The purpose of calibrating a node is to speed up the scanning process by calculating the exact distance to the fiber node. Since CPD cannot occur within fiber, it does not make sense to the take time to scan this portion of the network. When you calibrate a node, the calibration information is automatically transferred to the device database. The information is used by the system, and the next time the network is scanned – the scan only takes place in the RF portion of the plant.
