Testing  Fibers
The OTDR offers different test modes:
³
Auto: sets all test parameters, performs tests at the specified 
wavelengths, and provides complete results.
³
Fault finder: rapidly locates fiber ends and displays length of the fiber 
under test. This function is available only with the optional FTTx 
software package.
³
Manual (advanced): offers all the tools you need to perform complete 
OTDR tests and measurements manually and gives you control over all 
test parameters.
³
Real time: enables to view sudden changes in the fiber link. In this 
mode, trace is refreshed instead of averaged.
You can start a test from any pane by pressing the Auto Test key. The unit 
will use the current parameters. You can stop a test by pressing the 
Auto Test key one more time.
Your unit may be equipped with two OTDR ports:
³
OTDR SM port: singlemode port to perform conventional OTDR tests 
on dark fibers.
³
OTDR MM port (optional): multimode port to perform conventional 
OTDR tests on dark fibers.
OR
³
OTDR SM Live port (optional): singlemode port with a filtered 
wavelength to perform troubleshooting tests on live fibers.
