Running the Connectivity Test
To test for network connectivity:
Note
The network connectivity test will not run on links
with ground loops, analog telephone voltages,
ISDN voltages, or other voltages (except PoE
voltage). The tester warns you if it detects these
conditions.
1 Select DHCP or Static mode and enter ping addresses in
Setup, as described on pages 11-5 and 11-4.
2 Connect to the network as shown in Figure 11-3.
3 Turn the rotary switch to MONITOR; then select
Network Connectivity or Network Connectivity w/PoE.
4 Press
P
. Figure 11-4 describes the network
connectivity results.
5 To save the results, press
N
; then do one of the
following:
•
To save the results in a new record, create an ID or
select an unused ID from the Auto Sequence ID list
or the List of downloaded IDs; then press
N
.
IDs that already contain network connectivity
results are preceded with a “$”.
•
To save the results with existing cable test results for
the same link, enter the ID of the existing results or
select the ID from the Auto Sequence ID list or the
List of downloaded IDs; then press
N
.
About Testing for PoE (Power Over Ethernet)
Select Network Connectivity w/ PoE from the MONITOR
menu to check a link for PoE devices when testing network
connectivity.
If you are sure no PoE device is connected, select Network
Connectivity for faster testing that does not check for PoE
devices.
Select PoE Only to test a mid-span PoE device when there is
no switch connected to the link or when you want to check
only for PoE capability.
