Through the measurement result of an OTDR, if you put that value in the measured location, OZmap will return the location where the fiber was damaged.
In this first example we will do it from a box, and then we will show how to do it from the POP.
OTDR from a box
When you open the box, on the tools at the top, there are two broken locks with an arrow for the right and one for the left. One means OTDR on the right (wherever it is used) and the other the same, but on the left.
Once you have selected the tool, you now need to click on the fiber you want to apply the distance.
Once you click, a window will be opened asking you to insert the distance measured with the OTDR device.
After you select the distance, a marker will be placed on the map indicating the location.
The OTDR, by default, takes 2D measurements without considering terrain elevation, which can cause certain differences in the field. Therefore, there is the option of considering relief. For this, you need to have a Google API key registered in the system settings, with the "elevation" option active. Contact our support team for more information.
In this example, a marking was made with the OTDR, considering the relief (the upper one), and without relief (the lower one).
When using the OTDR considering the relief, it will also be possible to view an elevation graph of the result obtained. This graph will show the relation between the elevation and the distance traveled by the OTDR, the total elevation gain and loss, and the coordinates of the endpoint. Besides that, you can also check the altitude and distance (from the start point) of each part. of the graph by placing the cursor over it. You can also copy the coordinates and re-center the map around the endpoint.
POP OTDR
By right-clicking on a PON port or any equipment or cable port, it will show a few options, including left and right OTDR.
