The tester has eight test modes and a Setup function.
The test modes include Voltage Check, four Cable Test
modes (Jack ID, Cable Test, Cable Length, and Tone
Generator), and three Network Test modes (Flash Link
LED, PING Test, and Validate Link). For more
information about the test modes, see
Sections 4.1
through 4.3 . For information about the Setup mode, see
Chapter 5 .
The mode switch is the double button above the PWR
button. The top button is labeled CABLE, the bottom
button is labeled NTWRK, and the area bridging the two
buttons is labeled SETUP. Pressing a mode button will
immediately end any currently running task and either
begin executing the first task of a new category (cable or
network) or display the next mode in the same category,
waiting for SEL to be pressed in order to begin the
testing. Subsequent presses in the same category
advances to the next mode,and cycling back to the first
mode when the end is reached. Again, press SEL to
begin.
