Displaying OMNIScanner and OMNIRemote Results
OMNI Scanner and OMNI Remote are used together to perform measure-
ments, which allow the scanner to verify installed links or assist in the
diagnosis of physical layer network problems. To accomplish these mea-
surements, OMNI Scanner and OMNI Remote are connected at either end
of a network-cabling link. The end at which the scanner is connected, is
referred to as the ‘Scanner end’, and the end at which the remote unit is
connected, is referred to as the ‘Remote end’.
