CONNECT TO LINE UNDER TEST
►For 1G Electrical RJ45 interfaces:
1. Connect the RJ45 jack to the port under
test using CAT 5E or better cable..
►For Multigig Electrical SFP interfaces:
1. Insert desired Multigig Electrical SFP into
the SFP cage on the bottom of the NSC.
2. Connect the SFP to the port under test
using CAT 6A or better cable..
►For Optical Interfaces:
1. Insert desired Optical Transceiver into
the SFP port on the bottom of the NSC.
2. Use the VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe microscope to inspect both sides of every connection
being used (SFP, attenuators, patch cables, bulkheads)
oFocus the fiber on the screen.
oIf it appears dirty, clean the fiber end-face and re-inspect.
oIf it appears clean, run the inspection test.
oIf it fails, clean the fiber and re-run inspection test. Repeat until it passes.
3. Connect the SFP to the port under test using a jumper cable compatible with the line under test..

RUN TEST
1. Press
2. Verify Speed and Autonegotiation settings:
►For 1G RJ45 interfaces, verify the following:
oSpeed is 1 Gbps
oAuto-Negotiation is On.
►For Multigig Electrical SFP interfaces, verify that
Speed and Auto-Negotiation match the port under test.
►For Optical Interfaces, verify the following:
oTx Power is within the limits of the port under test.
oRx Power is within the limits of the SFP in the NSC.
If necessary, insert optical attenuators into the SFP TX
and/or RX ports.
3. When the test completes, verify that all results pass
and that Download and Upload speeds meet or exceed
pass/fail thresholds.
4. Tap to view additional Speedtest Results.
