Running a Fiber Autotest
Some Autotests do not have a fixed loss limit. The Optical Link Budget
(OLB) is calculated based on the wavelength, the length of the cable, and
the number of connectors and splices.
OMNI Scanner will automatically display the CONNECTIONS screen if you
are running an equation based Autotest (TIA 568A, ISO 11801, or 1000
Base F).
1. With the Connections: field highlighted, press
ENTER. Use the é or ê arrow key to adjust the
number of connections in your link. To determine
the total number of connections, simply count all
of the connections (connector pairs) on one fiber.
OMNI Scanner will assume that both fibers of a
duplex link have the same number of connec-
tions.
2. To change the number of Splices, use the ê to highlight the field and
press ENTER. Use the é or ê arrow key to adjust the number of splices in
your link. To determine the total number of splices, simply count all of the
splices on one fiber. OMNI Scanner will assume that both fibers of a duplex
link have the same amount of splices.
3. After editing the fields, press to run the Autotest.
OMNI Scanner starts the Autotest after the number of connections and
splices has been entered.
Note: If you are running a Two Way test, you will
be prompted to swap the fibers. (See Chapter 4 -
Setup: Fiber Test Options for further informa-
tion.)
4. Swap the Launch Cable’s connectors as
indicated in the graphic. Do not disconnect the
Launch Cables from the OMNI Fiber !
5. Press to complete the Autotest.
