Abstract
A fusion splicing system includes a fusion splicer including a fusion mechanism to fusion-splice optical fibers, and a control unit configured to control an operation of the fusion mechanism, a first information terminal capable of communicating with the fusion splicer, and a server capable of communicating with the first information terminal. The control unit is configured to set locking on an operation of the fusion mechanism before use. The first information terminal acquires locking release information to temporarily release the locking setting from the server, and transmits a locking release command signal including the locking release information to the fusion splicer. The control unit determines whether or not the locking release information included in the received locking release command signal is appropriate, and temporarily releases the locking setting on the fusion mechanism to enable the fusion mechanism when the locking release information is appropriate.
