3.7 To Validate a Cable Link by Functional Testing
You can use two LAN Solution Network Testers to
exercise a cable link without requiring additional
equipment. You can also do this through a hub or switch
with or without any other equipment being present.
We’ll refer to the two testers as the Validator and the
PING Generator. The Validator uses the Validate Link
mode, and the PING Generator uses the PING Test
mode.
1. Connect the Validator to one end of the link you
want to test.
