Test Details
Voltage Checks
This test checks for a voltage in excess of 5 VDC across each pair. If a voltage is detected
above the stated threshold, then testing will be inhibited.
Network Partner Check
This check looks for an active network device (i.e., PC/HUB). If an active device is detected,
the capabilities of the device are indicated with a tick as shown.
The capabilities ticked show the possible transmission
rates possible for the device detected (IEEE802.3 standard).
Below is a more detailed explanation of the capabilities:
10 Base-T:
This indicates that the device is capable of
transmitting data at a rate of 10 Mbps half duplex.
10 Base-T FD:
This indicates that the device is capable of
transmitting data at a rate of 10 Mbps full duplex.
100 Base-TX:
This indicates that the device is capable of
transmitting data at a rate of 100 Mbps half duplex.
100 Base-TX FD:
This indicates that the device is capable
of transmitting data at a rate of 100 Mbps full duplex.
100 Base-T4:
This indicates that the device is capable of
transmitting data at a rate of 100 Mbps using four pairs.
1000 Base-T:
This indicates that the device is capable of
transmitting data at Gigabit rates.
Hub Blink:
On detection of a network device, the NC-500
will output activity pulses. These pulses will blink the
activity LED on the network device at a steady rate.
Power over Ethernet:
When connected to a network
device that has PoE sourcing capability, the NC-500 will
display “POE”. Detection of PoE is only possible with
devices that are compliant to the IEEE802.3af standard.
Device detected with PoE and
up to 100 Mbps capabilities.
Device detected with up to
1000 Mbps capabilities.
