to match that of the main end.
3.4 Defining Custom Standards
Existing cable test standards can be modified to create a maximum of
23 additional custom standards. Custom standards are initially labeled
as Custom #1 and Custom #2. Once you have defined a new standard,
it appears in the cable-standard library identified by an asterisk (*).
The tests performed and the PASS/FAIL limits are set by copying one of
the existing cable test standards. The customization consists of selecting
which pairs will be included in the test and whether or not the shield is
required to be present for the Wire Map to PASS.

1. Set dial to Autotest, Quick
√
, Wire Map, Length, or Traffic.
2. Press either arrow key to display the cable-standard library and highlight
one of the two custom cable test standards.
