The supplied WireView
TM
wire map adapter is used to confirm end-to-end wire
connections. Using the wire map adapter, you can see cabling shorts, opens, and
mis-wired connections on the Cable Test screen. There is a built-in wire map
adapter port on the top of the analyzer for convenient patch cable testing.
Note
Due to the various manufacturing techniques used by equipment
venders in NICs, hubs and switches, the length shown may be the dis-
tance to a connector or cross-connect that is causing a larger signal
reflection than the end-equipment. Examining the Cable Test |
Twisted-Pair Detail screen shows the actual end-length and
reflection values. This is not an issue with non-terminated (open)
cables.
If you have purchased the optional OptiView Fiber Inspector
product, it can be launched from the Cable Test | Fiber Test screen
by pressing the
button.
Setting Up a Printer
You can add printers through the desktop (Start | Printers and Faxes | Add a
Printer).
Note
By default, a PDF print driver, called “OptiView PDF Printer”, has
been installed and configured to print to file. By default, the PDF file
is saved in the My Documents folder.
Changing the GBIC Module (Pro Gigabit version only)
To remove a GBIC module, press and hold the tabs on the sides of the GBIC
module and pull gently out of the gigabit slot.
To install a GBIC module, make certain the GBIC’s “D” shaped connector is
aligned with the connector in the gigabit slot.
