Adapter Insertion Counts - JDS Uniphase Certifier40G Manual

The channel link model is used to certify a complete channel
including the patch cords used in the work area. In this
model, the connector in the tester is the point of reference
and the entire channel including the workspace cabling is
certified.
The tester automatically detects which adapters are installed
in the local and remote units and selects matching test
parameters.
To connect the tester to a cable run:
1. Select the correct adapter for the type of cabling link
to be certified, either permanent link configuration, or
channel link configuration testing
2. Insert matching adapters in the bays at the top of the
units.
3. Connect the adapters to the ends of the cable run
being tested.

3.4.1 Adapter Insertion Counts

Every Certifier40G adapter contains a memory chip that
keeps track of how many tests have been performed with the
respective adapter. This data is helpful in determining when
the adapter is reaching the end of its useful life. Certifier40G
will show a warning whenever the adapter insertion counts
has expired the specified life time insertion counts.
CAUTION
Never connect any Certifier40G to a voltage
source such as a telephone jack. Excessive
voltage will damage the units and the adapter
and void the warranty.
