Tutorial: Preparing to Save Tests
The tutorial in this section guides you through setting up
the tester to save tests.
Step 1: Creating a List of Sequential Fiber IDs
This step assumes the following scenario:
•
You will be testing 12 cables in two patch panels:
cables 1 through 6 in panel A and cables 1 through 6
in panel B.
•
Both panels are located in telecommunications closet
A on the third floor of the building.
•
Your fiber IDs will follow the ANSI/TIA/EIA-606-A
standard for horizontal links. See “About
ANSI/TIA/EIA-606-A Fiber IDs” on page 2- 25 for
details.

the Job tab.
1-2 On the AUTO SEQUENCE screen, press

Change
Template ; then select Horizontal .
1-3 On the AUTO SEQUENCE screen press

transfer the default pattern into the START ID and
STOP ID .
1-4 On the AUTO SEQUENCE screen press

Edit Stop .
Use the softkeys and
K NML
to change the
default ID to 03A-B06 in the CURRENT START ID box.
Press
s
when you are finished.
1-6 Press
E
Sample List . You should see a list of 12
sequential fiber IDs: 03A-A01 through 03A-B06. If
the tester beeps instead of showing the list, see
“Solving Problems with Fiber ID Lists” on page 2-27.
1-7 Press
e
to leave the sample list.
1-8 Press
s
when you are finished setting up the list.
The list is saved in the mainframe (not on the
