Running the Autotest in Far End Source Mode
Caution
If the patch cord has been disconnected from
the smart remote’s output since the reference
was set, you must set the reference again to
ensure valid measurements.
1 Turn on the tester and smart remote and let them sit
for 5 minutes. Allow additional time if the fiber
modules have been stored above or below room
temperature. For other sources, warm up according
to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
2 Verify that the settings described in Table 5-2 are
appropriate. Clean the connectors on the cabling to
be tested.
3 Connect the tester to the cabling as shown in Figure
5-16.
4 Verify the source is set to the correct wavelength.
To set the wavelength on a DTX-MFM/SFM module
used as a source, hold down the button on the smart
remote’s fiber module for 3 seconds. This turns on
the output port at 850 nm (DTX-MFM) or 1310 nm
(DTX-SFM). Press again to switch to 1300 nm or
1550 nm.
The LED is red for 850 nm and 1310 nm and green
for 1300 nm and 1550 nm.
For other sources, verify the output is set to the
correct wavelength and is in continuous-wave mode.
5 Turn the rotary switch to Autotest. Verify that the
media type is set to Fiber. Press
J Change Media
to change it if necessary.
