FTTH-SLM Software option
Principle of FTTH
FTTH-SLM is an OTDR software application that is delivered as an option of the OTDR
module (see references in the
frame as a license key (see the 8000 V2 or 6000A V2 base-unit user manual for the
instructions on license files installation).
FTTH-SLM application brings an FTTH user interface and a specific algorithm for OTDR
measurements, especially through PON splitters (Passive Optical Network).
In a FTTH environment, the OTDR module, associated with the FTTH-SLM application:
•
Selects optimized test parameters to conduct reliable measurements, especially
through optical splitters, and to detect close events near the start (Central Office
splices/ connectors) (OptiPulses Automatic Algorithm).
•
Automatically identifies all network elements such as PON splitter types/ratios
(Discover Mode).
•
Iconically displays a map of OTDR trace results (SmartLink View)
•
Guarantees measurements with automatic PASS/FAIL analysis to ITU-T/IEEE
PON standards or customer-defined specifications.
