Enabling or Disabling the Detection of Reflective Ends of Fiber
To enable or disable the detection of reflective ends of fiber:
1. From the button bar, press OTDR Setup.
2. From the OTDR Setup dialog box, go to the Event Table tab.
3. If you want to enable the option, under End-of-Fiber parameters,
select the Reflective end-of-fiber detection box.
OR
If you prefer to disable the option, clear the box.
4. Press Exit OTDR Setup.
IMPORTANT
The analysis will stop as soon as the loss of an event crosses the
end-of-fiber (EoF) threshold. The application will mark the event as
an end-of-fiber event.
In this case, even if you selected the option, the application will not
search the “noisy” portion of the trace for reflective ends of fiber.
If you want to do so, you will have to increase the EoF threshold
(see Setting the Analysis Detection Thresholds on page 152).
