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
