Error Message Resolution
Front-Panel Connection Status
The TFS3031 automatically checks the front-panel connection for
Intellitrace tests. If the front-panel connection is not good, or if the
fiber under test is too short, the test stops and the following message
appears on the display:
Poor connection or short fiber.
Clean/adjust the front panel
connector. Push START/STOP to
retest, OK to continue, or STOP to
exit.
A singlemode fiber 150 meters or less in length or a multimode fiber
75 meters or less in length (or any high-loss fiber) can cause this
message to display. In this case, press the
OK
softkey to continue the
test.
If the message is caused by a dirty connector, disconnect the fiber
from the TFS3031 and clean the fiber connector and the laser output
port as described in the previous section. After cleaning the
connectors, either press
OK
to continue the test or press
START/
STOP
to start a new test and recheck the connection.
NOTE
. You can press the OK button to continue the test without
cleaning the fiber. However, test results made with a poor front-panel
connection may not be accurate.
To cancel the test and clear the message from the screen, press the
STOP
softkey.
