Note: The test loops until the DATA MODE button is held down, or O/ID button is
pressed, or after 5 minutes of no change in the test result.
5. Interpret display results and trouble-shoot potential cable faults.
• The pins experiencing error(s) appear in the Wire Map of the display screen.
• Refer to the LCD Display Screen section for details of the cable faults.
Note: The “X-over” symbol will appear if a properly wired (uplink) data cable is
detected. The Wire Map will show the pin connections with the crossover. Refer to the
LCD Display Screen section for details
USING ID MODE
The ID functionality of the CableMaster identifies cables using remotes. Each remote
isnumbered sequentially to help you easily identify cables.
1. Make sure the CableMaster is turned OFF.
2. Insert the cable plug into the corresponding receiver on the main tester (RJ11 jack
for voice cables, RJ45 jack for data cables, F-Connector for video cables).
3. For data or voice cables, insert a Network or Voice wire mapping remote into
an RJ Jack wall port. For video cables, attach Coax wire mapping remote(s) to the
F-Connector coax wall receiver.
4. Press the O/ID button to turn the tester ON and enter ID Mode. Wire mapping
results display as follows:
• A progression of “o’s” appear on the bottom of the display to indicate ID Mode is
active.
• If wire mapping remotes are found, the connector type illuminates and a numeric
value (1 to 19) appears in the ID field of the display screen showing the wire
mapping remotes that match the connected cable (see Figure 10).
• If wire mapping remotes are not found, “Open” displays in the LCD screen.
