When Margin Display is set to
TIA Margin Display
, marginally passing test results (those for
which the passing value falls within the Scanner’s accuracy range) are marked with “*PASS”. When
Margin Display is set to
ACR Margin Check
, a cable will pass if a failing NEXT test result is within
the Scanner’s accuracy range AND if the ACR result is within an acceptable range. When Margin
Display is set to
None
, the only possible Autotest results are “PASS” or “FAIL”.
In the Autotest memory list screen, the test status can be “P” (PASS) or “F” (FAIL), or if the
Autotest was run with Margin Display set to
TIA
, “*” (MARGINAL PASS).

. This
screen lets you select which pairs to test and which pairs to use as PASS/FAIL criteria.
The top row indicates the pairs to be tested during Autotest. The bottom row indicates the pairs
that will determine the PASS/FAIL criteria for the cable. Press the

saving.
Note: If a pair is selected for PASS/FAIL criteria, but is not selected for testing, all tests will fail. If
a pair is selected for testing but is not selected for PASS/FAIL criteria, the Autotest will not be
marked as FAIL if that pair fails.
