When enabled in Smart Remote or Loopback mode, the tester prompts you to swap the test
Bi-Directional
connections halfway through the test. The tester can then make bi-directional measurements for
each fiber at each wavelength (850 nm/1300 nm; 1310 nm/1550 nm).
SETUP > Fiber >
If the selected limit uses a calculated loss limit, enter the number of adapters and splices that will be
Number of Adapters
added to the fiber path after the reference is set. Figure 4 shows an example of how to determine
the Number of Adapters setting.
SETUP > Fiber >
Number of Splices
Only limits that use maximum values for loss per km, loss per connector, and loss per splice use a
calculated limit for overall loss. For example, limits for fiber backbones use a calculated loss limit.
SETUP > Fiber >
Select the type of connector used in the cabling. This setting affects only the diagrams shown for
Connector Type
reference connections. If the cabling's connector type is not listed, use General.
