Setting Up an Autotest
Choosing the Cable Type
Cable from different manufacturers has different transmission
characteristics. The FrameScope 350 compensates for those
differences if you tell it what cable is used on the job. The color
of the cable spool icon indicates multimode (orange) or
singlemode (yellow) fiber.
1 On the Fiber Autotest Settings screen, press the spool icon, then
press Edit. The Cable Setup screen displays.
2 Select the cable manufacturer, and press Next. The Cable Database
screen displays.
3 Select a cable on the list, and press OK. The Fiber Autotest Setup
screen displays, with the selected cable type next to the spool icon. If
you do not see the cable on list, see the next section.
Adding a new cable type
If you have a cable which is not in the cable database, you can
add a new cable description to the database.
1 If the manufacturer is not present, leave the manufacturer as
Unspecified. If the manufacturer is present in the list, select
it, then press Next. The Cable Database screen is displayed.
In either case you will be offered stored descriptions of cable
types. If one of the stored descriptions matches the cable
being tested select it, then press OK.
2 If not highlight Add New Description and press Next.
3 Enter the name to be added to the database and press Next.
