Chapter 6: Operation
When the Level 1 test is complete, you can choose to
continue to Level 2 and use real data from your own hub,
switch, or PC to expand the testing. Verify is designed for 4-pair
cable only (use Basic Test UTP for other pairings). See Section
2.5, List of Functions for a listing of tests. 250 test results can be
stored for later printing.
BASIC TEST UTP: Move the cursor to Basic Test UTP and press
Select to test UTP cable for length, opens, shorts, split pairs (plus
distance to these faults), and wire map. BASIC TEST UTP does
not perform LAN performance verification.
TRACER TONES ON: Move the cursor to Tracer Tones On and
press Select if you wish to energize a cable with a tone (plug the
cable into the Main Unit's RIGHT jack). The Remote Probe
detects the tone at the far end of the cable. This is useful in
locating cables in crowded wiring closets. When selected, tracer
tones will stay on for one hour.
NOTE: Use the right jack when tracing unknown cables (it is
protected from accidental high voltage exposure).
