RUN LINK WIZARD, cont.
STEP 22
Connect the Fiber OWL 4 BOLT to your fiber link as shown in Figure 3.
Press
<F1>
to continue.
STEP 23
Review the end-to-end fiber length. In the example screenshot at right, the end-to-
end fiber length could be within the range of 1000 to 1006 meters.
Press
<F2>
to continue.
STEP 24
The end-to-end length shown here is the length that will be entered into the Link
Wizard configuration.
OPTIONAL:
you may also enter the fiber length manually.
Press
<DONE>
to continue.
NOTE:
Length testing is complete. You may now remove all of the patch cables from the link under test.
STEP 25
Enter the number of connections (i.e. patch panels) in the link under test. Typical fiber
networks will have 2 connections – one for a patch panel located at each end of the link.
Press
<DONE>
to continue.
STEP 26
Enter the number of splices in the link under test. Splices can be either fusion or
mechanical. Typical singlemode networks will have zero splices.
NOTE:
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.
Press
<DONE>
to continue.
STEP 27
Review your Link Wizard setup.
If correct, press
<F1>
and continue on to the next step.
If changes need to be made, press
<F3>
and go back to STEP 17.
STEP 28
Press
<F1>
until the asterisk (
*
) is in front of 1310nm (as shown at right).
Press
<F2>
to begin the SET REFERENCE procedure for 1310nm.
STEP 29
Connect the detector
port on the meter and 1310nm light source (right-hand port)
together with a singlemode cable as shown in Figure 2 (on the reverse side of this page).
Press
<F1>
to continue.
