Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
determining, based on analysis of an emitting signal that is received from an Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) that is optically connected to a device under test (DUT) that is to be monitored, whether a first end of the DUT is optically connected to a connection port and a second opposite end of the DUT is optically connected to the OTDR by determining, based on analysis of a signal level associated with the emitting signal to determine whether the signal level is greater than a reference level threshold, whether the DUT is optically connected to the connection port and to the OTDR;
generating, based on a determination that the signal level is greater than the reference level threshold, an indication that the DUT is optically connected to the connection port and to the OTDR; and
performing, based on the determination that the DUT is optically connected to the connection port and to the OTDR, a measurement associated with the DUT.
