Getting Started
Connecting to the Network
The FrameScope350 uses test probes to connect to the network
you are testing. Follow these steps to connect your unit to the
network:
1Select an appropriate Agilent test probe for your application:
•Select a Channel SmartProbe for testing twisted pair
using patch cords.
•Select a Link SmartProbe for testing twisted pair at
network outlets.
See also “Cable Testing Overview” on page 57.
2Plug the test probe into the SmartProbe port on the top of
the FrameScope.
3Connect the cabling to the SmartProbe. If you are performing
optical cable testing, connect both the input and output
signals. If you are performing optical network testing,
connect an optical-to-copper media converter to the
SmartProbe.
