Chapter 1 - Introduction
TheDigital Solution forFiberandCopper
OMNI
Scanner
isthemostadvanced hand-held certificationanddiagnostic
tool for the verification of copper links. The Category 7, 6, 5E (Enhanced),
5 and ISO Class F, E, D, and C tester has an extended frequency range of
300 MHz. OMNI
Scanner
provides full software compliance with TIA and
ISO/IEC requirements for measurement reporting and analysis (including
Length, Delay, ACR, NEXT, ELFEXT, Return Loss, Resistance, PSNEXT,
PSACR, PSELFEXT and Attenuation). In addition, OMNIScanner mea-
sures Length, Delay, Impedance, and Resistance on coaxial cabling.
OMNI
Fiber
MM(multimode)and OMNI
Fiber
SM(single-mode)expand the
tester’s capabilities to certify installed fiber links against TIA and ISO
standards.Fibercablingcanbeverifiedat 850, 1300, 1310, and 1550 nm
wavelengths.
TheGraphicalUserInterface
OMNI
Scanner
’s graphical user interface consists of a backlit LCD display,
quick access menus, arrow keys, and descriptive menu options that guide
you through certifying or troubleshooting cabling systems.
OMNIRemote
For test and certification of twisted pair cabling, the OMNI
Scanner
requires
the OMNI
Remote
unit at the opposite end of the cabling link under test.
OMNI
Scanner
communicateswithOMNI
Remote
toobtainstatusand
perform measurements from both ends of the link.
OMNI
Remote
is equipped with a speaker to generate tones, and several
colored LEDs to indicate overall test results and status.

ScanlinkTM Tools Software
PC-based software expands OMNI
Scanner’s
user interface and aids with
the management of projects. Scanlink Tools consist of the OMNIScanner
Configuration software, the Scanlink Upload software, and the OMNI-
Scanner Remote Control software. These programs allow you to store,
retrieve, manage, edit and print network cabling information. Scanlink Tools
provide the ability to create professional reports, remote control OMNI-
