The following section describes the additional sections of the Configuration Wizard when using the
Multiplexer. It should be noted that stages 3 to 11 must be completed for each active channel.

familiar with the use of the Configuration Wizard for a single fibre installation as described in the
Sentinel DTS user guide.
