HST Optical Ethernet Quick Card
The document describes how to test Optical Ethernet links using the HST-3000 and Fiber
Inspection and Cleaning Gear.
1 Proper Method for Cleaning Fibers
Step
Directions
1
Install the correct bulkhead or patch cord tip to the
probe microscope.
Note: Standard Tips require barrel assempbly
2
Insert the probe into the bulkhead or attaché the patch
cord to inspect.
3
Press the Results key to display the results of the scope image
4
Turn the focus control on the probe to focus the image on the display.
5
There should not be any dirt on the image. If there is
dirt, clean the fiber and then reconnect the fiber. If
one is not certain if the fiber is acceptable, clean the
fiber and then repeat this step to ensure there is no
back reflection or unnecessary attenuation on the link.
Pass Fail
6
If needing to clean the fiber, use an IBC cleaner and
remove the tip before cleaning.
7
Insert the IBC cleaner into the bulkhead and patchcord
until you clear a click two times for each piece of gear.

2
8
Repeat steps 1-5 (and possibly 8 and 7) until the fiber appears clean. If you repeat this
procedure three times and the fiber still appears dirty, throw out the fiber as it is likely
scratched.
2 Setup for Testing an Optical Link with the HST-3000
This section describes setup and testing when the location in the field is an optical drop.
Step
Directions
1
The first step is turning the unit on and then
hitting the
home key. Then select the Eth
Optical
tab and select option 1 1G Terminate.
2
The unit will now boot up. Make sure to insert the proper SFP into the R/T 1 slot (top
left of the unit). The proper SFP will be either a 1310nm or 850nm optical SFP
depending on the handoff.
3
The next step is to select Layer 2 Traffic as your Test selection.
4
Now press the configure button on the tester.
Then select
RFC 2544 Mode = Disable and
Auto Negotiation
and depending on the network
select
On or Off (most likely this will be set to
on). Next press the
home key.
5
Now select the Action tab and then select Laser
On
.
6
You should see the screen turn green. If not,
select the
display key and then select the
summary
result pane. Then select the restart
key on the right side.

7
The tester is now ready to receive loop commands or proceed to Quick Testing using
the HST-3000 (Section 3)
3 Quick Testing Using the HST-3000
This section describes how to quickly check an active link exists between two test sets. This test
proves that the link exists and will detect if errors occur. After this section is complete one can
safely run the RFC 2544 test to validate the pipe.
Step
Directions
1
This section continues from section 2 and having setup both ends of the link. If you
have not completed the appropriate section, please do so at this time.
2
Press the configure button. Tap the left and
right arrows until you get to the Summary
Settings Screen.
Then Select:
•Loop Type -> Broadcast
•Tx Payload -> Acterna
•Frame Length -> Random
•Encapsulation -> Most Likely this will
be VLAN tagged though it depends on the
location and network
•VLAN ID and Priority -> Depends on
Network, see work order
•Traffic Load -> again depends on
network, see work order. If unknown enter 1%.
3
Tap the Right arrow until you get the Ethernet Tab. Select Frame Type -> DIX.
Please note that if you are running across a switched service you have to set the
Destination MAC equal to the far end’s Source MAC address on both testsets.
4
Tab right to select the Error Page.
Make sure that
•Error Type -> FCS
•Insertion Type -> Single

4
5
Tap right to select the Ethernet Filter Tab.
Make sure that
Destination Type -> Don’t Care
Source Type -> Don’t Care
Encapsulation -> Don’t Care
Payload Analysis -> On
Rx Payload -> Acterna
6
Next press the home key. Then select Restart.
7
Now to Loop up the far end select the Action
Key, then select
#2 Loop and then Select #1
Loop Up
.
8
You should see a message at the top stating
“Remote Loop Up Successful…”… If you do
not see this message please double
-check your
settings. If the message still does not appear
repeat steps 1
-6 for the far end tester.
9
Now select the Action key and then select Start
Traffic
. Check that the Frame LED on the top of
the unit becomes illuminated.
10
Press the right arrow to see the Link Stats and
ensure that frames are being received (Total Util
% Cur is >0).

5
11
Now press the left arrow to go back to the
summary page. Check that the summary page
remains green. Select the Action button and
select Insert Single FCS Error.
12
Check that the screen has turned red and a
single error has appeared on the screen.
13
Quick test is now complete. Please proceed to the next section RFC 2544 testing.
4 RFC 2544 Testing Using the HST-3000
This section describes how to validate the link between two locations. The output of this test is a
go or no go on the quality of the link and the results can be saved for further analysis. This
section is expected to take approximately 20 minutes for testing.
Step
Directions
1
This section continues from 4.3. If you have not
completed that section, please do so at this time.
If you are ready to proceed, press the
action key
and select
Stop traffic.
2
Press the configure button. Tap the left and
right arrows until you get to the Summary
Settings Screen. Then select RFC 2544 Mode
and press Symmetric.
