EXFO FTB-Lite
Has anyone out there had a chance to try the new FTB-Lite platform from EXFO? They seem like nice machines, I like the new Linux OS and seamless integration with EXFO Exchange.
I have one problem with them however; On the old FTB machines (e.g. FTB-1) there was an option when choosing your test parameters to select whether you were testing A-B or B-A so that you could collect and compile a BiDirectional test report in FastReporter.
I am struggling to find a way to replicate that function with this new unit. Spoke with EXFO customer support, and with some reps at the ITA Showcase convention in Portland earlier this year and they told me a big software update was coming in June/July that would bring a lot of features that were left out at initial launch of these back in March. I have updated my unit, but still am not seeing an option to switch which direction you are testing a given fiber from to produce A-B and B-A test files and provide my customers with BiDi reports.
Hoping perhaps somebody here has gone through this already and can lend advice?
