Quick Start Guide
Performing AutoTest
To perform an autotest hit on the Autotest button. The test will
automatically start,if the test setting match the conguration of set
reference stored. If the reference setting does not exist, it will prompt you
to perform set reference.
Viewing Results
Once the autotest is complete the summary results are
displayed on the device both local and remote. Click on the wavelength
to see its detailed results.
Exporting Test Results
For exporting Fiber test results stored in the device a USB ash drive is
required. When the ash drive is inserted into WireXpert the screen will
pop-up. Click on the copy Test Records to USB ash drive option and the
test results are automatically copied.
Once the results are copied on to the USB ash drive, plug the ash
drive into a PC and open the ReportXpert application. Import the Fiber
results into the ReportXpert application from the USB ash drive.
Once imported, the test results can be viewed on the PC.
PDF reports can be generated along with the copper test
results using the ReportXpert software.
Most of the standards like TIA 942-A have now removed the maximum
length requirement on the link. However, WireXpert allows you to
congure the length limit to determine the PASS/FAIL criteria of an autotest.
Set it to a big number should you feel the limit unnecessary.
The WireXpert optical testing solution is available for single-mode and
multi-mode certication as sepearate kits. The Single-mode kit allows
Tier1 certication on two wavelengths simultaneously, at 1310nm and
1550nm. Multi-mode performs Tier1 certication at 850nm and 1300 nm.
The kit ships with the adapters and reference cords for launch and
tail cords. The Multi-mode kit ships with a pair of mandrels. Encircled
Flux mode conditioners are available as an orderable option.

The Single-mode and Multi-mode adapters come
with two ports one for Receive and one for
Transmit. They are marked appropriately on
the top of the adapter.

Limit and Connectors Setting
WireXpert supports all congurations specied in TIA and
ISO standards for Fiber certication. You can congure Set Reference
from the SETUP menu and under Test Settings tab. Select Single-Direction
or Bi-Directional setting for the autotest. Followed by selection of
loopback or remote unit, and the type of reference(one-jumper,
two-jumper, three-jumper). For details of one-jumper, two-jumper
and three-jumper methods, please refer to users manual.

Choose Single Direction unless you have a specic need to perform
bi-directional testing. In a single Directional measurement, the loss in
each ber is measured in one direction only. As shown in the gure
above, the loss is measured only from Local to Remote on Fiber1
and Remote to Local direction in Fiber2.
In the case of a Bi-Directional measurement, the loss in each Fiber is
measured in both directions from Local and Remote units. This test
requires you to swap the ber connections in the middle of autotest.
Please don’t swap connections for Setting Reference, just continue both
the steps retaining the connections.
Before performing autotest, the appropriate limits need to be selected for
testing. If either TIA or ISO limits are selected the PASS/FAIL criteria is
determined by the loss limit specied in the standard. In the case of TIA it is
TIA 568 C.3 and if it is ISO, it is ISO 14763-3 standard.
Link Validation limit allows you to set end-end loss irrespective of the
conguration such as number of connectors or splices. The test result
is determined by the customized loss value congured.
Congure the number of splices and connectors in the link under test.
In the case of a TIA/ISO limit selection, the limit is calculated based on the
congured number of connectors and splices. Please exclude the
connectors in Set Reference.The maximum allowable loss for a connector
is 0.75 dB according to both the standards. Nevertheless,WireXpert allows
you to set more stringent standards for connector loss should you require.
This conguration allows selection between loopback testing or using
remote unit to perform autotest. In the case of loopback setting, connect a
short patch cord at the remote end to provide the loopback.
After setting up the conguring set reference, perform setting reference
from the TOOLS menu and clicking on SetReference button.
Use a Reference cord shipped with the kit to perform Reference setting.
The length and loss of the reference cord determine the quality of reference
set.

Note 1: WireXpert prompts an error during autotest if the reference setting
for the corresponding conguration is not performed before running the
autotest.
Note 2: WireXpert also veries the quality of reference setting and will warn you
and not allow to complete reference setting if it detects high loss or long patch
cords. Always use the reference cords shipped with the kit.
