Figure 6-35. UTP Cable Test Main menu.
BASIC TEST UTP: Move the cursor to BASIC TEST and press
SELECT to test a UTP cable for length, opens, shorts, split pairs
(plus distance to these faults) and wire map. BASIC TEST UTP is a
quick test and does not perform LAN Performance Verification.
Basic test results can be stored in Printer Memory.
NOTE: BASIC TEST UTP is often used when a cable fails to pass
the LPV test. Or it is used to test 2-pair UTP wiring (LPV
can only be performed on 4-pair wire).
Figure 6-36. Press the down arrow button
after the UTP cable is connected.
Follow the instructions on the screen (plug the cable you wish to
test into the LEFT jack). Only an uncoiled cable will give you the
most accurate length measurement. At this point in the testing,
the far end of the cable should not be connected to any device.
