2. GETTING STARTED
This chapter provides a brief overview to the use of the LANcat for
testing twisted pair cabling. It is intended for those users with prior
cable testing experience who want to get started quickly. It covers
only the basics on initial instrument set up, connections to the
cable and the Autotest function. LANcat users with no prior cable
testing experience are advised to also review Chapter 7, Testing
Twisted Pair Cabling before using this instrument.
Initial Instrument Set Up
Before you first use the LANcat, you should check SETUP, which
controls many basic instrument operations such as power-down
time, backlight “on” time, feet/meters, date, time and serial output
format. Each of these settings, however, has a “default” value
established by the factory. To adjust any of these settings, refer to
Chapter 8, Set Up.
