Identifying Fibers

To customize the identification items:

Depending on the unit onto which you are working, locate the

configuration file:

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.
