CHAPTER 13: Talk and Test Modules for the SCAN-LAN VI
13. Talk and Test Modules
for the SCAN-LAN VI
13.1 Introduction
The Talk and Test Module for the SCAN-LAN VI certifies multimode fiber pairs by
comparing bi-directional dual-wavelength 850/1300-nm loss, length, and propag-
ation delay measurements against several industry standards. The Talk and Test
Module also provides interpretation-free pass/fail results. And these modules take
advantage of the SCAN-LAN VI’s integrated 2-way talk set, permitting operators
at opposite ends of the fiberoptic link to communicate without dependency on
2-way radios.
The Talk and Test Module complies with the requirements of TIA 568A, ISO
11801, and provides pass/fail determination for a variety of fiber applications. The
Test and Talk Module uses a link-loss budget calculation as part of the pass/fail
determination.
The SCAN-LAN VI cable tester can save up to 800 fiber-pair test records. These
reports can then be uploaded to a PC using RMS (Report Manager Software),
provided free of charge with the SCAN-LAN VI.
13.2 Installing the Talk and Test Module
Turn off power to the SCAN-LAN VI before adding or changing modules.
To remove a module, loosen the thumbscrews at either side of the module until
the screws are free of the retainers. Hold the module on either side and slide it out
of the opening. To install a module, slide it into the opening until the screws rest
against the retainers, then hand-tighten the screws until the module is properly
seated.
