Proof of Performance
1. Connect the PL adapter to the main
handset and channel adapter to the
remote.
Highlight the copper test icon and
press ENTER.
Note: Current test standard shown in
red circle.
Setup:
Configuring MPTL tests
5. Enter a known NVP value for the
cable and press ENTER;
or
press F3 (Meas NVP) to calculate the
NVP for a known length of cable.
3. Highlight Twisted Pair Perm and
press ENTER.
6. MPTL is configured and ready to test.
The current test standard line will
update to display the newly selected
standard.
2. Highlight TIA or ISO and press
ENTER.
4a (TIA). Highlight Cat 6A MPTL (UTP
or STP) and press ENTER.
4b (ISO). Highlight ISO Ea PL2/PL3
MPTL (UTP or STP) and press ENTER.
TIA application note
MPTL is defined in the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard that
was not ratified when LanTEK software version 3.200
was released.
The pass/fail criterion for MPTL is identical to the
Permanent Link test limits. While there is no expectation
that the specifications for MPTL will change; version
3.200 is testing to a draft standard.
ISO application note
MPTL is not currently specified by ISO, though a task
group in ISO/IEC-SC25/Working Group 3 is working to
specify MPTL.
ISO and TIA actively work to make new specifications
common. Due to customer demand, and the expectation
that ISO will adopt MPTL, it has been added to LanTEK
version 3.200 software.
Use the TIA cat 6A MPTL selection if testing MPTL
cabling configurations to a current standard document
is required.
