4.5 Cable Diagnostics
The cable diagnostics function provides UTP cable testing. Its function is to find the UTP cable
status and can provide a very useful physical link troubleshooting tool.
1. When the cable is OK, cable diagnostics tells the tester how long the cable is.
2. When there is a problem, cable diagnostics tells the tester where the problem is and what
the problem is, such as a short, open, or which cable pair has a problem.
To access the Cable Diagnostics screen, type 5 and press <Enter>. The Cable Diagnostics
screen (see Figure 4-9) opens.
User Port - To run the diagnostics test on the User port, type 1 and press <Enter>. When the
test is complete, press <Enter> to return to the Diagnostics menu.
Extension Port - To run the diagnostics test on the Extension port, type 2 and press
<Enter>. When the test is complete, press <Enter> to return to the Diagnostics menu.
