Network Certification
The WireScope 350 can certify cabling for compliance with the physical
medium dependent (PMD) requirements of popular network interface
technologies such as Ethernet or ATM. Network certification can be in addition
to certification to cabling limits.
A pass result for a particular networking technology indicates that the tested
cable run meets the loss and length requirements necessary to successfully
support communications between devices of that type.
To add network certification into the autotest, select Network Limits from the
list of autotest settings and press or the
Edit
button to open the Fiber
Networks Setup configuration screens.
Check the boxes corresponding to the network types you wish to certify the
cabling for. The “Other” Category encompasses a number of less popular legacy
applications. When you are finished, press
or OK to return to the Fiber
Autotest Settings screen.
Site Settings
The WireScope 350 can store the site name in each test result record. This
capability helps organize test records and simplifies reporting. A site setting
specifies the format used to label test records for that site. You can save either:
· A simple cable label with only one field (i.e. “cable number”)
· A hierarchical cable label that contains multiple fields (i.e.
“Building / Floor / Wall Plate / Jack Number”)
