CHAPTER 3: Getting Started: Fiber Optic Networks

NOTE

Values measured with OMNIFiber will be compared against the preprogrammed PASS/FAIL limits. OMNIScanner will report independent PASS/FAIL indication for both fibers.

The Autotest Results screen displays the (Length) of multimode fiber at 850 and 1300 nm, or the loss of single-mode fiber at 1310 nm.

OMNIScanner displays the margin in the RESULTS screen. It is the worst case margin for all wavelengths on each fiber in both directions. A positive margin indicates that the measured loss was less than the PASS/FAIL value, a negative margin indicates a fail and shows how much the measurement exceeded the maximum allowable PASS/FAIL amount.

The number of Connections and Splices is displayed at the bottom of the screen (if applicable).

To store the Autotest Result for the fiber listed on the right side, press the (Save) function key located on the right side.

To store the Autotest Result for the fiber listed on the left side, press the (Save) function key located on the left side.
