Test results for Optical Wavelength will be saved, provided to the Customer if requested, and recorded with the as-built documentation. All test parameters must pass with a 100% success rate and meet all applicable Rogers Service Level Agreements. Each Optical Wavelength will be subject to a RFC2544 test. If required, a circuit can also be subject to Bit Error Rate (BER) testing, but additional fees may apply. Optical transmit and receive values will be recorded in dB as well as any attenuation used to optimize the Customer signal. The date, time, location, duration, circuit identifier and overall test summary status will be recorded in the report. The test report will cover the RFC2544 test parameters seen in Table 1, below.
