Bi-Directional Testing
To test cabling in both directions and save the bi-directional
results:
1 In Setup, enter names for End 1 and End 2 to identify
the ends of the cabling. Name End 1 as the end you will
test first.
2 Set This End to End 1.
3 Test all the cabling and save the results from End 1.
4 In Setup, change This End to End 2.
5 Test the cabling from the other end. When you save
each result, use the same fiber ID you used for the
results from the first end.
Note
You can do bi-directional averaging in LinkWare
software. See the LinkWare online help for details.
