For a complete cable test NEXT, PSNEXT, ACR, PSACR and Return Loss
measurements must be performed on both (near and far end) cable sides.
During Remote tests the device on the far cable end acts as the main unit (performs the
measurements) while the device on the near cable side acts as the Remote unit
(terminates the cable).
Complete cable test when using another Multi LAN 350 on the far end
All Remote tests can be performed. After completion of a remote test the measured
results are transfered via the measured cable pair to the main unit and displayed.
The Multi LAN 350 connected to the far cable end must be set in position REMOTE and
powered on.
A complete cable test can be performed without interchanging the measuring
instruments.
Each instrument's memory location has two separate segments for the Near End and
Far End tests. When storing complete Autotest data, the results are stored
simultaneously in both segments.
