Updated software for the SmartOTDR, T-BERD/MTS-2000 and -4000 V2

Posted on

The latest software release includes several usability enhancements, these are the main new functional additions, for more information please see the release notes:

True Bi-directional fiber certification for T-BERD/MTS-2000 V2 and -4000 V2

True bi-directional fiber certification solutions to improve fiber technician efficiency, driving operational excellence with FiberComplete PRO (formerly TestPRO)

TrueBIDIR software option adds real time on-board bi-directional OTDR result analysis (patented)

  • Immediate result allows you to perform corrective actions while you are still on site, reducing future site revisits
  • Improves event location and measurement accuracy
  • Provides greater detail by finding events hidden by uni-directional OTDR testing
  • Gives ‘true’ event loss to immediately assess ‘gainers’ and false negative events
  • No additional post processing effort required

Data exchange via instrument test port and fiber under test (patent pending)

  • Synchronize instruments to eliminate test configuration errors and reduce instrument setup time
  • Eliminate file transfer time and effort with automatic retrieval of test results from remote/far-end instrument
  • No additional communications media required (WiFi connection, Smartphone tethering, USB, etc.)

Avoid site revisits and retests which lead to poor KPI with auto file naming and storage to guarantee correct results pairing for valid bi-directional analysis

Reduce post processing effort with on-board (.pdf) report generation

Remove time, complexity and cost when certifying multi-fiber (MPO) cables, automatic sequence of 12 x FiberComplete (IL, ORL & OTDR) measurements including auto-detection of cable polarity type and cable mapping.

Test Process Automation

Management of FiberComplete workflow into StrataSync, Mobile Tech App and Job Manager

  • Deliver consistent test processes and compliance to methods and procedures
  • Deploy and assign pre-defined, customized test setups and tasks for multiple network topologies, removing burden on the techs to make test config changes in field
  • Enhanced StrataSync KPI analytics with generation of .json results file for FiberComplete PRO tests

DWDM OTDR – 4100 Series

Added support for 25GHz channel grid

FTTH SmartLink Mapper (FTTH-SLM)

Support for more complex PON network architectures with 3 splitter clusters/cascades

Updated Software for the Optimeter (Oct 2021 release)

Posted on
VIAVI have released updated software for the Optimeter, this latest software release includes several usability enhancements, the main enhancements are described below, for more information please see the release notes:

Handle any FTTH last mile architecture with improved test algorithm to accurately verify splitter continuity for all splitter types 1×4 to 1×32

New point to point test mode creates a more versatile instrument for multiple industry applications providing test and in-service troubleshooting capability for any fiber link (up to 60km) including FTTA fronthaul

Easier to understand OptiTrak view with clearer event icons and Pass/Fail indication supported with richer pop up messages and descriptions to avoid any miss-understanding or mistakes in the field:

  • New “Optimeter Connector” icon, event type and details
  • New fiber launch cable indication (2 loops) in link view
  • New “First Connector” icon, event type and details
  • Updated pop-up messages

Greater flexibility for last mile link certification through enhanced alarming criteria that now include link level metrics (Loss and ORL), enabling custom Pass/Fail analysis based on link or element or power measurement results (or combinations of the three)

Improved integration of P5000i fiber scope within the OptiTrak app and file name matching to OptiTrak results

Attention CORE (Free) StrataSync account holders: Test Data Retention limits to be implemented.CORE (Free) StrataSync Accounts are entitled to have Test Data Results retained in StrataSync for a period of 35 days from the time of upload.Test Data older than 35 days is subject to deletion.
Deletion of Test Data older than 35 days from CORE (free) accounts will start to occur in the next 60 days.

If you require retention of test data older than 35 days from time of upload, please contact your VIAVI sales representative, Reseller, or Channel Partner for information about upgrading your StrataSync account to StrataSync PLUS, StrataSync PRO, or higher level of StrataSync account. This will allow a Data Retention duration of 365 days from time of upload.

Thank you,
