Cable Test is an advanced feature that integrates a LAN cable tester on every Ethernet
port on the router. Through the graphical user interface (GUI), Cable Test can be used to
remotely diagnose and report cable faults such as opens, shorts, swaps, and imped-
ance mismatch. The Cable Test feature significantly reduces service calls and returns
by allowing users to easily troubleshoot their cable connections
