4.3 Set Autotest Pref

Autotest is the test mode used most often. The Autotest allows various presettings:

 Automatic saving

 Passed/Failed Rating

1. On start screen of Display handset (DH) select option Preferences.

2. Select option Autotest Pref.

3. Now enter the desired preferences in the opening screen.

NOTE

Please note that Autotest Pref entered by you must be in compliance with the requirements of the

certification to be carried out.

The certification of fiber cabling is usually performed according to TIA-568 or ISO 11801 standards; in

doing so, the passed/failed criterion is based on cable length, number of splices and connections in the

fiber line.

In addition to these criteria, the FiberTEK™ III can also be configured for application-specific fiber tests.

These fiber tests are particular beneficial when determining whether a fiber line supports certain types of

network technology, such as 100BaseSX or 1000BaseLX.

4.3.1 Selection of Fiber Test Standard
