Bi-Directional Tests
207
In Smart Remote mode, the tester saves bi-directional results in
two records. Each record contains the results for one fiber for
both directions.
To do a bi-directional test
Note
When you make connections for a bi-directional
test in Smart Remote mode, connect the fiber that
has the Input Fiber ID to the main tester’s OUTPUT
port, and the fiber that has the Output Fiber ID to
the main tester’s INPUT port. Halfway through the
test, you will switch the connections.
1 On the home screen, tap the test setup panel, make sure the
correct test is selected on the CHANGE TEST screen, then tap
EDIT.
2 On the TEST SETUP screen, in the Bi-Directional panel, tap the
control to make it show On, then tap SAVE.
3 Do an Autotest.
4 Halfway through the test, the tester tells you to switch the
input and output fibers.

Caution
Switch the connections at both ends of the patch
panel or fiber under test, not at the tester's and
remote’s ports. If you disconnect a test reference
cord from an output port on the tester or remote,
the reference value will be unreliable.
Note
The directions Main>Remote (main to remote)
and Remote>Main (remote to main) in the bi-
directional results are only the directions of the
optical signals for the second half of the test. If a
fiber fails, the direction does not tell you the
location of the problem.
