Modifying a Test Configuration

6. Under Identifiers, select the identifiers from the list of available

choices.

Note: Two identifiers cannot have the same name.

7. Under Auto Increment, enable or disable the auto increment option. It

enables the numeric part of the identifiers to be
incremented/decremented after the acquisition has been saved
successfully.

8. Enter the start, stop, and step values for the identifier under Start, Stop,

and Step.

Note: The Step value must be smaller than the difference between the Start and

Stop values. If the Start is greater than the Stop, then the identifier value
begins decrementing by the specified Step.

9. Tap OK to save the changes and close the window, or tap Cancel to

exit without saving.

Tap Revert to Factory Settings to remove all the changes and apply the
default values associated with the selected configuration.

Modifying Link Definition

The Link Definition tab allows you to view and modify the link definition.

The links defined in the Link Definition tab are based on the network
topology. For example, if there are 2 splitters present in the PON network,
you may define two stages of splitter with their respective split ratio. You
may change the IOR value, or change or rename the identifiers according
to the network, which will help you to identify where the measurement is
done in the PON network. The modifications will be applicable for future
acquisitions.

Note: Splitters are available only for PON configurations.
