OTDR Software Options

• A CD containing TRM 2.0 is included with every OTDR. The CD jacket has a sticker with a license

activation key for TRM Basic Software (OTDR Trace/OLTS viewer, Batch Editor, and Reports). The

activation key is good for up to ve fulllments to allow multiple PCs to run TRM 2.0 Basic.

The multiple fulllments also allows a user to activate TRM 2.0 Basic when changing to a new

PC. Once the ve fulllments have been used for a license key, the user must purchase a new

license, which will provide a new activation key good for ve fulllments.

• To install TRM Basic on additional PCs, additional licenses of TRM Basic Software may be

purchased by ordering part number TRM-00-0900PR.

• A single license version of TRM Advanced Software (incudes TRM Basic plus Advanced Analysis

for PC) is included with every M710 OTDR. If additional licenses needed, they may be purchased

by ordering part number TRM-00-0910PR.

• To upgrade from TRM Basic to TRM Advanced software a single license version may be

purchased by ordering part number TRM-00-0920PR.

The M710 OTDRs utilize AFL’s industry leading TruEvent technology to provide a new level of

accuracy and reliability in event analysis. Events on a ber include connectors, splices, optical

splitters and macro-bends. To accurately locate an event, OTDRs need to nd its location, identify

event type, measure reectivity and loss. AFL’s M710 OTDR with TruEvent technology provides

better baseline documentation of ber links and enables the user to troubleshoot faulty networks

more effectively.

DFS1 Digital FiberScope

TRM®(Test Results Manager) Trace Analysis and Reporting PC Software

TruEvent®Event Analysis Technology

DFS1 software and license comes standard with OTDR.

DFS1 Digital FiberScope is an optional accessory.

LinkMap®with Pass/Fail

The M710 LinkMap with Pass/Fail enables even novice users to easily and accurately troubleshoot

optical networks. LinkMap presents an icon-based view of the tested network clearly identifying

ber start, end, connectors, splices and macro-bends. A LinkMap Summary provides end-to-end link

length, loss, and ORL. Loss and reectance of detected events is compared to industry-standard or

user-settable pass/fail thresholds and displayed with clear pass/fail indications.
