TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter lists procedures to test the FOT-F3 after it is
connected to the network. A description of LANVIEW and its
function in troubleshooting physical layer network problems is
also provided.
4.1 INSTALLATION CHECK-OUT
This section contains procedures to test the following
• The fiber optic link segment to be attached to the FOT-F3.
• The FOT-F3 after it has been installed to ensure that the
physical layer of the network is operating properly.
4.1.1 Testing the Fiber Optic Link Segment
Test the segment being attached to the FOT-F3 to verify that the
cable meets the fiber budget specifications discussed in
Chapter 2. Using a fiber optic power meter set, test your link
segment as follows:
1. Attach a fiber optic jumper to the optical power meter. The
meter should be set at 1300 nm.
2. Attach a fiber optic jumper to the optical source unit. If the
source unit has multiple settings, it should be set at
1300 nm.
3. Using a barrel connector, connect the jumpers together.
