2.3 Certification of Network Installations
OMNIScanner is designed to efficiently certify cabling installations through its
Autotest feature. Test results, test specifications, and cable types are organized into
Projects. The Project, its test specifications, and its cable types are selectable from
the OMNIScanner Project screen.
OMNIScanner contains a number a predefined projects, grouped by test
standards to allow easy and fast operation.
The typical order of operations performed when certifying a cable installation is
as follows:
Preparation
Before initial certification, do the following:
1. Run a self-test by setting the reference for OMNIScanner and OmniRemote
periodically—for example, weekly.
2. Select the appropriate Project, Autotest specification, and Cable type.
Certification
Do the following for each installed cable to be tested:
3. Attach OMNIScanner to one end of the link, which is typically at the patch
panel in a wiring closet.
4. Attach OmniRemote to the corresponding outlet at the other end of the cable
link.
5. Run Autotest.
6. Save test results.
Completion
At the end of the day or shift, the test results are uploaded using Scanlink Tools
software.
