Introducing the intelligent

Optical Link Mapper

The intelligent Optical Link Mapper (iOLM) is an optimized application for
access/FTTx network characterization. Depending on the iOLM module
configuration, the application can be used before and after network
activation.

The iOLM module can be equipped optionally with an inline power meter.
The power meter is called inline because the acquisition is done using the
SM live port used for iOLM measurements. Optionally, you can measure the
power levels for two wavelengths in a single acquisition, if two
wavelengths are used for testing.

Note: Your screen display may differ slightly from the figures in this user

documentation depending on the platform you are using.

Note: Depending on the model and options you have purchased, some features

may not be available.

Note: In this documentation, the words “tap” and “double-tap” (related to the

use of a touchscreen) replace the words “click” and “double-click”.
