amplifiers and patchcords for OTDR port in each direction.
The insertion loss is also caused by the span loss on the fiber between the two nodes.
Step 4 In the Config tab, for each sector, CTC displays a table with the default values for the following columns:
• Loss Sensitivity (dB)
The OTDR Position drop-down list displays two PPM port listing for each TNCS-O and TNCS-2O
card in the node. The list also shows the side to which the port is connected, the shelf, the slot and
port numbers of the card. The side is shown on the list, only if the port is connected to a side.
