Cable diagnostics are performed using Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

test methods.

This cable test is only accurate for cables 7 - 140 meters long.

The test takes approximately 5 seconds. The switch displays the results

of the test immediately upon completion, including common cable

failures, as well as the status and approximate length of each cable

pair.

Potential conditions which may be listed by the diagnostics include:

OK: Correctly terminated pair

Open: Open pair, no link partner

Short: Shorted pair

Not Supported: This message is displayed for any Fast Ethernet

ports that are linked up, or for any Gigabit Ethernet ports linked up

at a speed lower than 1000 Mbps.

Impedance mismatch: Terminating impedance is not in the

reference range.

Ports are linked down while running cable diagnostics.
