Creating A List Of Sequential Ids - Fluke OF-500-01 OptiFiber Technical Reference Handbook

Creating a List of Sequential IDs

The tester includes templates for creating a list of
sequential fiber IDs. Three of these templates meet the
ANSI/TIA/EIA-606-A standard for documenting cabling
installations, as summarized in the next section. A fourth
template lets you create your own ID pattern.
Letters and numbers in sequential IDs increment from right
to left. Special characters, accented letters, and matching
letters do not increment. For example, the following start
and stop IDs could be used for testing the cabling in two
rooms where each room has three cable drops:
Start ID: ROOM A DROP#1
Stop ID: ROOM B DROP#3
These IDs produce the following ID list:
ROOM A DROP#1
ROOM A DROP#2
ROOM A DROP#3
ROOM B DROP#1
ROOM B DROP#2
ROOM B DROP#3
Getting Started Testing Fiber
To create a list of sequential IDs, do the following:
1 Select AUTO SEQ TEMPLATE from the Job tab in Setup,
A
press Change Template; then select a template.
D
2 Press Default to transfer the pattern to the START
ID and STOP ID.
B
3 Press Edit Start or
appropriate characters into the start and stop IDs. Press
s
when you are finished editing each ID.
4 To preview the list, press
s
5 Press when you are finished.
The sequential ID list is stored in the mainframe (not on the
memory card or in the module).
To use an ID from the list, do the following:
1 Run a test; then press
C
2 Press Auto Seq IDs to select the list. You may need
A
to press Pick ID first.
3 Highlight an ID; then press
