1 Turn the lightwave receiver on. Let it warm up for 30 minutes.
2 Turn on the BERT and the laser and let them warm up according to their
specifications.
3 Perform any calibrations indicated in the documentation for the BERT.
4 Connect a cable from the CLOCK OUT connector on the lightwave receiver to the
clock input connector of the BERT. An adapter may be necessary.
5 Connect a cable from the DATA OUT connector on the lightwave receiver to the
data input connector on the BERT. An adapter may be necessary.
6 Clean the end of the OPTICAL INPUT glass fiber on the lightwave receiver and both
ends of the glass fiber cable. Refer to “Fiber-Optic Connectors” on page 3-8 for
instructions.
7 Connect the optical connector interface to the OPTICAL INPUT. Notice the
connector interface has a small protrusion. This protrusion fits in the slot of the
