Principle of FTTA-SLM
FTTA-SLM is an OTDR software application that is delivered as an option
of the OTDR module (see references in the ordering information section),
and is installed onto the mainframe as a license key (see the 2000/4000
base-unit user manual for the instructions on license files installation).
FTTA-SLM simplifies OTDR testing for cell-tower technicians and elimi-
nates complexities of result interpretation.
In a FTTA environment, the OTDR module, associated with the FTTA-
SLM application, allows to:
–
Characterize and measure the fiber link loss, measure the loss and
reflectance of each passive element, and provide the position for
each one:
Acceptance Testing
–
Locate and identify causes of failure on a fiber link:
Trouble-
shooting / Maintenance
.
Acceptance
Testing
One way to judge installation quality is to use a loopback device (a
retractible/expandable fiber leash cable or a patchcord) on duplex fiber
to test at the junction box or RRU location and shoot with an OTDR from
the BBU or fiber-patch panel location to qualify the entire fiber channel.
