Chapter 6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting The best method of preventing ESD events is to use an ESD wrist strap and/or use a grounding mat or table. JDSU recognizes that most field users will not have access to these items at will and therefore cannot have an ideal, ESD-free environment.
Chapter 6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Can I do dual port Dual port testing is an option on the 5802P and 5812P instru- testing from a ments only. On these units, two SFP jacks are provided to single SFP? allow you to insert transceivers for different line rates or wave- lengths without swapping SFPs.
