Enabling or Disabling the First Connector

Check for Fault Finder

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 a 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.

Note: The first connector check parameter used in Fault Finder mode is

independent from the one used in the other OTDR modes (Auto, Advanced
and Template).
