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.

To disable it, clear the box.
