Enabling or Disabling the First Connector Check
Enabling or Disabling the First Connector
Check
Note: This function is available in all OTDR modes. However, the first connector
check parameter used in Fault Finder mode is independent from the one
used in the other OTDR modes (Auto and Advanced).
The first connector check feature is used to verify that the fibers are
properly connected to the OTDR. It verifies the injection level and displays
a message when an unusually high loss occurs at the first connection,
which could indicate that no fiber is connected to the OTDR port. By
default, this feature is not enabled.
Note: The first connector check is only performed when you test at singlemode
wavelengths.
To enable or disable the first connector check:
1. From the Main Menu, press OTDR Setup then press the General tab.
2. To enable the first connector check, select the First connector check
box.
OR
To disable it, clear the box.
