4.3 Loopback-Mode Autotesting
CertiFiber also allows you to run an Autotest
for a single cable. The results will be displayed
in the RX (left) side of the Autotest Results
screen. To perform a loopback autotest, take
these steps:
1. To quickly verify the
optical power loss of a
single fiber, attach one
end to CertiFiber’s TX1
connector and the other
end to the RX2
connector.
2. Press the Autotest key.
The results will be
displayed on the RX
(left) side of the Autotest
Results screen.
NOTE
When running Autotest for a single
fiber cable, only Optical Power Loss
will be measured. Length and Delay
cannot be determined without
connecting two fiber cables.
3. Press F1 (Save) to name
and store the measured
values for the cable with a Job Name, a
Circuit ID, and a time stamp.
