ESULTS
A PASS* or FAIL* result indicates that a measured NEXT or attenuation
value is close enough to the Test Standard that it is within the measure-
ment uncertainty of the SCAN-LAN VI. As a result, the PASS or FAIL
judgment is uncertain, and therefore the SCAN-LAN VI cannot determine
with confidence whether the link conforms to the Test Standard.
To resolve link tests with marginal measured results:
1. Reduce the measurement uncertainty. If you are currently using a
Level I-rated Performance Module (PM), replace it with a Level II-
rated PM and retest. If the test result is still marginal, or if you are
already using a Level II-rated PM, go to the next step.
2. Recheck the link installation, focusing on connection points. Refer to
Chapter 8, Testing Twisted-Pair Cable
, for suggestions on causes for
excessive NEXT and attenuation. Correct the installation if possible,
and retest.
