Autotest on Twisted Pair Cabling
The procedures for an Autotest on shielded and unshielded twisted pair cabling are
the same. The test tool tests shield continuity if shielded cable was selected and the
shield test enabled when the cable type was selected in SETUP.
To run the Autotest on twisted pair cabling, refer to Figures 3-1 through 3-3 and
proceed as follows:
1. Attach the appropriate link interface adapters to the main and remote units.
Refer to the table in the appendix.
2. Turn on the remote.
3. Connect the remote to the far end of the cable link. For channel testing,
connect using the network equipment patch cord.
4. Turn the rotary switch on the main unit to AUTOTEST.
5. Verify that the settings displayed are correct. You can change these settings in
the SETUP mode.
6. Connect the main unit to the near end of the cable link. For channel testing,
connect using the network equipment patch cord.
7. Press
T
to start the Autotest.
Notes
Pressing
T
when the previous Autotest was not saved causes
the test tool to display a warning message. In this case, you can
either save the results of the previous test by pressing
S
or
delete the results and start a new Autotest by pressing
T
.
If a remote is not connected, the test tool displays the message
SCANNING FOR SMART REMOTE
and does not run the
Autotest until a remote is connected.
If the calibration message appears, refer to “Calibrating the Test
Tool” in Chapter 6 for complete calibration instructions.
