Caution
If you disconnected the reference test cord from
the source's output, you must set the reference
again to ensure valid measurements.
1
Verify that the settings described in Table 6-1 are
appropriate. Let the tester and source warm up for 5
minutes.

Using Auto Wavelength Detection with SimpliFiber
Sources (OFTM-5731 and OFTM-5732 Modules)
A Fluke Networks SimpliFiber source can transmit
wavelength information that can be read by OFTM-5731
and OFTM-5732 modules. This feature helps eliminate
wavelength selection errors when testing in Far End
Source mode.
To use auto wavelength detection, do the following:
1
Verify that the SimpliFiber source is set to Auto
mode. The Auto LED should be lit. Press
not.
2
Run the Far End Source test, selecting Auto on the
tester's SET SOURCE WAVELENGTH screen.
