Smart Class 4800/4800P Quick Start
Guide
Thank you for purchasing a Smart Class 4800 or 4800P. This guide provides informa-
tion on how to get started testing with the instrument.
Unpacking and inspecting the components
Before using the instrument for the first time, please inspect the unit and components
to verify that no damage occurred during shipping.
When unpacking the components, verify that all the items you ordered are included in
the package. Accessories may be shipped in a separate box. After you unpack the
components,examine the connectors,ports, LEDs,and screen for damage. Be sure to
check the top, bottom, and front panels. If you find damage, contact Viavi Customer
Care at 1-844-GO-VIAVI ([phone]) or at www.viavisolutions.com. If you don’t
find any damage, consider saving the box and packing materials.

Powering the instrument
Power is supplied by the battery or the AC power adapter provided with the instrument
that was shipped to you.
Turning the instrument on or off
To turn the power on or off:
– Press the ON/OFF key.
If powering up, power key illuminates green.
If powering down, you must press the ON/OFF key for one second. After the confirma-
tion message appears, select Yes to power down. The instrument saves the current
settings and then shuts down. The next power up will return to the last test running.I
Charging the battery
In most instances, the battery charges automatically when you supply power to the unit
using the AC power adapter.
Exploring the Smart Class 4800 and 4800P
The connector panel of the SC 4800 provides the internal connectors and SFP connec-
tors used to connect the instrument to the circuit for testing. After selecting a test appli-
cation, LEDs illuminate indicating which connectors to use for your test. Figure 2 and
Figure 3 on page 3 show the connector panels for SC 4800 and 4800P respectively.
Refer to “Exploring the T-BERD ⁄MTS 5800 and SC 4800“ in the Getting Started Guide
for detailed connector specifications.

NOTE:
Pressing the power button for more than four seconds causes a hard shut-down.
The current settings are not saved. The next power up launches the first available
test.

Test Tabs
The test tabs appear near the top of the Main screen.
Test Status
The test status of the currently selected test is displayed in the upper left. Icons similar
to a DVD or audio player indicate the status: the “Play” icon indicates a test is running;
“Pause”appears whenrunning adelayed-starttimedtest, and“Stop”appearswhen the
test is stopped.
Application Buttons
The buttons located on the right side of the graphical user interface allow access to the
setup screens, restart tests, and perform other functions specific to your test applica-
tion.
The top button (Setup/Results) is used to toggle between the Setup screens and the
Main (Result) screen. When the Main screen is displayed, the Setup button appears;
when the setup screens are displayed, the Results button appears.
A Restart button is also provided which allows you to restart a test (and clear results).
Additional buttons appear when appropriate for the test application you select. For
example, if you select a Layer 4 MultipleStreams Ethernet application, a Toolkit button
is provided which allows you to run a variety of scripts designed to simplify testing.
For descriptions of setup parameters, refer to the testing manual.
Message Bar
The message bar displays the current test application selected on the unit.
Ifyourinstrument is configuredwithtwo portsfora particularrate,thecurrentlyselected
port also appears at the beginning of the message.
Various other messages may appear briefly, for example, to alert you that loop ups are
successful. You can display a log of messages by selecting the message area.
Quick Config Settings
After you select a test application (using the Test menu), Quick Config tabs appear
under the Test Tabs, with key settings required to configure your test. For example, if
you selected the 1GE -> Layer 2 -> Traffic -> Term application, quick configuration
settings appear that allow you to easily select Auto Negotiate, Test Mode, and Frame
Size.

LED Panel
The LEDs in the panel to the left of the Results Windows help you determine whether
a signal is present, pattern synchronization has been achieved, and other key events
when performing tests.
You can collapse and expand an LED panel by tapping the panel name (for example,
Ethernet).
For descriptions of each of the LEDs, refer to the Test Results chapter in the testing
manual that shipped with your instrument.
The round LEDs on the inside column provide the current state of the key event; the
square LEDs on the outside column provide the historical state (in other words, the
event occurred in the past).
Green LEDs indicate an event occurred as expected, yellow LEDs indicate that an
event occurred that warrants additional investigation, and red LEDs indicate that an
error, anomaly, alarm, or defect has occurred.
Actions Panel
After you select a test application (using the Test menu), an Actions Panel appears
under the LED display that provides tabs with the buttons required to perform your test.
The buttons available vary depending on the test application you select. For example,
buttons may appear that allow you to start and stop transmitting Ethernet traffic, and
start and stop a local loopback.
A blinking circle on a tab indicates that some action is required on your part. For
example, if you are running a BERT test, the Actions tab may blink indicating that you
need to start transmitting the BERT pattern.
If you select a test application for an optical rate, a Laser / Tx Signal tab also appears,
with buttons that allow you to select an SFP connector for the test (if appropriate), and
turn the laser on and off.
Results Buttons
Group and Category buttons are provided at the top of each result window. The Group
button on the left allows you to select the type of results you want to observe (for
example, Summary results); the Category button on the right allows you to select a
specific results category for the group you specified. By selecting a different group or
category for each pane, you can view multiple sets of results at the same time.
Results Windows
The test results appear in Result Windows.
Errors are highlighted in red; other results appear in black.

You can change the layout of the Result Windows using options provided on the View
menu. You can also choose to show just test results on the main screen by selecting
View > Show Only Results.
For test result descriptions, refer to the Test Results chapter in the Testing Guide for the
interface you are testing.
