Running Cable Diagnostics from the LCD
To test the physical link from the LCD:
STEP 1
Press and hold down the
Display
button on the front of the chassis until the
Ethernet
Cable
screen appears.
STEP 2
If the link is up, the panel displays the status of the cable. If the link is down, after a
few seconds the test starts.
After the test completes, the status of the cable appears. If the link is up, the
status appears as OK. If there is a problem with the link, the status is reported
according to the pairs within the cable.
These are the possible test results (because of screen space limitations, each
page shows two sets of cable pairs):
•
Short
: If the pair has a short, the message appears as "pair a-b short@ Xm"
(where "a" and "b" are the numbers of the pair, "X" is the location in the cable
where the short was found, and "m" stands for metres).
