Note
The Autotest in Far End Source mode does not
show a PASS/FAIL result, limit, or margin if the
selected test limit uses fiber length to calculate
loss. An example of such a limit is the TIA-568C
Fiber Backbone limit. The tester does not measure
length in Far End Source mode.
 The settings the tester used for the test.
 The dashed lines are around the connectors and fiber that are
included in the loss and length results. Gray connectors and
fibers are not included because you used them to set the
reference.
 Connector icons show the number you entered for the TOTAL
CONNECTIONS setting on the No. of Connectors/Splices
screen (Figure 78 on page 175). For Figure 90, the TOTAL
CONNECTIONS setting is 1.
 The round icon shows the number of splices entered for the
SPLICES setting on the No. of Connectors/Splices screen.
 To see help for the screen, tap .
 When more than one button shows at the bottom of the screen,
the tester highlights one in yellow to recommend which one to
tap. See “Buttons to Do Tests and Save Results” on page 53.
Bi-Directional Tests
A connector or splice can have a different loss when you measure
from the other end of the fiber. Thus, some manufacturers of
fiber cable and components will not give you warranty support
unless you do bi-directional tests. Do bi-directional tests when
they are required by the manufacturer or by your customer.
The tester can automatically do bi-directional tests in Smart
Remote and Loopback modes. To get bi-directional results in Far
End Source mode, do a test from each end of the fiber.
