Understanding write-protected configurations

If you indicate that you want to save a configuration (setup) as read-only, the following
occurs:
• Any custom result categories defined for the configuration are also protected.
• The configuration can not be deleted using the Delete All button.
• The configuration can be deleted using the Delete button.
• When you import a read-only configuration file onto your instrument, the instru-
ment will retain the read-only permissions. Any custom categories defined for the
configuration will also be imported.

Step 3: Connecting the instrument to the circuit

For detailed instructions on connecting your instrument to the circuit, refer to the appro-
priate testing manual for the circuit you are testing. Basic instructions are provided in
Chapter 3 "Getting Started"
When connecting the unit to optical circuits, bear in mind that applied power must not
exceed the power level specified on the panel for each optical connector.

Step 4: Starting the test

After you configure a test and connect the unit to the circuit, the following occurs:
• If you are running a PDH, or classic SONET or SDH application, and you are
testing an optical circuit, you must turn the laser ON. The test starts automatically,
and test results immediately accumulate.
