Certification of Network Installations
OMNI Scanner is designed to efficiently certify cabling installations through
its Autotest feature. Test results, test specifications, and cable types are
organized into Projects. The Project, its test specifications and cable types
are selectable from the OMNI Scanner Project screen.
OMNI Scanner contains a number of predefined projects, grouped by test
standards, to allow easy and fast operation.
The typical order of operations performed when certifying a cable installa-
tion is as follows:
Preparation
Prior to initial certification, perform the following:
1. Run a self-test by setting the reference for OMNI Scanner and OMNI-
Remote periodically, e.g. weekly.
2. Select the appropriate Project, Autotest specification, and Cable type.
Certification
Perform the following for each installed cable to be tested:
3. Attach OMNI Scanner to one end of the link, which is typically at the
patch panel in a wiring closet.
4. Attach OMNI Remote to the corresponding outlet at the other end of the
cable link.
5. Run Autotest.
6. Save test results.
Completion
At the end of the day or shift, the test results are uploaded using Scanlink
Tools software.
Scanlink Tools support the following:
• Upload test results
• Storage of test results to files (Scanlink proprietary format)
