Enter the number of connections (i.e. patch panels) in the link under test, then press
to
continue.
Enter the number of splices in the link under test, then press
to continue. Splices can be
either fusion or mechanical. Typical multimode networks will have zero splices.
Review your Link Wizard setup.
If correct, press
to continue on to the next step.
If changes need to be made, press

Press
until the asterisk (
*
) is in front of 850nm (as shown at right), then press
to begin
the SET REFERENCE procedure for 850nm.
Connect the Fiber OWL 4 detector port and the 850nm light source (left-hand port) together with
the mandrel-wrapped cable as shown in Figure 4, then press
to continue.
Make sure that the 850nm light source port is powered ON and selected (the indicator LED on the
left-hand side will be lit).
Confirm setting the 850nm reference by pressing
to continue. You will be returned to the
SET SOURCE REFERENCES screen.
For setting a 1300nm reference, repeat steps
through
, except you will select 1300nm
(as shown at right). Also, make sure that the Dual OWL is set to 1300nm (the right-hand indicator LED will be lit).
After the 1300nm reference is set, the REF dBm field will be filled in with a reference value.
Press
to complete the Link Wizard.
Press
to begin taking readings.
Typical fiber networks will have 2 connections – one for a patch panel located at each
end of the link.
some connectors use mechanical splice technology for termination. If the link under
test is terminated with these “no-polish, no-epoxy” type connectors, they should be considered as
mechanical splices.
if you are also testing at 1300nm, you will need to connect a separate mandrel-wrapped
patch cable to the 1300nm port.
