used for the
measurement. The ranking ranges from zero to five stars (half stars are
possible). The same ranking is applied to all wavelengths. If you use the
EXFO Advisor thresholds in Fault Xplorer and Link Mapper, there will be no
pass/fail status displayed either.
