Click the Fiber User Settings button 
on the Fiber Manager toolbar to access user settings:
Fiber Manager performs Y-style tracing by default. If you have any X-style splitters in your network, change this to X-style tracing instead. You can use directional tracing with either the X- or Y-style tracing types. To choose a tracing option, select the checkbox next to it, then click OK. A full description of X- and Y-style tracing is available in the Appendix.
Directional tracing allows you to determine in which direction the trace travels. When this option is disabled, the trace travels in all available directions. If you enable directional tracing, the trace will travel only in a direction you define. A full description of directional tracing and how it interacts with X-style and Y-style tracing is available in the Appendix.
You can adjust the default loss values for each configured splice type. When adjusting default loss values for more than one splice type, click the Apply button before selecting another splice type. Changing the default values does not affect existing data.
Connection Manager displays a warning dialog when disconnecting items which are normally connected permanently (e.g., backside ports). Uncheck this option to suppress warning messages.
In order to avoid the generation of incorrect data, fiber optic cables whose length source is set to Footstamps, Documents/Field Notes, or OTDR Length are changed after a split. Each of the two linear features resulting from a split revert to a length source of GIS Length + Slack Loops. A message displays whenever this occurs. Clear this checkbox to turn off these notifications.
