Identifying Fibers
To customize the identification items:
1. Depending on the unit onto which you are working, locate the
configuration file:
In Windows XP on a computer or on an FTB-500 platform:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\EXFO\ConnectorMax\Custom Fields.
On an FTB-1 or FTB-200 v2 unit: D:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\EXFO\ConnectorMax\Custom Fields.
In Windows Vista and 7 on a computer:
C:\ProgramData\Exfo\ConnectorMax\Custom Fields
2. Open the file using a text editor that supports Unicode UTF-16
encoding.
3. Modify the four identifiers to reflect the desired changes. You can set
them to be visible or not as well.
The identifiers are limited to 15 characters. Special characters
(? / < > " : * | \) are not supported.
The identification item Fiber ID is set to have auto-increment attributes.
You can change the start, step and stop values as well. The start and
stop values must be a number between 1 and 999, and the step value
must be a number between -2 and 2.
Note: The text is case-sensitive and will appear as you write it on-screen.
4. Save and close the configuration file.
The changes will be effective the next time you open ConnectorMax.
