Discovering Cabling Characteristics
Discover mode lets you quickly check wiremaps, measure
length, and determine if the cabling is connected to a
network or video device. Discover mode runs continuously
to help you isolate intermittent connections.
Discover mode tells you about the following:
For twisted pair cabling
•
Wiremap
•
Length
•
Speed of an attached port (such as a hub or a
network interface card in a PC)
•
Connection to telephone service
For 75
Ω
coaxial cabling
•
Continuity
•
Length
•
Indicates signal presence or connection to a device
(such as CATV service, VCR, DVD player, satellite dish,
or antenna)
•
TDR (time domain reflectometry) plot. This shows
impedance changes along the cabling.
Results from Discover mode cannot be saved.
To test cabling in Discover mode:
Note
Not connecting a wiremap adapter or remote ID
locator to the far end of twisted pair cabling
limits the types of wiremap faults the tester can
detect.
1
Connect the tester to the cabling. Figures 6, 7, 8, and
13 on pages 20, 21, 23, and 33 show typical
connections using a wiremap adapter.
You may also connect to cabling connected to
network or video devices.
