Chapter 2 Safety information
Battery and AC/DC safety information
Battery and AC/DC safety information
•The Li-Polymer battery is designed for maximum safety.
In particular, each cell is provided with a safety valve to prevent excessive
internal pressure in the event of overcharging or exposure to very high
temperatures.
•Battery supplied by Viavi incorporate protection means.
Do not use any mains adaptor or battery other than those supplied with the
instrument, or supplied by Viavi as an option for this instrument.
If another adapter or battery is used, it may damage the 2000 Platform
itself.
Using the 2000 Platform with a battery other than the one supplied by the
manufacturer of the 2000 Platform may entail risks of fire or explosion.
The battery may explode, leak or catch fire:
– if it is exposed to high temperature or fire
– if it is opened or dismantled.
Other basic safety precautions are as follows:
•Do not use AC/Adapter/Charger outdoors or in wet or damp locations
•Connect the AC/Adapter/Charger to the correct mains voltage, as
indicated on the ratings label.
•Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not locate the
product where people can walk on the power cord.
•Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric chock from lightning.
•Do not use this product in the vicinity of a gas leak or in any explosive
environment.

Precautions relating to optical connections
•Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous, high voltage points
and other hazards. Contact qualified service personnel for all service.
Precautions relating to optical connections
•The normal operating life of an optical connector is usually of the
order of a few hundred manipulations. It is then advisable to manipulate the optical connections of the Platform as rarely as possible.
•The proper operation of the instrument and its accuracy of measurement are dependent on the cleanliness of the environment and the
optical connectors as well as the care taken in its manipulation.
•The optical connectors must therefore be clean and dust-free. If the
optical connection is not being used, protect the connections of 2000
Platform using the protective caps.
Laser Safety instructions
The provisions contained in two standards define the safety procedures to
be observed both by users and by manufacturers when utilizing laser products:
•EN 60825-1: 2001 - Safety of laser products – Part 1: Classification
of products, requirements and user guidelines.
Due to the range of possible wavelengths, power values and injection characteristics of a laser beam, the risks inherent in its usage vary. The laser
classes form groups representing different safety thresholds.

Establishing connection
The connection between 2000 Platform and the PC can be done directly,
or via a local network.
The transfer of the interface can be done using a VNC window on PC.
For an intensive use of the deport screen or when it is
used via a WAN network, it is strongly recommended
to use a dedicated VNC client. The VNC clients recommended are Tight VNC (V 1.2.9 or later) and Real VNC
(V 4.1.1 or later).
Connecting the 2000 Platform and the PC
1Connect the 2000 Platform to the PC via an Ethernet cable, using the
RJ45 connectors set on both equipments.

Configuring and synchronizing the 2000 Platform
Pre-requisites for using the Stratasync with the 2000
Platform
The user must have subscribed to Stratasync, and by consequence, he
must have acquired an account Identifier and a password.
The Ethernet and Proxy parameters must have been correctly configured
in the System Settings page of the 2000 Platform (see “Ethernet > Mode”
on page 67 and “Proxy > Use proxy” on page 68).
Configuring and synchronizing the 2000
Platform
The 2000 Platform can be configured to be synchronized with the Stratasync.
1Press Settings in the Home page
2Check the configuration of the Ethernet and Proxy parameters.
3Configure the Stratasync parameters:
aIn the Server Type parameter, the Viavi Server is selected by
default and it is recommended to keep this parameter.
However, the user can select if necessary the Server Name
parameter and enter the name in the following parameter.
bIn the Account ID parameter, enter the same identifier as the
one used to access to Stratasync.
cThe Technician ID parameter is automatically fulfilled after
synchronization (if it has been defined by the administrator of
the Stratasync)
dTo upload the files from a directory onto the 2000 Platform
toward Stratasync, select the parameter Upload from and press
right arrow key to enter the directory path (example: disk/Stratasync). The directory Stratasync is defined by default.
