Enabling or Disabling the First Connector Check
The first connector check feature is used to verify that the fibers are
properly connected to the OTDR. It verifies the injection level and the
reflectance of the first connector. It displays a message when a unusually
high loss or reflectance occur at the first connection.
You enable or disable this feature for all wavelengths at a time.
To enable or disable the first connector check:
1. Press Menu, select Setup > OTDR, and then
press Select.
2. Display the Acquisition pane (F1/F2 key).
3. Use the up/down arrows to highlight First
connector check, and then press Select to
select it.
You can press Select one more time to clear the box.
Reverting to Factory-Default Acquisition Settings
You can revert to factory settings at any time. The IOR (group index),
backscatter, and helix factor will be reset and the first connector check
feature will be disabled.
To revert to factory-default settings:
1. Press Menu, select Setup > OTDR, and then press Select.
2. From the Acquisition pane, use the arrows to select Default, and then
press Select.
3. When the application prompts you, answer Yes (F1/F2 key).
