6 Configuration & calibration
Before setting up and calibrating the FiberPatrol sensor, the installer must ensure the following
steps have been completed:
•
all outdoor components are installed and tested
•
OTDR testing of sensor cable completed successfully
•
lead cable, sensor cable, fusion splices, end modules
•
all indoor components are installed and connected
•
indoor components powered up and operational (system software running)
Initial configuration
The FiberPatrol sensor unit is configured for a DHCP network connection. The Windows Live
Update feature is disabled. The FiberPatrol software and software license are factory installed,
and the FiberPatrol software will auto-start when the sensor unit is powered up. Once the
FiberPatrol software is running, it will restart automatically if it is shut down by the user. When
FiberPatrol is starting, a window displays the time remaining until the software is launched.
Note
Use the FiberPatrol test cable to verify the operation of the sensor unit
before beginning the Initial configuration procedure.
CAUTION
The FP1150 configuration settings should be adjusted only by a factory
trained technician.
Note
The configuration setup and calibration procedures in this section
require the Installer access level. Some of the following procedures
apply only to one type of FiberPatrol configuration (e.g., split). Verify
that a procedure applies to your FiberPatrol configuration before
attempting the procedure (see
for additional
information on the different configurations).
