Troubleshooting questions

• How do I troubleshoot a fiber optic transmission system that doesn't work?
• Using existing fiber in my facility and cannot get my multimode 850  or 1300 nm transmission system to work. What's wrong?
• Using existing fiber in my facility and cannot get my single-mode equipment to work properly. What's wrong?
• If fiber optic equipment is immune from electrical problems, how come an electrical storm can disable a transmission system?
• Do you have field test procedures to verify a unit is working properly?
