Bi-directional Tests
Do bi-directional tests when they are required by the
manufacturer or by your customer.
The tester can automatically do bi-directional tests in Smart
Remote and Loopback modes. To get bi-directional results in Far
End Source mode, do a test from each end of the fiber.
In Smart Remote mode, the tester saves bi-directional results in
two records. Each record contains the results for one fiber for
both directions.
To do a bi-directional test
Note
When you make connections for a bi-directional
test in Smart Remote mode, connect the fiber that
has the Input Fiber ID to the main tester’s OUTPUT
port, and the fiber that has the Output Fiber ID to
the main tester’s INPUT port. Halfway through the
test, you will switch the connections.
