TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
8. Take note of the reading on the optical power meter.
This isyour test level.
9. Subtract the reference level found in step 4 from the
test level to find your dB loss for the fiber optic link
segment, i.e., dB loss = Test Level - Reference Level.
10. Verify that the reading on the receive unit matches the
specifications listed in the Fiber Optic Interface
section of Chapter 2.
11. Repeat steps 6-10 for the other strand in the link
segment.
If the fiber optic link segment does not meet the
specifications, try cleaning the connection at each end of
the cable with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth with alcohol,
then repeat the test.
