Viewing Optical Transceiver Diagnostics

Use the Optical Transceiver Diagnostics page to perform tests on Fiber Optic cables. Optical transceiver diagnostics can be performed only when the link is present. Finisar transceivers do not support transmitter fault diagnostic testing. Fiber Optic analysis feature works only on SFPs that support the digital diagnostic standard SFF-872.

To open the Optical Transceiver Diagnostics page, click System Diagnostics Optical Transceiver Diagnostics in the tree view.
