How To Do Bi-directional Tests on Single
Fibers
Notes
For bi-directional tests on links with two fibers, Fluke
Networks recommends that you use the SmartLoop
feature. See “Bi-directional SmartLoop Tests” on
page 383.
If a span is defined when you do a bi-directional test,
you can see the results from both ends of the fiber,
but the tester does not calculate averaged bi-
directional results. See item
 in Figure 158 on page
389. To remove the span definition, tap Tools, Span,
then tap Delete.
A bi-directional test gives you OTDR results for both directions on
a fiber. The tester automatically calculates averages of the two
results and includes the averaged values in the test record.
1 On the home screen, tap the Next ID panel.
2 On the CHANGE ID screen, turn off the Auto Save function
and set the End 1/End 2 control to End 1.
3 Enter names for the ends of the fiber (optional):
a. On the CHANGE ID screen, tap the panel that shows End 1:.
b. On the EDIT END NAME screen, tap the End 1 and End 2
panels to use the keyboard to enter names for each end. Tap
DONE to save the names.
4 On the CHANGE ID screen, tap DONE.
5 Clean and inspect all connectors, then connect the tester to
End 1 of the link.
6 Tap TEST or press , then save the result.
7 Clean and inspect the connector for End 2 of the link, then
connect the tester to End 2.
