Saving Different Types of Results in the One
Record
You can save results from different types of DTX modules in
the same test record. For example, you can save network
connectivity results from a DTX-NSM module in a record
that contains cable test results for the same link. Or you can
save OTDR results from a DTX Compact OTDR module in a
record that contains fiber loss results from a DTX fiber
module.
To save results with existing results, press
N
, enter the ID
of the existing results or select the ID from the Auto
Increment ID list or the List of downloaded IDs; then press
N
again.
IDs that already contain the type of results you are trying to
save are preceded with a “$”.
The tester warns you if you are about to overwrite existing
results of the same type, or if the media type for the
existing results does not match the type for the results you
are trying to save.
Using the Talk Mode
The talk mode lets you talk to the person at the other end
of a twisted pair or fiber link. Two-way communication over
twisted pair requires one good wire pair. Two-way
communication over fiber requires fiber modules and two
fibers.

The talk mode is disabled during cable tests.
