24.3 Ethernet cable test
The Ethernet cable test checks for faults in LAN cabling. ARGUS interprets the
measurement result and determines whether this indicates an open line, a short-circuit or a
mismatch.

ARGUS in the status line.
Select one of the Ethernet tests:
- ETH TDR/cable test
- ETH port flash
Start the desired Ethernet test directly by
selecting it.
In this example, this is the ETH/TDR cable
test.
The Ethernet TDR/cable test is executed.
Opens the Ethernet cable test
settings, see page 286.
Opens the main menu.
Starts Ethernet cable test.
The Ethernet TDR should always
be measured at both ends of the
cable. This reveals e.g. contact
problems at the remote line end in
the second, twisted test, as this
type of fault can not be
distinguished from the line end.
