Every Project has certain Autotests and
cables assigned already. These associated
lists will appear in the drop-down lists for each
item. If the Autotest or Cable you want to use
is not in a drop-down list, open (Setup) to select the appropriate
item. (See Chapter 3 - Setup: Autotest, Cable, or Project for further
information.)
Note: When using an Autotest or a cable that was selected from a Setup
menu and not from a predefined drop-down list, the Autotest or cable will
not be stored within the project.

(See Chapter 8 - Fiber Optic Autotests for information on running, saving,
and viewing Fiber Optic Autotests.)

you are testing and connect

verify that OMNI Remote is
