Test Result:
The description of the cable diagnostic results.
•
OK
means the cable is good for the connection.
•
Short in Cable
means the wires of the RJ45 cable may be in contact somewhere.
•
Open in Cable
means the wires of RJ45 cable may be broken or the other end of the cable is simply
disconnected.
•
Test Failed
means some other errors occurred during cable diagnostics. Please select the same port and
test again.
Cable Fault Distance (meters):
Indicates the distance of the cable fault from the Switch port, if the cable is
less than 2 meters, it will show “No Cable”, whether the fiber is connected to the port or not.
Cable Length (meter):
If the test result shows OK, then cable length will be indicated for the total length of
the cable. The cable lengths are categorized into four types: <50 meters, 50~80 meters, 80~100 meters and
>100 meters. Deviation is +/-2 meters, therefore "No Cable" may be displayed under "Test Result," when the
cable used is less than 2 m in length. This test can only be performed when the port is up and operating at 1
Gbps.
NOTE:
Cable length detection is effective on Gigabit
ports only.
The definition of cable pair is listed below:
Pair1: PIN4, PIN5
Pair2: PIN1, PIN2
Pair3: PIN3, PIN6
Pair4: PIN7, PIN8
Monitoring > System Log
The System Log page provides information about system logs, including information when the device was
